What do I include in my Personal Statement?<\/h2>\n\n- Your career aspirations<\/li>\n
- How you became interested in studying the\u00a0subject<\/a><\/li>\n
- What, if any, relevant work experience you have undertaken that is related to the\u00a0course<\/a> or subject<\/li>\n
- What aspects of your previous education you have found the most interesting<\/li>\n
- What attracted you to the particular\u00a0university<\/a><\/li>\n
- Other relevant academic interests and passions which display positive character and personality<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Genuine experiences of extra-curricular clubs, work experience or knowledge around a subject are much more likely to make your personal statement stand out, while admissions officers are also for looking for positive evidence of your character which will make you a productive member of the university<\/p>\n
How long should my Personal Statement be?<\/h2>\n
The length of a personal statement varies depending on the university, but generally the average length for an\u00a0undergraduate<\/a> application is between 400-600 words, around one side of A4 paper or a maximum of 47 lines. Certain\u00a0postgraduate programmes<\/a>\u00a0may require a 1000 word personal statement, but this will be clearly specified.<\/p>\nTry not to go over the given character limit as admissions officers have many personal statements to go through, and a clearly written and concise personal statement is more likely to stand out.<\/p>\n
What are common Personal Statement errors?<\/h2>\n\n- The personal statement is too short\/long<\/li>\n
- The personal statement does not include important information\/includes negative information<\/li>\n
- The personal statement has a confusing structure<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
It is also important to not lie about any aspect of your personal life and education history, or even exaggerate. Admissions officers will question you about almost all aspects of your application and\u00a0will be able to see through any lies.<\/p>\n
Personal Statement Tips<\/h2>\n\n- Express a passion for your\u00a0subject<\/a><\/li>\n
