Yes, experience letters from your current and previous employers are typically required for UK university admission and visa applications.

- For university admission: Most UK universities ask for official experience letters to verify your professional background, especially for postgraduate programs. These should be on company letterhead, signed by HR or your supervisor, and list your job title, responsibilities, and dates of employment.
- For visa applications: Experience letters may be needed to support your work history, particularly if your experience relates to your chosen course.

Given your 12+ years of work experience, these documents will help strengthen your application. If you need help preparing or formatting these letters, contact your LeapScholar counsellor.
