Do I need Letters of Recommendation (LORs) from my workplace and university for the application in Germany/Singapore for a Master's?
Yes, you will typically need Letters of Recommendation (LORs) for your master's applications in Singapore, the UAE, and Germany.
- Singapore: Most universities require 2 - 3 LORs, mainly from professors. Professional LORs may be accepted if you have relevant work experience.
- UAE: Usually 2 - 3 LORs are needed. Academic references are standard, but professional LORs are also valued for applicants with work experience.
- Germany: Most programs ask for 1 - 2 LORs. Academic LORs are preferred, but professional ones are accepted, especially if you have work experience.
With your strong academic record and 36 months of work experience, providing both academic and professional LORs is recommended. Requirements can vary by university and program, so your LeapScholar counsellor can help you confirm the specific documents needed.
