Hi there, I was wondering if any masters students (or anyone in fact) would know any information on the references needed for masters programmes applications? Applying from outside TCD, I'm unsure whether my reference simply has to be a professor's contact details, who is familiar with my work, or an actual written reference in terms of a letter of recommendation?

Cheers in advance
