After you have filled in details such as your personal information, prior education and language skills in the RSM Online Application Form (OLAF), you will be asked to upload supporting documents. 


CV (resume)You are required to upload your CV (in English) in the supporting documents. In this FAQ you can find some useful tips for writing your CV. While the CV is not used for the assessment, it can help the admissions office to have a better picture of your academic journey, language skills etc.
Grade lists

For applicants in their final year of high school: 

The evaluation will be based on the grades of the penultimate year (the year before your final year)


The grade lists must be certified (signed and stamped) by your school. A screenshot, Excel sheet or self-made Word document with your grades will not be accepted and your application will be deemed to be incomplete. It is not possible to submit new documents after the 31 January application deadline.


For applicants who have already graduated: Upload your secondary school diploma, final grade list and national exam results (if applicable). 

Additionally, grades of your current or previous higher education studies (e.g. University (of Applied Sciences) or Foundation Year programme) can be used for the assessment.


Do I need to translate my documents?  

If the original documents (diploma, grade lists) are written in a language other than English, French, Dutch or German you must provide an official English translation by a registered sworn translator. Always upload your diploma and/or grade list(s) both in the original language and the translation.


If your grade list consists of multiple documents, please combine them into one file in chronological order to minimise the number of files uploaded.
