TMU Creative Industries optional statement
TMU's Creative Industries program describes an optional statement reviewed by its admissions committee for a reserved group of applicants. Its published guidance asks what makes the applicant a strong candidate beyond grades and welcomes creative activities, entrepreneurial work, and community involvement. The page still labels these instructions for Fall 2025, so it does not establish a Fall 2027 prompt or word limit.
Writing format
Optional statement about fit beyond grades, uploaded through ChooseTMU
What to prepare
- 1Choose one or two creative, entrepreneurial, or community experiences that reveal what you would bring to the program beyond your grades.
- 2Describe your actual contribution and what you learned, then connect it to a specific interest in Creative Industries.
- 3Keep the statement focused on evidence of fit instead of listing every activity already visible elsewhere in the application.
How to approach the writing
- Treat the statement as optional under the older published instructions, and check whether the current applicant portal still offers it.
- Use the current ChooseTMU upload field and limit if available; the public Fall 2025 page does not publish a word count.
Before you submit
The program page explicitly dates these statement instructions to Fall 2025. Confirm the Fall 2027 statement option, prompt, upload location, and deadline in your ChooseTMU applicant portal before writing or submitting it.
