References will be verified so please ensure you provide an institutional email address when providing academic referee details. 

Personal Statement

• Your personal statement is an important part of your postgraduate taught application. This is your chance to engage the Course Selectors and demonstrate your passion, enthusiasm and commitment for your chosen course. You can use it to clarify and expand on any information in your application and highlight what you want university to know. It should be personalised for the specific course you are applying for.
• Personal Statements should be approximately 1-2 pages. It must be in English and in your own words.
• Quick tips
  • Try to avoid vague statements such as 'I have always wanted to go to your University because I have a passion for study' or 'I want a better job'.
  • You don't need to repeat information you have already given us. For example, university already know the details of your undergraduate degree from your transcripts.
  • Likewise, you can include information about your employment, hobbies and voluntary work, but you need to add more detail to explain how they are related to the course you are applying for.
  • Donʼt submit the same generic statement for many different courses. You must tailor the statement for each specific course.
  • You may use your personal statement to address any gaps in your knowledge and how you have or plan to address them.
