For your UCAS application

If you are applying through UCAS, you will be required to enter contact details of a referee on the application form. UCAS will then contact your referee to ask them to submit the reference. Keep in mind: 

• We cannot accept references that come from non-professional email accounts such as Hotmail, Yahoo or Gmail
• If your referee provides a reference from a personal email account, you may be asked to supply a new reference
• Candidates who submit an application through UCAS without a reference may be rejected

Further guidance on submitting a reference through UCAS can be found on the UCAS website under References for UCAS undergraduate applications

For direct application

If you are applying directly for a part-time or postgraduate course, you must provide two written references with your application form. 

These written references must be signed, dated and on company-headed paper.
