You will need to provide two letters of recommendation for most UK master’s applications - one from an academic source, such as a professor or lecturer, and one from a professional source, like your current employer. With your 36 months of work experience in Electrical and Electronic Engineering, a reference from your employer will be especially valuable, highlighting your skills and achievements at work. If you have a strong connection with a professor, including an academic letter can further strengthen your application. Some universities accept online recommendations, so your counsellor can help you confirm specific requirements for each institution.
