Explain why you think you are a good candidate for the programme given your previous studies and the courses offered on the programme in both years.

Be precise when writing your supporting personal statement. • Do not repeat yourself and do not exceed the word limit. You should make sure that you address the following issues in your personal statement: • You should outline your motivation for choosing the CLMCE programme (i.e., how it complements and develops your previous studies; how it relates to your career path; how it relates to your personal and academic interests). • Explain why you think you are a good candidate for the programme given your previous studies and the courses offered on the programme in both years. • Briefly indicate what you see as being the topic of your year 2 dissertation (this can change later). • You should highlight your participation in conferences, internships, non-governmental organisations, summer schools, and other socially sensitive or political activity; as well as any prizes/awards received even if these activities are not specially connected to the area of children’s literature.Max 1200 words
