​Documentation of previous education​

Scans of your officially issued original transcripts and diplomas for your secondary and university/college education must be uploaded. If there is any information at the back of the pages, scans of the back pages must also be uploaded.  

It is very important that the scans are readable and that the whole page is visible, which means that all corners of the documents need to be visible.
