    Personal statement

    at a university or college. It is a chance for you to articulate why you
    intended to study a particular course or subject, and what skills and
    experience you possess that show your passion for your chosen field.
    What information I should know…

    • Look at course descriptions and identify the qualities, skills, and experience it
    requires – you can use these to help you decide what to write about.
    • Tell the reader why you’re applying – include your ambitions, as well as what
    interests you about the subject, the course provider, and higher education.
    • Think about what makes you suitable – this could be relevant experience, skills,
    or achievements you’ve gained from education, work, or other activities.
    • Include any clubs or societies you belong to – sporting, creative, or musical.
    • Mention any relevant employment experience or volunteering you’ve done
    • If you took part in a higher education taster course, placement, or summer
    school, or something similar, include it.
    If the university doesn't specify what type of
    information to include, consider the following:
    • Your background, your reasons for applying for a particular program and why you
    deserve a place above other candidates - discuss your academic interests, career goals
    and the university and department's reputation, and write about which aspects of the
    course you find most appealing, such as modules or work experience opportunities. Show
    that you're ready for the demands of postgraduate life by demonstrating your passion,
    knowledge and experience.
    • Your preparation - address how undergraduate study has prepared you for a postgraduate
    course, mentioning your independent work (e.g. thesis) and topics that most interested
    you.
    • Evidence of your skillset - highlight relevant skills and knowledge that will enable you to
    make an impact on the department, summarizing your abilities in core areas including IT,
    numeracy, organization, communication, time management and critical thinking. You can
    also cover any grades, awards, work placements, extra readings or conferences that you've
    attended and how these have contributed to your readiness for Masters study.
    • Your goals - explain your career aspirations and how the course will help you achieve them.
    A great personal statement shows five things

    etc. (grammar check apps or proofreaders)
    • The connections between your past education / experiences, present
    activities, and future goals.
    • Your philosophy of the field and why you are pursuing an opportunity in that
    area.
