If it is a Master level programme which you are applying to join, your official translations will not be sent back to you. If it is a Bachelor level programme which you are applying to join and you would like the official translations returned to you, add the sum indicated on the Application Handling Fee slip and the University will return them to you by Recorded Delivery.
