Your Personal Statement Your Personal Statement is an important part of your UCAS application, it s your chance to distinguish yourself from other candidates. Universities are interviewing fewer students and rely heavily on Personal Statements. Therefore it s crucial your Personal Statement reflects your motivation and commitment, as well as showing your personality. Written correctly, it will help clarify the picture a university admissions tutor has of you and make them want to meet you or offer you a place! Writing your Personal Statement Writing a Personal statement is a key skill. There s no such thing as the perfect Personal Statement; it s unique to each applicant. Your Personal Statement should include your reasons for choosing the course and an outline of your knowledge and experience of the subject applied for. Universities routinely check for plagiarism, don t directly copy your statement from the internet. It s important your Personal Statement is always accurate and up to date. Top Tips: Do Show your tutor a draft copy first Be honest - you could be asked questions about your Personal Statement at an interview. Be positive - start with your strengths, focus on your enthusiasm for the course Keep on topic - demonstrate how you ve researched the course and why you re suitable for it Don t Overcomplicate - use simple words and clear sentences. Use cliches - Since I was a child, I ve always had a passion, it s been seen a hundred times before. Use inspirational quotes - universities want to know what you have to say, not somebody else Exaggerate what you ve done or achieved 61
