Managing professional or academic references

A professional reference or academic reference is a recommendation from a person who can vouch for your qualifications or ability. Almost all universities explicitly ask for two to three recommendation letters from previous teachers and employers. If you need to provide recommendation letters from professors or lecturers, these references should focus on your academic skills and achievements. Similarly, if you are submitting reference letters from employers, the admission committees of already applied universities will want those letters to reflect your skills that are relevant for your master’s degree. However, for diplomas, certificates and undergraduate degrees, these references are not required. We can guide you to request your possible referees for proper professional and academic references. For your kind information, it is crucial that you pick the right person while asking someone for a recommendation letter.

Writing an outstanding Statement of Purpose / Study Plan

A study plan or statement of purpose (SOP) is the most important document for university admission regardless universities and programs. The document reflects one of the most important aspects of your application because it represent the admission committee who you are, why you are applying, why you are a good candidate than others, and what you plan to do in the future after completing the degree. You can imagine a sop is similar to a cover letter while applying for jobs. However, unless you are applying for a master’s degree, it is not mandatory. For your kind information, try to quantify your achievements and be specific while writing your sop.
