We understand that sometimes it is not possible to ask your current line manager for a reference, in which case we are happy to accept a reference from a former line manager/supervisor. Failing this, we will accept a reference from a customer, supplier or adviser with whom you work on a professional basis. We do not now require an academic reference, as the undergraduate transcript we ask you to submit will provide us with all of the necessary information and contact details we need.
