Personal Statement
A personal statement is required when applying to Irish universities. In it, students are tasked with writing about what they hope to do in the course, what they hope to do after the course and why they are applying.
Reference Letters
References are usually written by someone who knows you academically or professionally. Most references will talk about you from a teacher’s or supervisor’s perspective: how you interact with other students and your performance in classes and seminars.
Your reference does not have to be academic, but an academic reference is expected if you’re studying or have recently completed school or college. Choosing the right referee is crucial for your university application. Things to consider:
- Choose an appropriate referee
- Print on official company or university letterhead
- Explain the relationship between you and the referee
- Express confidence that you will complete the course
- Don’t forget the signature of the referee
