Letter of recommendation
Information about the letter of recommendation
In order to obtain a letter of recommendation from Prof. Laumer, the following steps must be followed and information provided.

Letters of recommendation are usually very individual, which is why no sample is issued by our chair.

The letter can be written in German as well as in English.

The letter of recommendation must include the following contents:
- Full name, date of birth
- List of courses taken with Prof. Dr. Laumer and a short summary of the contact you had with him or the chair
- A statement of the strengths and activities that are important to the addressee of the letter of recommendation
