How can the documents be delivered?

Scans of documents are uploaded to the recruitment portal. At the end of the recruitment process, you need to present the originals (high school diploma and diploma of graduation with a supplement). The originals can be delivered in person, sent by mail or courier.

What is the difference between a scan of a document and its original?

A scan of the original is an electronic version of the original document. The original is the physical document in the possession of a university applicant, such as the high school diploma he or she received after passing the high school diploma or the diploma with a supplement after graduation. For the purpose of initial recruitment, uploading a scan of the certificate/diploma to the recruitment system is sufficient.
