Focus on the statement of intent and/or resume
Candidates' academic and professional goals should be clearly identified in their statement of intent or resume. While some Master's programs will ask for one or the other, and some will require both, these two documents are an opportunity to provide clear and appropriate goals that can be reached via the completion of this Master's degree. Some programs would prefer to see several years of work or research experience in a related field, while others are willing to consider applicants from many different professional backgrounds as long as the qualifications are present. The statement of intent and resume are perfect opportunities to clarify goals and qualifications for the selection committee.
