A Letter of Recommendation (LOR) serves as a testament to your academic achievements, skillset, and personal attributes, as evaluated by your professors or departmental heads. In a professional context, it can also be an assessment of your skills provided by your manager or immediate supervisor.

LORs are essential components for many German university applications. The Admissions Committee places significant importance on the recommender's endorsement, as it reflects the student's qualifications and aptitude for the program they wish to pursue.
