Take your time to compose your personal statement. Be yourself.
The best personal statements are based on the applicant’s own honest reflections about their plans and the way to get there. You may need to make more than one draft before submitting your final statement.
The question is really asking, “based on what you know about the course, why do you want to do the MSc and what do you hope to 'take away' from it that will support your future career plans?”.
Please evidence how your studying at Imperial will increase the diversity within the student body and/or how you fall within an under represented group. See Office for Student webpage for guidance on 'under represented groups'.
