The Student Request For Recommendation Letter is a formal document used within Irish educational institutions to facilitate the process of obtaining academic or professional recommendations. This document type is particularly important in the Irish education system, where formal recommendations play a crucial role in academic progression and professional development. It must comply with both Irish education regulations and EU GDPR requirements regarding personal data handling. The document is typically used when students apply for further education, employment, scholarships, or research positions, and includes structured sections for personal information, academic history, and specific request details. It serves as a formal record of the recommendation request and provides necessary context for the recommender while ensuring all legal and institutional requirements are met.
