Who do I need to get Letters of Recommendation (LOR) from, and how should I reach out to them in UK/Ireland for a Master's?

You will typically need two Letters of Recommendation (LORs) for master's applications in the UK and Ireland: one academic and one professional.

- Academic LOR: From a professor, lecturer, or academic advisor who knows your academic work.
- Professional LOR: From a current or former employer, supervisor, or manager familiar with your professional achievements.

Choose recommenders who can provide specific examples of your strengths. Reach out politely by email or in person, explain your study plans, and share your CV and program details to help them write a strong letter.
