• what motivates you, any barriers you have experienced to your education and how you have overcome them
• any other achievements you feel are relevant to your chosen course
• how your study at Edge Hill University would help your future career plans

• your professional experience to date and your career aspirations, including your intentions after graduation

• Have received a conditional or unconditional offer to study a postgraduate taught programme at Edge Hill University for September 2026 entry.
• Hold a bachelor's degree equivalent to a 2:1 or higher.

• Be a self-funded student.
