Are there any requirements for the reference letter?

There are no hard requirements as to what should be in the reference letter, you should at least upload one personal reference by a professional expert, not a friend or a relative. Like from your former education (a teacher, study advisor or mentor). A (former) employer or someone who can tell us something about your efforts or tasks at a sport or volunteer organization. Please make sure this is specifically for this application, by elaborating on certain aspects that determine your suitability for the Bachelor's Honours Programme. If it is not possible to hand in the reference letter in English, a letter in Dutch is also acceptable. You can translate a reference letter in another foreign language into English, but combine both letters into one whole (upload one document).

Additionally, next to the obligatory reference from a qualified expert, it is allowed to ask UG staff from your faculty as a second referent, but they do not have to write a formal recommendation letter. Instead, after consulting with the involved UG staff member and only with their consent, provide us with a name and contact information so we can contact the UG staff personally.
