1. What are your reasons for applying for this postgraduate course Please refer to career and personal reasons as appropriate. Indicate how you intend to manage your studies with your other commitments.
I am very adamant about pursuing a Masters degree in the same area as my Bachelors degree. Combining my already strong volume of knowledge, encompassed from my digital art and design experience, with even more academic discipline and advanced technical expertise. For me, creative art has always been an obvious choice for my future career, having achieved my first degree and being able to accumulate both practical and theoretical experience as an art design student. I firmly believe, studying at Kingston University will serve me well in offering me a future in this field of design, and even help me make connections that would later provide useful by helping me enter the film industry in the future. Therefore, I am taking this opportunity and am applying for a spot in your course for full time study, having no other commitments. I am looking forward to face upcoming challenges, even more confident due to experience gained from life and education.
2. How will you benefit from a postgraduate course at this time
I wish to pursue a Masters Program in the design production team for Film and Television, thus improving and sharpening my technical skills along with my artistic skills. I consider this course to be the best choice to help me boost my career prospects. Becoming a masterful production designer on the set will give me competitive advantages and will augment with much more visual aesthetics onto the screen as a contributor to the production team. It has always been a dream of mine, working as a member on a movie set, and my chances of this happening will certainly increase dramatically if I have taken this course. My strong passion for film and desire for knowledge will surely help in my quest for practical experience.
3. How might this postgraduate course fit in with your career plan over the next 5 years
My ultimate career goal is becoming a conceptual designer in the film and animation industry. I will make great use of my professional skills and imagination, which I am sure will be a great asset for the industry, progressing greatly over time. This course will reflect my skills relating to cinematic art and associated studio design modules will expand my knowledge horizon even more. The investment will become evident in the coming semester.
