The answer is YES. You will then apply with a mark printout showing a provisional final mark. The grade will automatically appear on your grade printout once you have passed all module examinations and all grades have been posted by the Examinations Office. Students from other universities should contact their respective Examinations Offices.

Important notes: a) Check your grade printout in good time and make sure that all grades are listed and that everything is recognised (e.g. an internship). b) Also talk to the professors with whom you took the exams about this. Inform them that you would like to continue your studies in the Master's programme and which documents you need for your application. c) Also talk to the staff at the relevant examination office about your plans and try to resolve any problems before the application deadline.
