What you have learned about applying for next steps and what your thoughts an opinions on different ways of communication are.(1000 word limit)
Applying to next steps has definitely been a valuable experience for me, as I’ve had to consider what I genuinely enjoy and what’s important to me and navigate that in a way that is realistic, and what I think will benefit me the most- even when I don’t know what that is. I have considered many options of what I’m going to be doing in the next few years, since I didn’t enjoy the course as much as I hoped and right now I really cant see myself in a career to do with games or digital art. This is when I’ve had to communicate the most and talk to different people in what they recommend, and taking different opportunities to see what could possibly stick long term. This process can feel quite unstable especially with e-mails and digital applications, they feel quite frustrating to rely on.
Personal statement
Why do you want to study this course or subject?
I want to study dental technology because it combines precision and creativity in a really unique way that I find extremely interesting. I am particularly drawn to the technical and artistic skill needed to succeed in a career in this field, and creating something that will have a lasting impact on peoples lives. Dental Technology appeals to me as a reliable profession with clear progression, including hands on work and attention to detail. I am motivated by the responsibility of contributing to the patients care.
How have your qualifications and studies helped you to prepare for this course or subject?
Through my Level 3 qualification in Games, Animation and VFX, I gained many valuable technical and creative skill. I especially appreciate my new found knowledge in 3D modelling and working in a digital space. I also learned that although similar to my interests, this path wasn’t for me and I couldn’t see myself there long- term. However, I value the resilience and discipline I gained from persevering and completing the full duration of the course.
What else have you done to prepare outside of education, and why are these experiences useful?
Outside of formal education, I enjoy developing my skill in painting, oil painting specifically. This has strengthened my patience and attention to detail. Portraiture is my chosen focus, as I enjoy the knowledge of anatomy being a vital part of creating a harmonious, thoughtful piece. Being interested in fine art has made me more sensitized to subtle textures, colour matching and values, all of which I will be able to transfer in a career in dental technology where aesthetic accuracy is essential.
