What documents do I need to provide for my master's degree application abroad, especially regarding arrears and provisional certificates?
You will need to provide your official academic transcripts showing all completed semesters, including details of any arrears. If your final degree certificate is not yet available, submit a provisional certificate or an official letter from your university confirming your expected graduation date and completion of all coursework.
If you have arrears or pending results, include a university letter that states your current enrollment status, details of any arrears, and the anticipated date of degree completion.
Additional documents typically required:
- Statement of Purpose (SOP)
- Letters of Recommendation (LORs)
- Curriculum Vitae (CV)
- English language proficiency test scores (such as IELTS)
- Financial documents showing proof of funds
Requirements can vary by university and country.
