Why in the world does Farrer & Co require to put in my referee's ADDRESS? How am I supposed to know my uni tutor's address and why do THEY need to know 😭😭 Does anyone know if it would be okay just to input my university or workplace address? Also phone number as well???? It's a bit weird to ask my 60-something year old male professor for their mobile number.

Ngl when this has come up for me, I usually enter the uni/work address and their work phone number

This is not weird.
All the information you need is in the professors email signature. Their work email + telephone and the address their office is in.

Hey!

When I applied to Farrers last year, I just included the university building, and the corresponding main phone number, for my personal tutor (as I wasn’t able to find any information on whether my tutor had a separate phone number). This seemed to work fine!
