How to write a motivational letter to uk universities

10.01.2020

When entering a university in the UK, you need to prepare a quality motivational letter.
In English it is called Motivation Letter, however, it is more common to use the term Personal Statement.

Work on this important document begins with English students a couple of years before the date of admission to the university. Graduates of the best English private schools get the skills of writing such letters within the standard curriculum, but foreign students have to understand the intricacies of British education themselves.

Consider working on a motivational letter from the point of view of professionals who decide to enroll in British universities. Consultants at Mercury Education, London, regularly communicate with members of the admissions committees and receive valuable first-hand information.

We hope that our advice will help in the realization of your dream to go to study in the UK.

Each Personal Statement should contain a number of standard items for any specialty.
A story about the personal qualities of the candidate, academic successes, strengths, moments that require improvement.
The story of what led to the decision to study in the chosen direction, showing achievements, skills, knowledge, involvement in the future profession, plans for further self-improvement.
Description of the goals that are planned to be achieved after receiving the coveted diploma at the chosen university.
By volume it is desirable to fit your thoughts and arguments into a couple of standard pages. Shortness is the sister of talent, and the ability to succinctly present important information is definitely appreciated when making a decision.

All information is desirable to submit in such a way that there is a consistent development in the personal and professional fields.
Based on the letter, the reader will try to draw key conclusions about the candidate who plans to get a diploma, learn about it, which is not obvious from the dry figures of exam scans and tests. So it is important to be yourself and show your sincerity – it will definitely be appreciated.

There are generally accepted British standards for personal Statment.
Grammar should be at the highest level. It is assumed that the student is working diligently on his letter and checks carefully for possible errors, even if he is not a native English speaker.
Breaking down into convenient, well-read, logical blocks of text is a prerequisite for admission to the UK’s leading universities.
The introductory part of the letter should push the transition to the main, informational part. It is necessary to think very seriously, than to “catch” the attention of the reader. There are no standard tips, everyone should decide for themselves what he can surprise. Reasonable provocations and subtle humour are welcome, but within the framework of generally accepted British norms.
The final part should sum up and finally convince in the vital necessity of your admission to this particular university. Ideally, emotions and facts in conclusion will not leave a chance to reject the future student.
What should you avoid when writing a motivational letter?
It is necessary to avoid first of all standard phrases, templates and general words that do not carry the information load and in any case not to express radical and even direct views on the topics of religion, politics and intersex relations. It is extremely difficult for the British to perceive statements “head-on” in principle, and even on these topics and even more so. Remember that the text will be read by a living person, with his beliefs and traditions of communication.

Compiling a motivational letter when entering an English university process is complex, long, responsible, but at the same time exciting and exciting – many learn a lot about themselves, find internal motives for making a decision about the future profession, look at themselves from an unusual angle. This in the end allows you to see clearly the goal to go, despite the difficulties and obstacles.

For anyone who is going to go to study in the UK just needs to explain three important points to the admissions committee.
