Your Personal Statement should contain a number of paragraphs that link together in a logical, well-written style. In the first half you need to explain why you want to do the course, why you are well suited to it and what do you plan to do in the future.The second half should be about yourself and your interests.
Paragraph 1 - Reasons for applying:
Write about how you became interested in your chosen course - how long you have been interested in the subject matter and possibly how it relates to your career aspirations.The opening sentence: This should be interesting and if possible convey your enthusiasm or fascination with your chosen field. It needs to grab the attention of the Admissions Tutor. It might be easier to come back to this opening sentence once you have written the whole thing.
Paragraph 2 - Experiences that support your application:
· Draw on relevant experiences that you have had and which help you know that you will enjoy the course.
· Use evidence to support your points, e.g. have you studied the subject at AS/A2 level and what have you got out of your current studies; what aspects, topics, experiences have you liked/preferred; refer to books read, field trips, course attended, websites visited.
· Do your other subjects support your choice?
· Have hobbies or family played a role?
· Relating work experience, paid work, mentoring, job-shadowing etc to your application is absolutely crucial if you are applying for a vocational course. Explain what these placements showed you about the job and how they influenced your decision.
Paragraph 3 - Give them a flavour as to the kind of person you are:
· Write about your personal interests
Include examples of level reached, representative honours, interesting experiences.
· You should include details of any activities that you participated in, both inside and outside of School/College.
· You must make sure that your statement is coherent and logical. It will seem odd if you apply for a course or job that involves sport and yet do not include any sports among your spare-time activities.
· Any positions of responsibility you have held and what you might be interested in doing in the future, e.g. school council, scout leader, etc.
· Include anything that you have done that you are proud of, e.g. Ten Tors, public, speaking, marathon, etc.
Paragraph 4 - Conclude by stressing why they should take you?
· Conclude by stressing your qualities – those that will make an asset to the institution that you join – reliability, motivation, independence and ability to work on your own.
· Link to your future.
