PERSONAL STATEMENTS
WHAT IS A PERSONAL STATEMENT?
When you apply to a University or College, the person who receives your application would most probably have never met you and so a personal statement is like an essay or a motivation letter where you introduce yourself, specify why you wish to study a particular course, what qualities you have that make you eligible for the course, your hobbies and your future career plans
This is especially important if you are applying for a course which is highly competitive. In a situation where all applicants have excellent grades, it is the personal statement that would help the admission officer decide who to make an offer to
Your personal statement is therefore one of the most important sections of your aplication so you need to spend some time working on it
WHO NEEDS A PERSONAL STATEMENT?
Most Universities and some Colleges will ask for a personal statement. The length and content required may vary accross institutions. It will normally be mentioned in the application form whether a personal statement is required
If you are applying to UK Universities via UCAS, then you definitely need a personal statement
