## Personal statement
You'll have to provide a personal statement if you apply for a postgraduate taught course or research programme.
It's your chance to convey your motivation and enthusiasm for your chosen course and show your suitability for postgraduate study.
Your statement should include examples that draw on relevant work, voluntary or study experiences and illustrate your skills, for example:
- time management
- project management
- communication skills
- team working
- problem solving
### Successes and achievements
You should also cover your successes and achievements relevant to the course to show your aptitude for postgraduate study.
Outline why you have:
- chosen the course
- chosen Newcastle University
- how you will apply your current skills, knowledge and experience.
You may also consider showing how the course fits into your career plans and ambitions.
### Tips
- write your personal statement in a word processor before adding it to your application
- save at regular intervals
- ask a friend or family member to proof read it before you submit
See our [Careers Service website](https://www.ncl.ac.uk/careers/study/apply/#personalstatement)for more advice and useful tips on writing your postgraduate personal statement.

## Preparing to apply
The application preparation for MPhil, PhD, MLitt, MMus and MRes programmes varies considerably.
### Research supervisors
For some of our research programmes, you will be asked to find a research supervisor before submitting your application. However, other programmes do not require you to identify a supervisor.\
\
This information will be specified on the 'How to Apply' tab on your course page.
### Research proposal
Some programmes require you to provide a detailed research proposal when you apply. Alternatively, other programmes will ask you to supply a short (non-binding) research proposal to indicate your broad area of interest. There are also programmes that do not require any research proposal.\
\
This information will be specified on the 'How to Apply' tab on your course page.\
\
If you are applying for an advertised PhD studentship, please refer to the funding advert for guidance on your research proposal.

- you will fit into the organisation (values)
During the interview, your knowledge of the position and organisation will be explored, along with the skills and experience you have gained and whether these mean you would be able to do the job.
