Yes, most UAE universities require two letters of recommendation for master's applications. These are usually from college professors or academic advisors familiar with your academic background.

Some universities may also accept a letter from a professional contact, especially if you have significant work experience, like your 7 years in the field. In your case, you can generally provide one letter from a professor and one from an employer, but always check each university's specific requirements, as they can vary.

If you need help identifying the right recommenders or understanding university requirements, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
