CSS for Masters in Childhood APPLICATION

I wanted to have a deeper insight into child development that can only be obtained through advancing my childhood comprehension. So, I made the decision to pursue a Masters in Childhood Education. Formulating hypotheses, analyzing both qualitative and quantitative data and eventually discovering the mysteries of the child's brain, is what makes me tick.

Among many topics, I am primarily interested in the children's emotional development. The first 6 years of a child's life builds 90% of the brain and this comprises of components related to emotion. The aim is to make the 90% to the level of automaticity, in order to be able to support the balance 10% which starts developing at about 7 years old onwards; the cognitive section. I am encouraged to know that upon completion of this module, I will be able to demonstrate a critical understanding of childhood and youth as social constructions and children and young people as social actors. I believe, once the child has developed their positive self image, emotionally stable and has a successful relationship, academic achievement and general well being can be easily conquered.

Furthermore, I enjoy being exposed to new culture and people. I always heard beautiful things about United Kingdom, and eager to observe the British Education System which has a strong reputation worldwide with its broad and balanced curriculum. I have carefully researched the programs offered in the UK and University of Leeds is by far most well-suited to my purposes. Many of other top ranked universities only offer MA in Education but this university offers many interesting modules specialized in early years education. My choice of this university is motivated by the high academic standards and the potential of the faculty that can train me to become one of the best child educator in the world.

@Emb
You should basically highlight the hypothesis in the study plan and also you should mention any important literature or previous research conducted on this topic. What are the gaps you found out? And how you plan to fill it. You should remember in study plan you need to only focus on the academic excellence of your Choice of the University. You need to demonstrate how the University's research modules help you to achieve your goals(be specific). Your other interests on exploring new cultures can be written the other parts of the application I guess.

You should hurry up in submitting the application as the CSC server is already down from yesterday. All the best.

Embun, your response is off target. If you review the website in relation to your masters degree course choice, you will find a short version of the course curriculum that describes the courses that you will be taking in relation to what you will be learning. These information can help you describe what key features of a particular course will interest you. Your interest in these particular courses should tie in with a particular aspect of child education that you are interested in learning more about. By writing a new essay that aligns itself with the prompt questions you will have a more appropriate response created. The current essay that you are presenting sounds more like a research paper than an explanation as to how particular subjects in the masters course will help you improve in the performance of your job.
