Entry qualification

Secondary education The entry qualification documents are accepted in the following languages: English / German / Russian / Latvian. Often you can get a suitable transcript from your school. If this is not the case, you will need official translations along with verified copies of the original. Please provide the secondary school leaving certificate in the original language. If the diploma is not issued in English, Russian, German or Latvian, you should provide a certified translation. The document must be legalised (usually done by Ministry of Education or Ministry of Foreign Affairs of your country). Legalisation is a Certification of Document Authenticity: certification of document authenticity (legalisation) means verification of signature and seal of a document.
