A possible structure that you could use is as follows: Current Studies • Degree - how your studies relate to your postgraduate application.This is particularly important if you are applying for study or research that does not seem to obviously follow on from your present course • Subject areas - mention those related to the postgraduate course that show a relevant base of knowledge • Technical skills that you have developed that may relate to your future studies • Related projects that you may have worked on, including group projects, labs and individual projects • Evidence of managing your project - research skills, the application of experimental methodology etc Why this Master’s/PhD? • Show your motivations - what particularly appeals to you about the course or research topic? • Link your plans for future study with your career aspirations • Demonstrate that you are making an informed decision by referring to research that you have done into the course, studies or research area. It is essential to show that you are genuinely motivated to follow this route and have thoroughly thought it through, in order to show that you will not drop out when the going gets tough Past Work Experience • An opportunity to demonstrate that you are able to adapt and ‘fit in’ to a range of environments and experiences • Mention how you were successful, and any achievements that demonstrate your ability to work effectively • Cite relevant skills that may relate to the course or your career aspirations, and achievements, perhaps in challenging situations • If the experience is not directly related to your application then think about showing the transferable skills that you have used and developed Extra-curricular Activities & Interests • You can talk about these to show your personality and demonstrate transferable skills e.g. team-work, ability to take on responsibility, communication, etc. • Think about what to include.Is it interesting and relevant; does it add value to your overall statement? Why this University? • Showing why you have selected this route of study in this particular university/department/group crucially demonstrates motivation and enthusiasm • For postgraduate research applications in particular it is important to show that you have investigated the area in depth. Perhaps mention individual research groups, projects, particular individuals, etc. and link these in with your own research interests and activities • If applying to a university overseas you could state what you will gain and give culturally.
