Masters Application- Statement

Hello,

Background- I graduated with 2.1 (69%) in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics, 2023. I want to pursue to Masters in Economics and Finance in Kings College London. I do not have any practical experience that i could related to in my personal statement, I have only worked in customer services roles.

I have started writing my personal statement, however, I just think it is not up there. As I dont have practical experience it is making it even more difficult.

I now request someone who has recently applied at KCL or anyone else to offer there top tips and recommendations in writing a good personal statement in this situation. A rough structure would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your help.
Hi,
Although I've not applied to KCL, I have completed masters applications before.
My best advice would be to focus on the skill set you've developed over the course of your degree ,and your motivation and passion for the course. Although you may have not gained practical experience, you will have transferable skills that you've gained throughout your course and your customer service roles as well.
Best of luck with your statement,
Meg 🙂
