In principle, the reference letter can be issued by any person. However, the person providing the reference should ideally come from a higher-ranking position and be able to assess the person's performance neutrally and objectively. There is no standard form or format for the letter of recommendation that needs to be used. Please make sure that each recommendation letter is no longer than two pages and includes the following details:

• Your relationship to the author
• Your qualities/achievements/ambitions in your respective field
• Your personal traits and goals
• The author’s contact details

We are also happy to accept job references as a letter of recommendation if they meet the above requirements.
