Should I have 5 hard copies transcripts of my BSc to apply for an MSc?
Each university has an official website where it lists application requirements for different programs. Most applications are done online now, and transcripts are submitted electronically too - and usually its required that the transcript must be sent directly by the school where you got your bachelors degree. If your undergrad school cannot sent electronic transcripts to the universities you want to apply to and if you have only one official hard copy, you need to contact the MSc program admissions officers and ask what would be the correct way to submit the documents for your application. You might need to get a certified/notarized copy of your transcript (and if the original transcript is not in English, youll need to get a certified translation). Universities may also require international degree holders to get their transcripts verified by independent organization like WES. Each university is different, each program may have their own policies and requirements. Always contact the program directly if you have questions about application process.
