Hi there,
I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to clarify whether the recommendation letter is a mandatory requirement or optional for the Master’s degree program in Politics.
Unfortunately, I can be unable to provide a recommendation letter due to personal constraints. I would appreciate it if you could let me know whether this will affect my application.
Thank you very much for your time and guidance. I look forward to your response.
Best regards,
Inomjonov Javohir

Dear Jack,
I suppose you are refering to the Master degree program Politics, Economics, Philosophy M.Sc. ?
If this is the case, you will find all relevant information regarding the admission requirements in this document:
https://www.uni-hamburg.de/onTEAM/studiengaenge/pep.pdf
In the section "Documents to submit" you will find the following information:
"Two letters of recommendation from a university lecturer in your first degree program.
The lecturer must hold a PhD and must be full-time employed at an institute of higher
education. Please note that we do not usually accept references from postdocs/research
fellows. If in doubt, please contact
application-pep.wiso@uni-hamburg.de. Under the
following link we provide a reference form the lecturers may use. In general students
upload the letters of recommendation as part of their application documents in Stine.
Lecturers, who want to upload their letters confidentially at our website"
If you are refering to a different program (i.e. the German language "Politikwissenschaft M.A."), please check our list of Master degree programs with the respective admission information PDF here:
