A statement of intent (also known as a plan of study or letter of intent) should detail your study and/or research interests, career goals, and reasons for seeking admission.
It’s helpful to begin with a list of four or five key words or phrases that relate to your proposed study. You may also wish to identify the faculty members with whom you are interested in working.
The length of a statement of intent can vary, but generally it should be 1000 – 1500 words. If you are applying to more than one program, it is helpful to clearly identify sections within your statement that are specifically adapted for/directed to each program.
