You can take a Letter of Recommendation (LOR) from either your bachelor's university or your workplace - choose the one that can provide stronger, more detailed insights about your skills and suitability for a master's in Ireland.

- Academic LOR: Best from a professor or advisor who knows your academic performance well. - Professional LOR: Valuable if your supervisor can highlight relevant work achievements, especially if your experience matches your intended course.

If you need to choose one, pick the recommender who can write a more personalized, specific letter with clear examples. For programs requiring two LORs, you can submit both types.
