Statement Of Purpose
Your Statement of Purpose should describe your relevant academic and professional experience and accomplishments, your future professional goals and interests, why you are drawn to the MDes program, and why you believe the MDes would be a good fit for you and your goals.
In particular, the Statement of Purpose should address the question: “What do you want to contribute to the field of design during your time at Berkeley and after?” In answering this, describe how Berkeley will contribute to these goals, and how your experiences and accomplishments thus far will support your aspirations.
There is no specific word limit specified for the Statement of Purpose, but we echo the Graduate Division’s advice on essay length: “An ideal essay should say everything it needs to with brevity. Approximately 500 to 1000 well-selected words (1-2 single space pages in 12 point font) is better than more words with less clarity and poor organization.”
For additional guidance, please see the Graduate Division’s Writing the Statement of Purpose page.
Personal Statement
The Personal Statement provides an opportunity for the admissions committee to get to know you better on a personal level. Content should not duplicate what has been shared in the Statement of Purpose.
In particular, your personal statement should answer the question “What do the other documents in your application do not fully capture about you?” These “other documents” would include items such as your portfolio, your CV, and your academic transcript. You might describe how your personal background and experiences have influenced your decision to pursue graduate studies and/or any relevant information on the following topics that you wish to share with the admissions committee:
Defining experiences or challenges that have contributed to your development, your values, etc.
How you have overcome barriers to access higher education
How you have come to understand the barriers faced by others
Your academic service to advance equitable access to high education for women, racial minorities, and individuals from other groups that have been historically underrepresented in higher education
Your research focusing on underserved populations or related issues of inequality
Your leadership among such groups
There is no specific word limit specified for the Personal Statement, but we echo the Graduate Division’s advice on essay length: “An ideal essay should say everything it needs to with brevity. Approximately 500 to 1000 well-selected words (1-2 single space pages in 12 point font) is better than more words with less clarity and poor organization.”
