Personal statement-mal?

[AnonymBruker]

Jeg skal søke på høyere utdanning i England nå, og trenger litt tips til hvordan jeg kan skrive og ordlegge meg i et personal statement. Er det noen her som vet hvor jeg kan finne gode og solide maler på dette, slik at jeg blir litt klokere?

Nå er det mange år siden jeg skrev min personal statement, men jeg tror ikke du finner en god mal noe sted. Jeg fant derimot gode tips på youtube. Bare søk på personal statement der så kommer det mye forskjellig opp. Hvis du er heldig har skolen din lastet opp sin egen video om dette 😊

Tenk på det som en type jobb søknad. Fokuser på motivasjonen din. Hva gjør at du ønsker å ta denne utdanningen? Hvorfor England? Hvorfor passer du til yrket/studiene og hva betyr det for deg å komme inn osv.?

Ikke tenk for mye på å bruke komplisert språk. Hold deg til et ordforåd du er komportabel med. Mitt brev var laaaangt ifra perfekt, men jeg kom inn på et av europas beste bachelor studier for grafisk design... Så hvis du vil se et eksempel så kan du like gjerne lese dette som et annet. Håper det hjelper:

In 2007 my class visited a school in London. We were given a tour that showed a great variation of what the art and media students were working on. The different design courses was what really caught my attention. Watching the students work with all kinds of different supplies, and methods unknown to us, made me realise that this was where I would like to see myself in the near future. The products I have later seen from students, made while studying at British universities are, in my opinion, superior of the ones created at the Norwegian universities. This makes me think that the quality of the British programs must be a lot better, and that is an important reason for me to want to study aboard at a British university. I also believe that a BA from your country will help me a great deal when it comes to getting a job in the future, both because your educational system is well respected and because it is important to be comfortable with the English language.

At my previous school I chose a two year course called media and communication. Most of my school-day revolved around solving tasks that we could be given in a future employment within media. The result would be evaluated in production, communication and design. The assignment were widely varied. Examples of projects we were given was to create a music video, a story for a newspaper, graphic profile or something within animation, web-design og photography. What I enjoyed the most was to draw, preferably with vector graphic. We had some larger project where the whole class worked together, like to produce a newspaper or plan an exhibition. At these tasks I always volunteered to be a graphic designer or an illustrator. Although I enjoy working alone or in a small group the best, I appreciate the team working skills I developed from this type of work.

I also draw outside of school, though in later time I have not had much time to do so, mainly because of homework and my volunteer work at the red cross. I miss the opportunity to sit down in front of my computer for hours, and just play with shapes, colours and fonts. I love to create and design, and think that I have what it takes to make a career out of it. At school I always received some of the highest grades for my work, and always kept the deadline. I am capable of working alone or in a group, and while in a group I am comfortable with both leading and following instructions. My eye for shape and colour is strong, but can still be developed further. I hope for the opportunity to work together with talented students, and that friendly competition will force me into developing my skills quickly. I am capable of pushing myself to higher levels, but my experience is that people around me, with the same goal, makes the whole proses more fun and effective. I wish to get inspired and to be inspiring. The thought of hard work and trying new things excites me. I want to learn different ways of coming up with ideas and solving problems, and also hope to get to use other things than an pencil or a computer in the proses.

I hope that a degree at a British university will help me get a job as a creative designer in the future. I do not have a clear image of my future career yet, but I believe this course will help me, in some way, no matter which path I choose to follow. Three years of studying in Britain definitely feels like it would lead me in the right direction.
