I recommend that get your employer to write your reference, explaining why therein especially if you think that heshe will give you a good one Also, I dont believe that admissions tutors really do put much weight on references above other more relevant sections of the UCAS form. The UCAS website explicitly says that references can be given by employers - and it seems pragmatic to me, because whether they want academic details or not, the fact is they are going to get only the opinions of tutors who have met the OP for a week or two.Īll pertinent academic information will be supplied in the other sections of the UCAS form. Its also important to take into account that the tutors on your access course have years of practice writing references for UCAS and will know the best way top sell you and your qualifications on paper.
You need an academic reference rather than a personal one, and it is vital your referee knows your academic capablities and predicted grades.Īlthough your employer knows you well they do not know enough about this side of you to provide an accurate reference.Īdmissions tutors often look at the reference and predicted grades before anything else, and if they are written by your employer this will not stand very strong.
