Writing A Personal Statement What to Write In a Personal Statement Document?
WHAT IS A PERSONAL STATEMENT? A personal statement supports your application to study at a university or college. It’s a chance for you to articulate why you’d like to study a particular course or subject, and what skills and experience you possess that show your passion for your chosen field.
What to write about? IMPORTANT FACTORS You’re telling admissions staff why you’re suitable to study at their university or college. It’s important to remember you can only write one personal statement – it’s the same for each course you apply for. So, avoid mentioning any universities or colleges by name. If you’ve chosen similar subjects, talk about the subject in general, and try not to mention course titles. If you’ve chosen a variety of subjects, just write about common themes, like problem solving or creativity.
Personal Circumstances If any personal circumstances have affected your educational performance, outline them in your statement. For example, this might be something that caused you to miss school - such as a physical or mental health condition or caring for a family member. If your circumstances have affected your qualification choices, you can mention this in your statement. For example, a change of school that did not offer the same options, or having gained non-different qualifications, skills, and experience to many other people (e.g., through the Armed Forces). If you have suffered financial hardship during your studies (e.g., received a bursary to cover your education costs), you can let the university know about that here.
