You will need to provide the following documents for your master's application:

- Completed application form as per the university's requirements
- Bachelor’s degree certificate and official transcripts/mark sheets (with certified translations if not in English)
- Statement of Purpose (SOP) explaining your motivation and goals
- Letters of Recommendation (LORs), usually 2 - 3 from professors or employers
- Proof of language proficiency (such as IELTS/TOEFL), if required
- Updated resume (CV) detailing education, work experience, and skills
- Passport copy with at least six months' validity
- Passport-sized photographs as per specifications

For Germany, you will also need an APS certificate (Academic Evaluation Centre) to verify your academic documents. For the UAE, an equivalency certificate from the UAE Ministry of Education may be required if your previous studies were outside the UAE.

Document requirements can vary by university and are subject to change. If you need help organizing or preparing these documents, your LeapScholar counsellor can guide you.
