Professional and academic references
You will need to provide the details of two referees who should be senior people acquainted with your work and who are able to comment on your academic and professional suitability to undertake the course.
Ideally, one reference should be academic and one professional. If this is not possible, two professional references may be accepted.
You will be asked to provide email addresses for your referees so that they can submit their reference via the online referencing system, so it is important for you to ensure that your referee is able to provide a reference for you before you submit your application form.
You should try to advise your referees to include the following information:
- How long they have known you and in what capacity.
- Their opinion of your experience, achievements, professional interests, and the capabilities which you will bring to the programme.
- Whether they believe you have the academic and analytic skills to successfully study at master’s level.
- Whether they believe you will fit well on a masters-level programme.
- Whether they consider you have the enthusiasm, commitment and determination necessary to complete the programme successfully.
If your referees are unable to use the online referencing system, or do not have an email address, please contact the ICE Admissions office for further assistance.
Transcripts
A transcript is a list of all the courses you have taken during a programme of study, with the result you obtained, and with the credit value if applicable.
If you are currently studying, please provide a transcript listing the courses taken during your programme of study, with the results or grades obtained for each.
If you have previously completed degree-level study, please provide a transcript or degree certificate for each degree-level programme you have studied, showing the date the degree was awarded and the final class or grade obtained.
The transcript should be uploaded via the Applicant Portal. Please note that we may also ask you to send the originals via post if we make you an offer of admission and supplying these may be a condition of your offer.
If your documents are not in English, you must also upload a full translation of each document, prepared by a registered translator.
