A complete application package includes the following documents:
>> Copies of all certificates since and including the university entrance qualification
Certificates and transcripts must indicate individual grades or, if applicable, transcripts must contain all grades available at the time of application. If these documents are not in English, an English-language translation must be enclosed.
In case the final degree certificate for the bachelor-level studies is not yet available at the time of application, the application may be based on a proof of enrollment and an interim certificate listing the current GPA.

Applicants may also be asked to take an entrance examination held at VGU to prove their quantitative aptitude.
