boomah Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 (edited) Hi everyone! I'm applying for a Master's in English and had some questions about the Statement of Intent. 1- I understand that for PhD SOPs, they'd like a detailed proposal. Is it the same with MA statements? I don't have anything specfic planned out yet! 2- The MA program is mostly coursework, with a thesis at the end. So would it make sense to talk a lot about my specific area of interest? Or should I talk about literature in general? 3- Should an MA applicant point out potential advisers (even though it's just a 2 year program w/ mostly coursework)? If so, should I contact them first? That's it for now... I may have some more later. Thanks in advance! Edited December 11, 2013 by boomah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flandre Scarlet Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Hi, I don't know much about SoPs for MAs, but I'll tell you what I think. 1) At the least, see if you can say something specific you want out of the MA program. Maybe something like "I want to deepen my knowledge in ... " 2) You should definitely discuss your area of interest. 3) Sure, if their work interests you. Not sure if you should contact them.
