Bachelor's Degree Certificate
As a rule, exchange students are registered for bachelor’s degree/undergraduate programmes. Only students who have completed their bachelor’s degree programme and have included a copy of their certificate in the application package may be registered for a master’s degree/graduate programme.
However, students registered for a bachelor’s degree programme may take master's degree courses as long as they meet the requirements for the course (proven by the transcript of records).
