Do students know how to write a personal statement for UK university applications? Anyone applying to British universities knows the requirements of British universities.

Among all these application requirements, it is very important to have an application personal statement. It is also a material that allows reviewers to directly and clearly understand your academic experience. So how should you write it to deepen the reviewers’ impression and impression? Woolen cloth?

This is the question that everyone is most concerned about, so let’s take a look at a detailed introduction on how to write a personal statement for British university applications. I hope it will be helpful to you.

Of course, at the beginning of the paperwork, you have to explain your background!

Let admissions officers know at a glance why you are submitting your application. Simple and direct expression will make your application a clear stream among the many personal statements, saving the college admissions office a lot of time filtering out nonsense!

In just one or two paragraphs, friends should focus on solving the following two questions:

Why applied to this department: 

When did you first become interested in this subject? 

Has your understanding of the subject gradually deepened?

How do you stay interested in this topic? 

Has your interest in this subject affected your future or even career plans? 

Why do you want to study this subject at university?

Why study in the UK: Have you had a British education in the past?

If so, when and why, and did it have a direct impact on your college application choices?

If not, why choose a British university?

So, it is my friend who proves to the university that he is really tossing and turning, not thinking about food and drinks, cantilevering his buttocks, frying chicken and fried chicken, and wants to study in this department!

Me: Report to the university, I am not a giant of thought, but a dwarf of action! I’m down to earth!

University: Then prove it. 

So many people apply every year, why should I recruit you?

Me: That’s of course because – Academic: How did you accumulate knowledge during your time at school = How did the A-Level (A-level) subject you chose help you understand the subject?

How do you accumulate relevant knowledge after class = books you have read, movies you have watched, lectures you have listened to, and programs you have watched?

Do you usually read a lot of books and newspapers?

Are there any recent major events in the field you are applying for? 

Have you read the report’s analysis? How did these events inspire you?

Experience: (Of all your experiences to date, find the department that is most relevant!) Have you participated in any events or competitions? 

Are these activities directly related to the subject you are applying for? 

If so, what did you gain? If not, what special meaning does this activity have to you/how does it help you incorporate it into your paper?

Do you have any work or social experience (including monitor, school librarian, etc.)? 

If paid, is the purpose of your work related to your interest in the subject matter? 

What do you think you got the most from? 

Do you have any personal interests or special talents? How will these strengths help you/your future in college?

International students: Do you think your English skills are sufficient for UK university courses? 

Have you completed any English-only courses in the past? 

Is there any evidence that you have good adaptability and communication skills (joining a British high school debate team is a great example of fried chicken!)?

There is also some additional information about yourself, so please remember to include it!

Deferment of admission: 

Are there any gap year plans? 

If so, what do you plan to accomplish during the year? What have you done/prepared for college this past year?

Is there any interference from uncontrollable factors in AS that results in unsatisfactory results? Is there any evidence that would convince the university that your A2 estimate is correct?

This is indeed not discrimination against international students. But we have to use our excellent English expressions to prove that we are not weaker than local students! Is the standard of writing minutes still higher than that of British students?

The above is the specific situation of the personal statement for applying to British universities. It can be used as a reference for students who plan to go to the UK. I hope it will be helpful to everyone. Students who are preparing to go abroad can continue to pay attention to our latest information.
