The transcripts must show the courses you have taken and the grades you received. Predicted grades are required for the International Baccalaureate and British A-levels candidates who have not received their diploma by the application deadline. The French Baccalauréat candidates are required to send the results of the exams they already took in Première (épreuves anticipées). You must then submit your final exam results and a copy of your diploma as soon as they become available.
If you have attended university since leaving secondary school, then you must submit your university certificates and transcripts. For students who have attended university in Switzerland an ex matriculation letter is also required.
All certificates and transcripts that are not in English, French, German or Italian must be translated into English by a certified translator. The translation should be accompanied by comprehensive information on the school or university attended and an explanation of the grading and assessment system.
The essay is an important part of your application. It is an opportunity for you to showcase your strengths, motivation and interests. Your essay should be typed and contain between 500-650 words.
Your essay will tell us a great deal about you, and it will also enable us to assess your analytical skills and determine whether you can organize your thoughts and express them clearly. We expect you to produce an interesting personal account for your selected topic.
