ATTENTION! If you're applying to a master's degree, you will need to submit your final paper documents (legalized/apostilled and translated) at this point. They need to reach the university before the deadline and BEFORE you know the result. Postgraduate students's applications are ranked based on their paper documents, which need to be available to the university in order to evaluate them, rank students and inform them of the result.
