What kind of letters of recommendation (LOR) are required and who should provide them in Australia/Italy for a Master's?

You will typically need 2-3 letters of recommendation (LORs) for master's applications in Italy and Australia.

Given your academic background in Architecture and 12 months of work experience, you should include both:

- Academic LOR: From a professor or academic supervisor who can speak to your academic performance and skills.
- Professional LOR: From a current or former employer who can highlight your work ethic and professional achievements.

Some Australian universities may require LORs tailored to the specific course. Always ensure your recommenders know you well and can provide detailed, relevant examples of your abilities. Requirements can vary by program and are subject to change.
