FAQ

  • Can I provide reference letters from my employer?

    We strongly prefer letters from academia signed by a professor, but if you can’t provide those, and if you think your professional experience is an asset, you can ask your employer to support your application.

    The letter should provide details on:

    • Your position and responsibilities
    • Qualifications and accomplishments
    • Motivation to face challenges
    • Capacity to work in groups 
    • Propensity to thrive in new environment
