Art Foundation Diploma 2025 Personal Statememt help!! (UAL, Kingston, Oxford Brookes)

So I’m planning on applying to 3 foundation courses for 2025 entry - UAL, Kingston, Oxford Brookes. I have started writing a personal statement and I’ve found loads of questions to answer and points I need to make but HOW am I supposed to write a comprehensive overview of me, my work and why i want to do foundation in as little as 300 words?? I’m currently at around 600 with no intro or conclusion and I’ve only talked about a couple of artists and the work I am doing currently in school (i’ve also talked about my job which is creative but not sure if this is essential?)

Kingston word limit is 300, UAL is 500 and Oxford Brookes has no guidelines that I can find

Any help would be appreciated!!

You don’t need to go into too much detail. You’ll have more chances to show how artists have influenced you and your creative process when you submit your portfolio.
For now all your PS needs to cover is:
1. why do you want to do this course (you can do a PS for each university for FAD so take advantage and mention something about their facilities or specialisms that you like at each)
2. A brief overview of your creative process and preferred media at the moment. Maybe mentioning a specific artist that has influenced you and one specific piece of work you have enjoyed (make sure that’s one that you are 100% sure will be in your portfolio)
3. Any short thoughts about what you want to do in 2026 after your FAD
Your PS isn’t an essay about art. It’s a statement about why YOU want to study art.
