General notes on writing the statement of purpose
This is the most important part of the application form. With your statement of purpose you can persuade the selection committee to accept you for interview. In order to convince them, you must be convinced yourself. You must be sure of what you want, why you want it and how this particular programme will help you.
Before beginning to write, review your intellectual and personal development over your academic and professional career so far. In answering the questions of the application form, explain why you wish to study in the UK, stating clearly the professional reasons for your proposed course of study, as this is the main point of interest. Try to demonstrate clearly how your professional development and future career will be enhanced by studying in the UK. What will it enable you to do better in the future? Do not give any unnecessary information!
It is a good idea not to write on the application form immediately. Develop an outline first, then write a draft proposal and examine it thoroughly.
Date and signature
Please do not forget to sign and date your application.
