Art students who want to study in the UK should all know that when we apply to the UK University of Arts, the school will require art students to provide documents for studying in the UK. We often say that application documents include: personal statement, resume and recommendation letter. Good application documents can add color to your application and break through successfully. However, many art students' application documents are difficult to make the admissions officer see clearly. Why on earth?

　 1. Little understanding of the applied foreign art colleges and fields.

Many students just envy foreign famous schools, but because they are lazy or do not find a suitable way to learn more about the development of this school, foreign art colleges pay more attention to what students are, and the current situation of the major and field they want to apply for. I don't know much about each other, and the documents I wrote are also soulless.

　 2. List the achievements blindly.

Excellent grades and many certificates can really prove your previous or current learning ability, but first, there are already scores on the transcript, and you can choose one or two especially important certificates; Second, it is important to write down your own research ability, list your own research experience, or win awards, or gain any ability improvement.

　 3. The language is obscure and difficult to understand.

Many art students want to prove their English ability and impress the admissions officer, so they try their best to carve their articles. Although some words or sentences are professional, they are rarely used by students. When they are used in a specific context, they may not be appropriate, and some will have the opposite effect. The language is better to be slightly professional, but it is real, natural and friendly to read.

　　 4. The article is strange.

If you don't have strong writing skills, you'd better use a simple structure - self introduction - why you like this major - academic achievements - scientific research experience - social activities - interest in and future plans for the school application. Some art students use flashbacks, interludes and other ways, but they do not write well due to their level. Some students died because the content was too strange.

　　 5. Not in conformity with the educational life of the applied country 。

Education at home and abroad is different. Sometimes the experience and scientific research of art students abroad do not match their academic level. For example, some students have worked as teaching assistants when they were undergraduates, while in the eyes of foreign instructors, the most important thing for undergraduate art students to apply for studying abroad is to take classes. Therefore, special circumstances should also be explained when writing.
