The reference

The referee for a visiting student application should be an academic member of staff in the faculty or department in which the applicant is enrolled, and must

  • Complete the reference section of the application form
  • Upload the form and supporting documents to submit the application to Christ's College. The link to do that is here (applications cannot be accepted by email) and the deadline is 1 March 2024.

The reference content should give a sense of a student's intellectual ability and capacity, explain where they stand in their current cohort, and comment on the likelihood that they will flourish in a highly academic environment.

It is not possible or necessary to have more than one referee, but a referee can correspond with other academics and collect comments on an applicant's academic ability and potential to include in the reference if appropriate. A reference cannot be written by somebody who is related to the applicant.
