Obligatory documents for completed studies

Hello everybody!

I am applying for the first time and I need a clarification about obligatory documents.
I completed my Master degree but not yet received an official degree certificate. I have an official statement from my university in which is stated that I have successfully completed my studies, but they still have to calculate the final average grade and they will do it in september.
Is this certification enough? or should I put this master degree in the ongoing studies section?

Please help me.

I think that statement will work but ask officials from the traineesship office, just to be on the safe side.

Yes, I tried but they replied in a ambiguous way:

If you completed your Master's Degree and you have a certification from your university to prove it, then you may include this degree in the "completed studies" section. Nevertheless, we recommend that, when mailing your application file, you attach a copy of your transcripts or of your diploma supplement.

No clarification! Anyway thanks mdenic85

Heya!!

I think that a statement will not be enough as it is not a diploma or certificate. they might want to see the final grade? just guessing now

Why not put your masters on ongoing courses? and just send the statement from your university with the application?

I have a question as well, if anyone knows the answer. I don't have a transcript of records from my undergraduate course... Is is mandatory or I can just send the diploma. (I can't get it now as the university is closed for the summer holidays)

And also, I will finish my master's in September (that's when my dissertation is due), does anyone know if I still need a transcript of records from my uni for the masters or not as it is not finished yet?

Thank you very much and good luck to all!

Hi Iris.S.F...

I kind asked them kinda similar question and they told me something like this: "It is up to you to decide what will improve your application and what not". So, I guess it is not mandatory, but it should get you more "pluses"...

I see. Thank you for your reply!

Well, i think if you submited your paper and"defended" it, so it is just a mafter of fhe day you OBTAIN it in a proper form,than you can statr it as "done"; if you still did not finish all and got final grad,as I did not, i put it into on going and i wrote expected date od obtainig i.e. finiahing my studies.
Did I do wrong?

I'm coursing the last year of a double degree (Law+Management). I won't finish until May 2013. Anyway I have finished my first cycle of university studies(first three years of the degree). I would like to know if I can apply to the traineeship.

Thanks in advance!!!
