Hi all,
I'm applying for an MA in Archaeological Conservation at Durham for 2016 entry.
So far the application form is very straight forward; the only thing I'm struggling with is the personal statement. It's required to be a maximum of 32,700 characters.
Is it essentially an extended personal statement a la UCAS, just with a postgrad spin on it? ie: Why you want to do the course, why you're suited to it, why they should pick you etc.
Do I need to mention my interests outside of work/study?
Has anyone had to write a postgrad personal statement like this before and would be willing to share some knowledge?
Thanks,
Clare
