Letters of recommendation

Letters of recommendation for master's programs

Individual letters of recommendation sent directly to a contact person at the potential university may be issued by the chair upon request. 
No recommendations will be released to students and no general reference letters will be issued.

In general, we recommend that you contact the chair where you wrote your thesis and seminar paper for a recommendation. Only on the basis of a thesis can an assessment be made that goes beyond the student's grades.

The following is required:

  • Courses attended at the chair, HISQIS- statement.
  • Master's program, university and contact person
  • Deadline for the letter of recommendation

Please send your request to the secretary at least three weeks before the deadline.

Contact the secretary for additional reviews or letters of recommendation providing the above information.
