Send in your documents by post

After submitting the online application, you will see a list of documents you have to submit by post to our admissions office. The list can be different according to the applicant's personal profile. It usually includes:

• an outprint of your application form with your signature
• the certificate of your Bachelor's degree including your list of courses and grades OR an official transcript of records, in form of a legalised photo copy (round or triangle seal required, check  here)
  
• evidence of your  language skills in English
• certificates of professional training or of employment, additional qualifications if related to the program (e.g. participation in a research competition, internship etc.)

Please send these documents before the end of the application period to the Student Admission as described in TUMonline. Some documents can be submitted later (s.  FAQs).

If your Degree Certificate is not issued in English, German or French, please do submit a legalised photo copy of the version in Original Language and (!) a translation. A certified translator can usually  legalise both copies.
