Leipzig: Proof of professional experience This is a specific requirement for Leipzig University as an entrance university. Please note that for the selection in the first stage, the indication of professional experience in the CV is sufficient. Proof may be requested later as part of the admission procedure at Leipzig University. For more information, please visit the website of Leipzig University.

Note:

1. It is possible to submit the language certificate after the application deadline, but at the latest before the selection meeting takes place. Please upload the registration confirmation for the English test and indicate the exam/result date in the application. The certificate should be available at the selection committee meeting (April 18, 2024)!

If you experience any problems, i.e. the language test centres are closed or the tests have been cancelled, please upload a confirmation of the cancelled tests + a confirmation of your test application. If you could provide additional language certificates or confirmations (e.g. older certificates etc.), this would also be very helpful. Due to this unusual situation, we will evaluate all applications on the condition that the language certificates are submitted at a later date.

2. If you have not yet received your diploma/degree certificate, you can apply for the programme, but you should mention in your application when you will graduate and that you will provide the selection committee with your diploma/certificate as soon as possible after graduation. Your diploma/degree certificate must be submitted as hard copy at the latest during admission to the entrance university!
