Personal Statement
Programme: Masters in Science Degree in Media, Communication and Development
I have always known that I'm an extrovert. In addition to finding it easy to start (and maintain) conversations with people, I have a flair for teamwork and team effort. This is perhaps the root of my passion for behavioral sciences. It is also on the basis of this that I would like to pursue a career that perfectly aligns with my personality.
A career in advertising is perhaps one of the most rewarding for extroverts like me. It is also one of the most difficult to succeed in. However, as one of my current tutors, who also doubles up as my mentor, constantly points out; it is by relating with the best that we become the best. The London School of Economics is a topnotch institution known for churning out top-level and world-class graduates who go on to succeed in their respective careers. From my research about your institution, I found out that notable individuals including but not limited to TV and media personalities like Harry Maxwell, Greg Barker, and Edward R. Pressman, to mention but a few all...
Based on their unique talents and the level of skill gained at a premier institution, all these individuals have one thing in common -- they have all gone ahead to succeed in their respective fields. I have the passion, drive, and determination to succeed in my career of choice. Admission to the London School of Economics for the aforementioned programme will give me an edge in the highly competitive (and crowded) field of advertising.
To tell you a little about myself, I am currently in my third year of instruction at the University of Sussex. I am undertaking a degree in Psychology. One of the modules that I am currently taking is Economic and Consumer Psychology. From this module, I have learnt that through advertising and marketing, companies can effortlessly influence the decisions and choices made by the masses. Modules like these further stimulate my desire to expand my knowledge on the role of the media in the stimulation of demand and sustenance of consumption. Should I be granted admission, my exposure to diverse commercial environments could also come in handy during classroom instruction -- mainly as I seek to link theory to practice. In addition to having worked as a receptionist in a hair salon,…
To tell you a little about myself, I am currently in my third year of instruction at the University of Sussex. I am undertaking a degree in Psychology.

From this module, I have learnt that through advertising and marketing, companies can effortlessly influence the decisions and choices made by the masses. Modules like these further stimulate my desire to expand my knowledge on the role of the media in the stimulation of demand and sustenance of consumption. Should I be granted admission, my exposure to diverse commercial environments could also come in handy during classroom instruction -- mainly as I seek to link theory to practice. In addition to having worked as a receptionist in a hair salon, I have also in the past had a brief stint at White Rose Laundries where I rose from a relatively junior role to a more responsible and demanding role of managing one of the entity's stores.
From your programme description, you point out that the main aim of the MSc programme "is to offer an advanced interdisciplinary education and training in contemporary theory and research in the field of media and communications and its application ...with a particular emphasis on low income country contexts." I have had an opportunity of working in low income settings -- mostly Pakistan, where I had volunteered to work at a hospital helping those who had been worst hit by the deadly 2008 earthquake. This exposure, I believe, will be of great relevance as I seek to relate with, understand, and integrate the programme's key concepts.
My key personal interests include, but they are not limited to; dancing, engaging in social work, listening to music, traveling, and reading developmental and media relations journals. I also like meeting new people and forging new friendships with those with whom we could engage in constructive debates.
Combined with my aptitude in biology, chemistry, and calculus, I resolved to return to school and get my nursing degree. I am about to embark upon a new chapter and a new experiment in my life, far more daring than any of the risks I took in my business career. However, I think there will be a great deal of cross-over of skills between my past and current profession. The
Personal Statement As a person who is concerned with the environment and has a background in information technology, applying for admission to a Masters of Science program at XXX University is one in a series of logical steps and choices in my personal and professional lives. As a student in MSEM program, I will utilize my professional knowledge and skills acquired from both my experience as a biomedical engineering student and
My work as a research assistant in a cognitive psychology lab added to my theoretical knowledge by giving me practical experience in encoding and analyzing data. This experience provided me with the opportunity to use analytical tests and interpret statistical data. Bookkeeping of participants' demographic information also further developed my organizational skills. Having been a research assistant, I have gained a reasonable understanding of research design and the statistics
For instance, as the Project Engineer for KUDU Corporate, I was responsible for completing such tasks as negotiating with vendors, achieving optimization, and planning the completion of projects. In doing this, I had to carefully consider not only the financial and material aspect of the projects, but also the social and personnel aspects of these various projects. Through this, I learned that the art of dealing with people plays
Personal Statement During my third year of my undergraduate studies in mathematics I was struggling to stay attentive to my required courses. Although I deeply enjoy mathematics and mathematics theory, I was finding that much of my academic time was being spent studying theories and abstract material. I also found that I couldn't discuss my work with many of my friends outside of my major because the topics were not relatable.
Insomuch, I have worked closely with customers on a myriad of issues to ensure their needs were met. Such concern for my constituents has transcended to an elevated level of service for individuals in the healthcare field. Additional Information for Consideration Although I may not be a traditional candidate, I have always worked hard to attain my goals. Regardless if goals seemed to be unreachable, I have always persevered in the
