This was a really useful lecture with lots of good tips on how to apply and how the processes works.
Below are my notes
- Applying for post graduate study can enhance your employability
- Can you afford a Masters? Do you enjoy studying? – questions to ask yourself
- Apply earlier as courses will close when they have enough students
- Have an up to date CV when applying
- Don’t apply for something that you have no experience in. Most courses want you to have study them previously however there is the exception of a few courses that anyone of any skill set can apply for
- Search around to find the best course for you
- Don’t be scared to ask Cardiff met staff for help
- If u have already studied at the uni you can get a 25% discount on your course fees
Personal Statement tips
- Why did you choose the course
- Why did you choose that uni
- Relevant study/ work experience
- Evidence of transferable skills developed in work, on placement, volunteering, Uni and life
- Conclusion and summary sentence, show enthusiasm and commitment
- around 300-500 words long
