Useful Information

A personal statement can help you stand out! Writing a good personal statement is often the only way you can express your personality and say, “choose me!”.

When writing a personal statement, you should use a formal tone, stay relevant and be positive.

A typical personal statement:

• Contains about 700 words
• Is judged on content

Your persona statement should include:

1. Introduction

   In the introduction, you need to mention why are you applying, your ambitions and what interests you about the subject you intend to spend about 4 years researching about.

2. For initernational students

   it is very attractive to include the reason behind your decision of studying in the UK and becoming an international student.

3. Summary of your expertise, skills, achievements and abilities

   Here you should talk about your academic expertise and background, the extracurricular activities and courses that you did before and what are the benefits that you gained from doing them that are relevant to your program that you intend to apply for. Try not to list your achievements: you need to evaluate them.

4. Conclusion

   Use your conclusion to reinforce your commitment to the course you have chosen. Keeping this short and concise is better than long and vague.
