Referee

Iam in the process of applying for a engineering masters degree in university of liverpool . I got a 2:1 in my second yr predicted a 2:1 for my last yr . However they are asking for referees for references and i don’t have anyone neither close to anyone to ask them to be my referee . Will i get rejected if i apply for the master without a referee

Are they not just asking for an academic reference? Can you ask your personal tutor?

It says “As part of admissions criteria we may require for two references” however im not very close to personal tutor or lecturers for me to ask them to be my referee

You don’t need to be close to them. Just arrange a meeting to outline what you are applying to and why. They’ll be very used to this.

Its not just about being close to them another thing is that the relationship between us is not good


Are there any academic staff that you have a better relationship with?
An academic reference isn’t going to talk about personal gripes.
