Do I need to prepare Letters of Recommendation (LORs) for my application in Singapore for a Master's/MSc?
It depends on the program. For the MSc in Information Studies at NTU Singapore, LORs (Letters of Recommendation) are optional. You can include them if you feel they strengthen your application, but they're not required.
For the MSc in Accounting and Financial Analytics at NUS, LORs are not accepted or reviewed.
However, some programs - like NUS Graduate School's PhD and Master's (Research) programs - do require LORs. Requirements can vary, so always check the specific guidelines for each program.
If you need help understanding LOR requirements or preparing your application, contact your LeapScholar counsellor.
