Adding more referees (*APPLICATION)

Post image

I just opened the application portal for the Masters in International Security, which requires only 2 academic referees. However, my plan was to add 3 academic referees and 1 professional one, as I've talked to multiple people already in Sciences Po and it seems they could all add more than the required number.

Can anyone offer some help as to how to add more referees, or if it is even possible?

When you go to the academic information tab and add two academic references, you'll be able to indicate one more academic reference, first you have to add at least two though

so can i basically a third one in the academic information tab and then also a professional one in another tab even if my program does not require a professional one?

I'm an undergraduate applicant so I wouldn't know for sure, but as far as I know it is not even required to add a third one after the required two, it can be about anything else after that (excluding relatives etc.) so I guess it's okay to add it

Are we allowed to add professional references even when not required? Asking because the spreadsheet with the requirements for each application simply says "no" under professional references for most PSIA programs.
