A Letter of Recommendation (LOR) is a formal document that evaluates and endorses your qualifications, character, and abilities. For UK master’s program applications, LORs are important as they give the admissions team insight into your academic performance, work ethic, and personal qualities from someone who knows you well. Ideal recommenders are professors or teachers who have taught you, and employers or supervisors who have overseen your work. Choosing people familiar with your abilities and achievements will help ensure your LOR supports your application strongly.
