Application preparation

Start with the essentials

A strong application makes your preparation and motivation clear.

Collect transcripts, references and relevant work samples before drafting. Explain why the course fits your goals with specific examples.

Put it into practice

Use a checklist to track each document. Submit only through the verified application channel of the institution you choose.

Create a short working document for this activity. Record the decisions you make, the sources you consult and any questions that need an authoritative answer. Revisit the document after receiving feedback rather than treating the first version as final.
