Personal Statement Enquiries!!

You can only submit one personal statement which goes to all 5 (or less) Universities that you apply to.

Same statement goes to all. Just focus more on art but mention the other too. They are both a bit similar so you can also talk about both in general. How you enjoy being able to express yourself or some crap like that. They are used to reading statements catered for multiple courses and the whole statement isn't just about the specific courses. You also should talk about hobbies or stuff you do, like work or volunteering.

Film and TV is very different from art/design so see if the film unis will accept a separate statement. If not then pick a one or the other. You don't want to come across as confused or unsure.

OP is planning to apply for either art or a combined honours course for Art and Film (or similar) meaning that if they talk about art it will apply to both so there will be no confusion. There is no need to write a whole separate one for Film/TV one as it can still be added to the statement. Even if just applying to the art, Film/TV is still a creative subject and can be paired with art.

The OP has talked about applying for art by itself and a number of different combinations of subjects (art/fine art/design/film/TV). And no you can't lump subjects together just because they're creative just as you can't lump them together because they're healthcare related or humanities subjects. Admissions officers want to see interest in their specific subject or course and not just a general statement about being creative. You need to show that you've done your research about the course which will not come across if you talk about things not covered by it.

I meant if they talked about TV and media in their art application it would still be fine as long as they talk about art too because while it wouldn't apply it shows creativity and broader interest. Not that they should just lump them together and talk about it in general like you have assumed.

And that's bs on how you need to only talk about stuff covered by the subject. Sure they want to know why you want to do that specific subject. But even applying to the same course at different universities that wouldn't work because they have different modules so same course covers different things. You need to talk why you want to do the course in general and how passionate you are about it. Where you want to end up in the future and how the course would help you. Also talking about other activities you do that shows you're active and take care of your own personal growth.

If you just talk about the course they offer, your application will be ****.
