Advice on Personal Statements from Bournemouth University Staff

This is a video from the talk given by staff from the University of Bournemouth, it includes some excellent advice on what to include in a personal statement.

Welcome

Welcome to the Long Road Media Studies Courses and Career blog.

The intention behind this blog is to give Long Road media students access to information on the media specific courses and an insight into specific media related careers. These are not personal recommendations or supposed to imply that these are the best or only universities offering media, just those favoured by our students for a number of years.
Lastly, there really is no substitute for visiting a university, getting a feel for the place and making your own mind up because it is ultimately your decision and a very big one. This blog is merely designed to be a starting point for making an informed choice.
If you have any suggestions on how to improve the blog or specific universities you think should be included in forthcoming visit reports then do please feel free to get in touch.
