Personal Statement for different courses
#2
this is what i think,

find the common element (or subject) of all the courses you are applying for...

it appears to me (although it is best to read through each of the individual course outlines, see what subjects are involved in the course etc) that the courses have the main common elements:
* culture,
* media
* sociology

I would probably write one either one or two interests in those subject areas (but no more than two) ... so for example you might express an interest in society and culture , talk about particular texts that has sparked your interest... or you might speak of media, perhaps something of interest in the media (such as media ethics) has sparked a facination for the subject etc etc

if i was to use an example.. my application is mostly for philosophy and theology courses with a couple single honours courses in philosophy... So my UCAS personal statement concentrated mostly on philosophy... though i did mention theology (but more in the context of how theology 'sparked' my interest in philosophy, since my interest in theology is self evident from the current degree course i am doing in australia.

but then again it is a personal statement so alot will depend on what courses are your preference etc (for example if the society/gender studies course is your 'last choice' then concentrate your PS on media or cultural studies)

anyway best of luck with getting that PS effective and concise Smile
