Personal Statement

This is your big opportunity to tell admission staff why you want to apply for a particular degree and illustrate that you have the motivation or experience to help you complete the programme. The sort of things we are interested in hearing about include:

  • Relevant work experience or links within the industry
  • Personal goals and how you think the programme relates to them
  • Interests and general information about yourself

You are not allowed to use additional sheets, so be as concise as possible.

Academic reference

Each applicant has to provide an academic reference which comments on their ability to undertake a course of study. If you are a school leaver, this includes a prediction of what you will achieve in the results pending section and why the referee feels that you are suitable for a particular area of study.

This, together with the personal statement and other the details, should help create a well-rounded application.
