Cameroon - French, master's admission

Find out what you need to submit, what previous studies meet the general entry requirements, how to meet the English requirement and any special instructions for your country of study.

Meeting the general entry requirements

A Licence degree meets the general criteria.

To document your eligibility, please submit your Diplôme + Relevé de notes (for all years of studies). This includes any first level degrees you've earned. For example, with a DEUG + Licence, all three years of studies must be documented with transcripts and diplomas.

Meeting the English requirement

Students who have a French upper secondary qualification or hold a degree from a university where French is the main language of instruction are required to submit the results of an internationally recognised test in English - such as IELTS or TOEFL - in order to document that they meet the English language requirement.

1. Your university can send the official transcripts from an official email address (Academic Registrar's office, Examination’s office, or equivalent office) to verifications@uhr.se. This is the fastest and most reliable way to have your documents delivered.

Transcripts sent by a private individual will not be accepted.

Please note that we will not be able to answer any questions sent to this address from senders other than your university.

2. Your university can send the official transcripts in a sealed envelope. There are different addresses to use depending on how the documents are sent.
