Yes, you can submit work experience documents and letters to support your professional background for university applications in New Zealand. These are important for master's programs that require or value prior work experience.

Make sure you have:
- Work experience letter on official company letterhead, stating your job title, duration, responsibilities, and signed by an authorized person.
- If that's not available, you can use appointment letters, pay slips, reference emails, or job descriptions as supporting documents.

All documents must be genuine and in English (or with certified translations if needed). Requirements can vary by university, so confirm what each program accepts.

If you need help preparing these documents, contact your LeapScholar counsellor.
