Should LORs be from professors in my own field or can they be from other university staff in France/Italy for a Master's?

Yes, your Letters of Recommendation (LORs) for master's applications in Italy and France should ideally come from professors in your own field who have taught you or supervised your academic work. Academic references are highly valued and strengthen your application, especially when they relate to your chosen area of study.

If you cannot obtain LORs from relevant professors, recommendations from other university staff may be accepted, but they should provide detailed and specific insights about your academic skills and potential.

For the strongest application, prioritize LORs from professors who know your work in your field.
