Notes on documents

If you have a school leaving certificate from El Salvador, you will need to submit the following documents:

  • Your school leaving certificate (“Título de Bachiller“) issued by the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology ("Ministerio de Educación, Ciencia y Tecnología")
  • An overview of subjects and grades from the last two or three years of secondary school, depending on whether you attended school for 11 or 12 years, issued by the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology

Certificates issued by the Deutsche Schule San Salvador are not sufficient and do not replace the certificates issued by the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology.

If you have an IB diploma, this must also be submitted.

  • Official programme structure (“Plan de estudios“) of your degree programme

This document must include information on the courses/exams and credits to be completed for each semester/year of study, and the standard duration of your degree programme. Uploading the programme structure to your My assist online account is sufficient. A translation of this document is not required.
