      Hey Atousa, first I would like to say thanks for this video. I have watched many videos regarding motivational letters. And I would say that they were all good, but your video is much more informative. You explained it quite well. It really tells what should be included and how it should be included. I appreciate your effort. Thanks.

    The Tips:
    1. State your intention right at the start
    2. Adopt the "hourglass" structure (in the order of the questions given)
    3. Be sure to "talk up" the institute you're applying for
    4. State what you have learnt from your experiences
    5. Don't overuse "passion", "enthusiastic", or "interested"
    6. Don't sound like a "know it all"
    7. Be as Authentic and as Genuine as you can!

    HI Artousa, I just wanted to say thank you so much for your videos and sharing your experiences. Although this was made in 2017, all the information here is still relevant in 2021. I used this vid and your 'Reading my Master's Personal Statement' vid as guidance to write my personal statement for an MSc conversion course and received an offer from my first choice at a top ten university. Once again thank you for putting out such valuable content!

I just heard from the admissions office that I got in! I just wanted to thank you so much! If it was not for this video, I would not be able to write such a good personal statement. I am so grateful to you! I watch your videos in my free time, you are an amazing person. Thank you and keep doing amazing videos!😘😘😘😘

    I love this! I've rewritten my statement one too many times and felt that I was starting to lack clarity. This has helped a lot! I also think a useful question to add would be: What will the institution gain from having me there? (Include what unique perspectives you can bring to the course, particularly certain modules; maybe a sense of community that you could bring... etc)

    Could I just ask how many words you were allowed for your PS please 🤔🤞
    I did see, when I quickly looked, that you studied at and graduated from the UoB too (congrats), thats my Alma Mater as well (and my GP's and several of my old mentors). Its a small world💜
    Ive fond memories of the area and friends there as well💜✌️

    Hello! I am applying for masters courses for 2020 entry and stumbled across your videos as I prepare to start writing my personal statement! I'm applying to about 6 school, 3 are for Psychology (Conversion) Msc and others are Business Psychology, Psychology and Economic Behaviours. I suppose for each school I apply to the statement should differ as it should be specific to the school and course... wondering if you wrote 8 different statements? Or used a template then switched it up a little? Thank you in advance!
