Sample First Paragraphs for a Graduate School Master's Degree in Architecture

 

I was awarded a 1:1 degree in Architectural Technology in 2012 and have been employed since graduation as an Inspection Engineer at the King Abdulaziz International Airport. I now wish to acquire the additional skills and knowledge to enable me to pursue career advancement and, ultimately, a Ph.D. and the combined roles of consultant, researcher, and teacher. I have loved art since as far back as I can recall but have also always been fascinated by the way things work and how they might be improved. Consequently, Architecture’s blend of engineering and aesthetics was a natural choice and I find it very fulfilling. My goal is to create utility and beauty using the best of classical design with the best of modern materials.

XXXX University in Australia is my first choice for graduate school because I see it as the forefront in design and representative of the many wonderful things that Australia stands for, as a leader and innovator in development world-wide, but especially in our part of the world, the South Pacific. I earned my BS in Architectural Studies at XXXX University in Australia, graduating in December of 2016. Returning to Australia for graduate school at XXXX would provide me with the optimal springboard to pursue and continue to build my career as an international architect with a broad experience base covering the best in architecture from Sydney to Hong Kong, my home.

I hope very much to be accepted to your distinguished MDes Program in Design at XXXX University because I see it as the most unique and finest program of its kind in the world and I feel like I would be an especially good fit for your program. I feel strongly that my undergraduate studies in architecture while still a student in my native India, along with the Master’s Degree that I earned in 2012 in Urban Planning, will inspire me to important contributions to class discussions at XXXX University, especially when we are on the topic of designing cities.

I like to think that I distinguish myself among students of Architecture with respect to my language skills coupled to my embrace and celebration of diversity. Since I am from Hong Kong, my native language is Cantonese, but I am fully trilingual because I began studying both English and Mandarin Chinese in primary school. Most importantly for my English, I completed a total of six years of study and finished high school in New Zealand. I also took part in a half-year exchange program with Korea where I learned basic communication and reading skills in that language as well. I have visited both the US and Taiwan and went to Japan for several weeks as part of a Tokyo study trip with schoolmates in Architecture along with our professors.
