[QUOTE="AvniD, post: 91069, member: 17155"] I wrote a different personal statement for each application as I generally had different motivations for each programme and university. This is the general structure I followed but [U]please note[/U] that I amended the structure, level of detail and length for each application according to their requirements and my motivations- [LIST] [*][I]Your background and its relevance to your motivations for wanting to pursue an LLM[/I] [LIST] [*]Definitely include details about your academic background, including courses you've studied and papers you've published/written that motivated you to pursue an LLM. [*]Bring in your professional background to showcase if/how it led you towards pursuing an LLM. [*]Depending on the university's word count requirements, bring in information about your personal background to demonstrate how it contributed to the development of your academic and professional goals. [/LIST] [*][I]Why do you want to study the LLM?[/I] [LIST] [*]What does studying an LLM mean for your professional and academic goals [*]Highlight courses you're interested in studying and why [*]Mention any academics that you would like to work with for your dissertation and why [*]Depending upon word count, elaborate upon any dissertation topics that you have in mind [/LIST] [*][I]Why do you want to study at XYZ university?[/I] [LIST] [*]Bring in information about their teaching style, programme structure etc. and elaborate on why this stands out to you [*]Bring in information about the quality of their careers services, alumni relations, speaking events etc. to highlight what attracts you to the university beyond the LLM [*]Tie in your background and motivations for the LLM with why you think the university is a perfect fit for you ( think about their student culture, the city the university is in and the advantages that affords, any strategic partnerships they have etc.) [/LIST] [/LIST] I hope this helps! Please do reach out if you have any questions. All the best 😇 [/QUOTE]
