Reference letters

I am always happy to support students with reference letters. As this is time-demanding, however, please plan in advance, as I will usually need two weeks for the letter to be sent, and provide me: 

• a CV 

• the list of your course grades

• a short draft letter that contains the qualities and experiences you want to have mentioned in your letter, the scholarship/program you apply for, and that is already addressed to the respective institution. 

• A link to the scholarship/program description you apply for. 

• The referee evaluation form that already includes the relevant information like your name etc. (if applicable). 

Please note that I usually do not provide students with blank reference letters not addressed towards a specific program/institution/employer. Exceptions for students that took several of my classes and/or wrote their MA under my supervision may apply.
