Personal statement
As part of your application you need to submit a personal statement. It’s a great opportunity to tell us why you wish to apply and what you want to achieve. This article provides some useful tips on how to prepare your personal statement. There’s more information about this in the application form.

Curriculum vitae (CV) or résumé
We also ask that you supply an up-to-date CV, including your relevant professional experience, job titles, dates, etc. This document helps us to make sure you meet the entry requirements and have the right background for the course you wish to study.
