  • Two letters of recommendation from academic or professional advisors.
  • Copies of up to three representative publications, if any.
  • Copies of all degrees and transcripts.
  • Copies of any other supporting material, such as exams, honors, awards, etc.

Additionally, each call specifies the academic domains of interest and specific admissions details.

Candidates for a master's degree must submit a recognized bachelor's degree or qualification deemed to be equivalent to degree level as well as the official transcripts (grade reports) of their first-degree studies. In addition, there could be special requirements for various master programs.

Transfer Admission

Candidates who have completed university graduate-level work in an accredited program at an institution other than Frederick University, are eligible to apply for transfer admission. Such candidates should, along with their application form, submit the official transcripts (grade reports) and syllabi (course descriptions) for all graduate-level work completed.
Transcripts are evaluated by the relevant Department to determine the number of credits to be transferred in accordance with the Frederick University curriculum requirements and the candidate's academic performance.

English language Requirements:

Good knowledge of the English language is required for all programs of Frederick University taught in English.

Students whose native language is not English will have to take the Frederick University English Placement Test (FUEPT). Students who are qualified for exemption from the English Language Courses should apply to the Center of Languages with the necessary documentation.

Students who are not competent in the English language are required to take special English classes to improve their skills and, when necessary, they will take a reduced load for that semester. Students who may need more vigorous preparation will take an intensive course in English before enrolling in a regular program. Intensive courses commence at the beginning of the fall and the spring semesters.
