Confusion about LOM
Hi everyone,
I’m applying for MSc CS/AI related programs in Germany and I’m confused about the Letter of Motivation (LOM/SOP) requirement for some universities.
Programs:
* Philipps University Marburg – MSc CS
* University of Kassel – MSc CS
* BTU Cottbus – MSc AI / Cyber Security related programs
On the official university pages, I either could not find LOM mentioned or the information seems unclear. But while applying through Uni-Assist, some applicants say they uploaded one anyway.
So I wanted to ask:
* Is LOM actually mandatory for these programs?
* Did anyone here apply through Uni-Assist without uploading LOM and still get evaluated normally?
* Does Uni-Assist itself ask for it even if the university page does not?
* If you already applied/admitted to these universities, could you share what documents you submitted?
The process is honestly a bit confusing because university websites and applicant experiences seem different.
Would appreciate clarification from anyone with similar applications. Thanks!
