8. Personal statement
Please provide a personal statement that sets out your reasons for undertaking the
course. If you are applying for postgraduate study this is your opportunity to tell
selectors about your area of interest.
Desire, Vision & Dreams ..Our doubts are traitors, And make us lose the good we oft may
win By fearing to attempt." - William Shakespeare.The future probably belongs to people
who see possibilities before they become obvious. It belongs to those very travelers who
pierce through the clouds of oblivion with the force of their determination.I've always
believed that the answer to my destiny lies in creating the results that I desire. To tread
upon the hallowed grounds of a successful and fruitful career, I must determine the shape
that my actions will take, and trust in their finality. This, I am confident will lead me on to
the roads of my destiny.By the time I was doing intern ship in Publicis Pakistan, I realized
that the only thing I could do really well was write. Excellent expression way in English
helped me write many slogans,creative writing for print and electronic media., I am
confident enough to express myself in a language, which (although not my mother
tongue), is no longer alien to me.Starting with summer training at Paragon Pvt Ltd, an
advertising multinational firm, I can trace my fascination for Advertising and Public
Relations (PR) influence my interest in the same, which developed slowly and steadily into
a career option.During the latter half of my careers years, I was introduced to the dynamic
and metamorphic consumer market as well as the Advertising and PR scenario in Pakistan.
I realized the need to adapt my career angle to suit its ever-changing needs. For the same
reason, I took up a Masters program in Communication studies from ICS, University of the
Punjab, Lahore. During the later half of my graduation years, I was introduced to the
dynamic and metamorphic freelancer in advertising ,photography, design and editorial
fields . I've always been a strong communicator and people person. I also like a fast-paced,
high-energy environment so a career in media is just a natural path for me.Fuelled by the
desire to delve further into the field of media management, I took up graduate studies in
'tv Production ' at the ICS, University of the Punjab, Lahore.. I also attended many
workshops, including a well-recognized and reputed Nikon Camera workshop on
Photography and Videography conducted by the Camasita (Pakistan) to gain expertise in
the field of Photography.Introspecting today, I believe that my study in the field of
Communications Media' has provided me with a good base for further study in Public
Relations.A true picture of the corporate world and an exposure to the media environment
in Pakistan push me into thinking about the interaction between business houses and
professional advertising and public relations agencies for commercial success.Today, since
the need for corporate communication is inherent in the very nature of present day
industry and the government, the many 'publics' with their conflicting interests need to be
managed by professionals with result-oriented communication in different media.The
Pakistani PR scene is fast starting to resemble the PR scenario in the developed world.
There is a growing recognition of the need to co-relate the traditional outlook towards
public management with the systematic organization and execution of effective
communication programs to keep in lieu with present trends.Advertising agencies such as
Orient Mcckann ,Publicis ,red communications have specialized PR divisions to offer
diverse communication services to their clients. Over the years, several PR agencies have
also been set up in Pakistan. Many PR agencies such as Publicis,Orient Mcckann have
opted for tie-ups with foreign companies to globalize their operations, increasing the
demand for a wholesome communication package other than just advertising.To my mind,
a real career in Public Relations cannot be made until one studies it, not purely for its
academic appeal but in the hope that it will shed light on the best road ahead. Since the
excellence of corporate communications lies in its effectiveness, there is certainly a need
for academically trained professionals who are taught to be more strategic and
technologically competent.However, Public relations in Pakistan is only 25 years old and is
still struggling with a growing demand for its transition into a more professional and
desired discipline of business. Except for a few part-time study programs, offered by
median private institutions, there is very little development of PR as a separate and
specialized academic and practical field of study in Pakistan.Since the United kingdom is a
country known for its schools and advanced media systems, I find the need to train myself
in a specialized institute in the U.K- one that will consider my knowledge as a steppingstone to higher education, and help me expand my horizon. An advanced skill in
communication in close co-ordination with the roots of management is what I believe is
essentially something I will gain, when I acquire a master's degree in Public Relations.As I
browsed through the list of schools, I narrowed down a few selected ones according to
their course structures. Your university fulfils all my requirements of a well-designed
course: adequate facilities, broad curricula, flexible course structures and practical
training opportunities.I am aware that intensive study in a specialized field is a difficult
task to achieve and excel at. But I strongly believe that what we persist in doing becomes
easier for us to do; not because the nature of the thing has changed, but because the
power to do it has increased.I know where to direct the force of my will, to ensure that my
career doesn't lay within the ruins of indecisiveness. In this decision alone, I choose the
only path that shall lead me to certain success in your program.
