• Please upload your academic records of all previous secondary and higher education (completed and uncompleted).
• Digital copies of diplomas and transcripts are initially required. Once you have been admitted, we will inform you how to submit certified copies so we can verify your documents.
• The documents must be in the original language. If they are not in English, Dutch, German or French, they must be accompanied by official translations into one of these languages.
• If you have not yet completed your current programme, state your expected graduation date and submit copies of all transcripts obtained to date plus a list of subjects still to be completed.
• For students with a refugee background who do not have verifiable documentation of their previous education, Leiden University offers an alternative assessment procedure. If this applies to you, make sure to upload a detailed CV containing an explanation of which documents you have and detailed information on all education attended.

You can apply for admission before receiving the results of your English language test. However, a sufficient result will then be a condition of your eventual admission. Of course, if you already have your English language test result, you can upload it right away.
