Letters of recommendation

We require two recommendation letters (or alternatively, two BIGS-DR reference forms) from your professors or supervisors. These must be emailed directly to bigs-dr[at]uni-bonn.de by your recommenders (i.e. separate from your application PDF file). References submitted by applicants together with their application documents will be deleted during the screening process. Letters of recommendation must be submitted by the application deadline. To confirm the authenticity of recommendations and reference forms, we require the following:

• Recommenders should send the documents through an official academic or professional email domain, or
• Recommenders should stamp the documents with an official academic or professional seal, or
• Letters of recommendation should be written on an official letterhead.

Our admission officers may request additional proof of authenticity from the recommenders. .
