Who should write my reference?

  • Your referee should know you well enough, in an official capacity, to write about you and your suitability for higher education.
  • If you're at school or college, or left recently, ask your principal, head teacher, teacher or tutor.
  • If you left school or college several years ago, ask your current or previous employer or in the case of voluntary work your supervisor.
  • If you've recently attended any training courses you could ask your training provider.
 

Who should not write the reference?

  • It is not permitted for family, friends, partners or ex-partners to write your reference. If we find this to be the case, your application may be cancelled.
 

There's lots more information about who to ask and what they should say about you in the reference section.
