You must obtain the appropriate number of references in support of your application. The number of references required for this application is indicated below. If you are currently studying/have recently studied, the referees must be familiar with your academic work, preferably from the institution at which you have recently studied/currently study. If you are in employment, you may if you wish include a relevant work reference if a second reference is required. If your circumstances are different, please contact us for further advice before applying. Please ensure you have the permission of a nominated referee before you supply their details to us and that they are happy to supply a reference for you. You have two choices when submitting a reference: 1.You can give the details of your referee, which must include an email address, and we will contact them directly by email on submission of your application. Your referee will be asked to log on to the online University of Brighton Referee Portal to submit your reference directly to us. 2.If you already have a copy of a formal signed reference, you can attach an electronic scanned copy here. In both cases, we may ask for an original paper copy of any reference at a later date. If you cannot supply the requisite reference information using these two formats, please contact us for further advice before applying.
