TYPES OF LETTER OF RECCOMENDATION YOU NEED TO STUDY ABROAD


A letter of recommendation is an important part of the documents required to proceed with the study abroad process. Based on your profile and the course for which you are applying there are two different types of Letter of recommendation.

Academic LOR 

If you are a student who is looking forward to studying abroad, then you should go for an academic LOR. If you are applying for a masters course from any institute abroad, then you should get your LOR done from your college, and if applying for a bachelor course abroad, then your should get it done from your school. Some universities might ask for up to three LOR’s. In such cases, you should get your LOR done from your teachers, someone you have worked with, and someone with substantial academic credentials whose recommendation carries good impact.

Professional LOR

Usually, the students who want to apply for MBA programmes abroad are required to get a professional LOR. This is because majority of MBA admission seekers have work experience. The students are required to get professional LOR done from their employer rather than approaching college from where they have done their bachelors.

Students with work experience who wish to apply for other masters after completing a masters programme abroad can also get an LOR from the employer.
The content of an academic LOR is different from that of a professional LOR. Academic LORs are based on the academic achievements of students during the course of their latest qualification, where as a professional LOR talks about the career growth and achievements of the applicant as an employee in the organisation.
