Are there any specific requirements for Letters of Recommendation (LOR) from academic and professional mentors for a Master's?

Yes, Irish universities typically require two Letters of Recommendation (LORs) for master's applications - one academic and one professional.

- Academic LOR: Should be from a professor or academic advisor who knows your academic work well. - Professional LOR: Should come from an employer or supervisor familiar with your professional experience.

LORs must be typed on official letterhead, include the recommender’s name, position, contact details, and signature. They should clearly explain your relationship, highlight achievements with specific examples, and be professionally detailed - not generic.

Some universities may have unique LOR guidelines, so requirements are subject to change.
