Masters personal statement review for economics, finance and business

A Masters personal statement is read by academics deciding whether you can handle a demanding, often quantitative, one-year course. Econ Coaching edits MSc and Masters statements for economics, finance and business courses, and every edit is made by a Cambridge Economics graduate.

Courses we review

Economics, Financial Economics, Development Economics, Finance, Financial Engineering, Wealth and Asset Management, Accounting and Finance, Management, International Management, Business Analytics and Public Policy.

What a strong Masters statement does

  1. Shows you are ready for the course. Name the modules, grades and methods (econometrics, statistics, programming) that prepare you. Admissions tutors look for evidence, not claims.
  2. Explains why this course. Refer to specific modules, research groups or teaching that match your interests. A statement that would fit any university reads as one.
  3. Uses experience as evidence. Work, internships or research count when you say what you did and what it taught you about the subject.
  4. Ends with a credible plan. Say where the course leads, in a sentence or two.
  5. Fits the limit. Universities set their own word or character limits. Check each one; many are shorter than undergraduate applicants expect.

Common problems we fix

  • Opening with a quotation or a childhood story instead of the subject.
  • Listing experience without saying what it shows.
  • Vague interest (“I have always been fascinated by finance”) with no specific question or example.
  • No mention of quantitative preparation for a quantitative course.
  • Writing that sounds generated, which experienced readers notice quickly.

Questions people ask

Do you review statements of purpose as well as personal statements?

Yes, for the courses listed above. A statement of purpose and a Masters personal statement do the same job; follow the length and prompts each university sets.

Do you review PhD proposals or MBA essays?

No. We review undergraduate and Masters statements for economics, finance, business and related courses.

Who edits my statement?

Every edit is made by a Cambridge Economics graduate.

How much does a postgraduate review cost?

Postgraduate prices are shown on the booking page when you choose the “Postgraduate statement” option.
