We check if there are mandatory subjects and grades for qualification for a programme which you have chosen. Until you attach all of the required documents in the system or if there are any doubts regarding their quality / authenticity, your application will not be accepted. The reason will be given in the comment section. It is not a permanent status – you can make the necessary corrections. Your application will not be evaluated until you attach the missing documents. As soon as you attach the required documents, our Office will reevaluate your application.
Next, we verify whether a document which confirms your language skills is an internationally recognized certificate (e.g. IELTS, TOEFL) and if it confirms the required language level. In the case that your language certificate does not meet the above-mentioned criteria you will have to participate in the language interview organized by the University.
The candidates who are asked to undergo a language interview can only qualify once they pass it.
