Reference letters
Often, when your academic reference letter is being written by colleagues or professors from overseas, they will request the letter remain confidential. In this case, request that they:
- scan and send the soft copy of the letter as an attachment to our email address This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. . In the email, state clearly your full name and your OASIS ID (AASxxxxxx).
- in addition to this, request they send the original hard copy of the letter in a sealed, signed envelope to you. You should leave the letter sealed and submit this at your interview.
Masters by Research Applicants must:
- meet requirement of relevant group of applicants
- submit a summary research proposal on application that includes methodology, timelines and a brief literature review (no template available)
- have reports from two academic referees using the academic referee report template
- provide a list of relevant publications
- show evidence of supervisor contact at application and should supply evidence of past research and highlight outcomes (e.g. copies of relevant emails and correspondence should be uploaded with the application).
- provide the name of a proposed supervisor in section 8 of the Application Form.
