Explanation of points 1-12 of the cover-letter-form

  1. Please check the boxes if you will send these required documents: CV, Letter of motivation.
  2. Please check the box if you have completed a language proficiency test. Provide the name and score of your test. (see Minimum Requirement: English language proficiency)
  3. Please check the first box if you send a transcript of a completed Bachelor. If you are still studying, check the second box. (see Minimum Requirement: 60 ECTS credits or comparable from computer science)
  4. Check the box if your self-made table contains all your core computer science courses and the sum is 60 ECTS or more, see Self-made table)
  5. Preliminary quick check code for ECTS: From September to January, the IAS Team offers a preliminary quick check service of your table and transcripts for a preliminary estimation whether you fulfill the minimum requirement of 60 ECTS in computer science. If you have received a quick check code, please state. (Further information)
  6. Check the box if you provide a copy of your final bachelor certificate. In any case, state your final/preliminary grade in numbers. If you have not yet finished your degree, state your current grade average. Make sure the grade (preliminary/final) is stated in an official document, e.g., transcript or certificate. (see BSc certificates)
  7. To compare your grade to others, please provide your grading scale/system in numbers. The grading scale has to contain the minimum passing grade and the maximum grade. E.g., in GPA grading scales “1” often is the minimum passing grade and “4” the maximum of the degree’s grading scale. Please, provide evidence for your grade and your grading scale (e.g., usually certificate, transcript, or additional document). If you fail to provide your grade and / or grading scale you will receive a lower ranking. State the page number of your application, the grade and grading scale is displayed in the official documents. Highlight both for faster finding. (see Overall grade)
  8. State the actual length, which you have already studied in years. State the standard period of study of your degree in years, e.g., “3.5/4” means that you have studied 3.5 years out of 4 years of your program.
  9. Provide a degree description = diploma supplement. Your university needs to provide a document providing information about standard study length, your credit system, grading system, in-class hours/contact hours, weeks of contact hours, length of a semester = everything to understand your degree and compare it to the European System. If your transcript contains ECTS you do not need a diploma supplement.
  10. Please state the name of the Bachelor course you are applying with (e.g., Computer Science, Information Technology, Telecommunication Engineering, Economics, ...).
  11. Please state the name of your university and country (e.g., Visvesvaraja University India, Universität Osnabrück Germany, Technical University of Madrid Spain, etc.).
