Personnal Statement for University of Melbourne


qaral 1-3 Edited by: Moderator  Sep 8, 09, 06:46am  #
Please advice me on the following

A university education is one of the most important goals in the life of an individual in the twenty first century, this is because of the opportunities it endows on one with respect to one's livelihood as well as the highly competitive world of the job market. Employers are looking not just fort technical skills and knowledge of a degree discipline but rather they particularly value skills such as communication, team working, objectivity, problem solving as well as effective time management. All of these are mainly part of what one will gain in the process of studying for a university degree.

All of these are mainly part of what one will gain in the process of studying for a university degree.

A degree in Finance from the University of Melbourne will equip me with all of the aforementioned advantages and elevate my status in the society.
^No. The degree itself can not give you those advantages. Degrees typically offer an improved knowledge base in an academic discipline. I fail to see how your status can be elevated in society, and why that even matters to you.

Coming from a third world country where majority of the people subsist on less than two dollars daily, it has been very difficult for people to get a sound education as the educational sector is crippled by strike and inadequate funding of the higher institutions by the Federal Government.
^How is this relevant to you? Apart from the first clause, nothing really is...

In today's world of modern technology, studying at the University of Melbourne will provide me with the prerequisite needed in the highly competitive world of professionals.
^What is the 'prerequisite'.


I shall have gained an improved information handling skill such as researching, analyzing and presentation.
^
Not parallel. How can these attributes improve?

I would also have been required to take seasoned perspective on numerous topics while taking into account others' perspectives. My ability to communicate, manage time effectively, meet deadlines, juggles commitments and work with cross borders will be enhanced.
^Again, how?

All of which are valuable assets to have in the workplace where roles and relationships are often complex.
The reason to choose Master of Commerce Finance is that the above mentioned points are the very objective of the design of this course. The courses offered by the this program which are related to Econometrics, International Business Finance, Financial Institutions Management (this is a very import subject in view of recent collapse of financial institutes across the globe) and Advanced Derivative Securities will give me an edge in my home country where these subjects are virtually non existent and will enable me take a lead role in the upcoming and emerging financial market of my country.


*Look, your personal statement is way too vague.
You show no interest in the subject it is you want to study, and you show no interest as to why you would want to study that subject at te University of Melbourne.
Your essay needs a lot of improvement. A lot.

People of Melbourne are full of life that welcome people from around the world and respect the freedom of the individual, beliefs and opinion. The weather of the city is more or less like my home country so I will feel "at home" while in Melbourne.

None of this is necessary. They know very well what individuals in the 21st century need. The subject of this essay is you. The purpose of the introduction is to introduce you. You do not appear here at all except peripherally and presumably as among the billions of people now alive in the 21st century.

Next, you go on to tell them what courses they offer. They can read the course catalog and, indeed, don't need to do so since they devised the curricula. Nor do they need you to tell them about the awards they have won. The subject of the essay is supposed to be you.

Start over.

Choose a quality or set of qualities that you want the admissions officer to know about you. Decide what experiences you have had that show these qualities. Write up anecdotes about these experiences and write a new essay centered around them.
