Dear Admissions Committee,
Re: Kristina Urbanova
I am writing this letter of recommendation for Ms. Kristina Urbanova who is applying
for a master program at your university. I am a senior lecturer in the International
Communication Management program at The Hague University of Applied Sciences.
As part of her Bachelor degree Kristina took several of my courses, such as
Introduction to Communication, Branding, the Branding Project and Creative
Thinking. In her final year, I supervised Kristina’s internship at an internet start-up
company in Amsterdam as well as her final research paper that completes our
undergraduate degree. She proved to be a highly motivated student, with
consistently solid academic results and in my view has all the qualities needed to
continue her studies with a master program.
I have come to know Kristina as result-driven, aiming for higher than average grades.
The fact that she passed all of her exams at the first attempt while combining her
studies with a part-time job shows dedication to goals and excellent time
management. An active member of the university’s PR team she was involved in
developing a new website for our International Communication Management
program. In addition to Kristina’s academic background, I find her to be very
independent, reliable and trustworthy. She is effective both in individual assignments
and works well in teams.

2. In short, I believe that Kristina would be an asset to your master program and I can
highly recommend her.
Please contact me if I can answer any further questions.
Sincerely,
Peter Hanssen
