RECOMMENDATION LETTERS

Three independent recommendation letters must be submitted by your referees to support your application. They should be from individuals who are not relatives but who know you personally, and are familiar with your work and career trajectory to date. Emails will be sent to your referees as soon as your form is submitted. You are advised to submit your application as early as possible to give your referees sufficient time to prepare and submit their recommendations. Your application will be considered incomplete if the recommendation letters are not submitted by the application deadline.

Letters of recommendation from referees are of great importance in assessing applications. Please ensure that you obtain the consent and accurate contact details of your three referees BEFORE you begin the application process.

Incomplete applications will not be processed. Please ensure that all the letters are written in English.
