Good vs weak usage

  • Stronger: The paragraph links a methods module to the applicant's project gap and dissertation plan.
  • Weaker: The paragraph says the programme is excellent and internationally recognised.

How should I use this term when preparing my application?

Use it as a check on whether your profile, programme choice, materials, and interview answers support the same admissions story.
