What are certified copies?
Certified copies are copies of your original documents bearing a signature and stamp or seal which indicates that the copy is identical to the original document. Certified copies can be issued, for example by the dean’s or registrar’s office of your university, the embassy, or a public notary. Please notice that submission of certified copies is NOT required for application but only upon admission to the program. Regular copies are copies of your original documents without additional certification that the copy is identical to the original document. Regular copies are acceptable for the first round of evaluation of your application. Applicants will be asked for certification of relevant documents upon admission to the program.
