The photocopies of the original documents will be certified in a court of law or by the issuing institution; of course, you are not expected to forward your original documents. I hope this explanation will be useful.

It's simple before the photocopies can be certified to be a true copy of the original, you have to present the original copy for confirmation. The original will always be yours. I have done this before, it's a lot easier than you imagine. In fact, I would advice you have about five certified copies in case you might need it for other application

Which school would you recommend for a doctorate degree in management science,the university I am seeing there are only Sookmynug women's university which looks like a gender based(women) university based on its name unless they offer their programs for both genders,they offer most of my courses of interest most especially International Management and Strategy and Seoul National University of Science and Technology which offers only Engineering and Science related courses.

Please have been trying to call the embassy to know the deadline for submission. Please does anyone know deadline for submission for Nigeria.
