A good personal statement should:
• Provide the admissions tutor with relevant background information about you.
• Reflect the distinctive style and characteristics of its author – admissions tutors are not seeking to admit clones.
• Explain why you have chosen that particular subject and supply concrete evidence of your enthusiasm for it.
• Show that you are positive and motivated.
• Include some reference to your future plans or careers aspirations. This is important if you are applying for a vocational course, but don’t worry if you aren’t sure what you want to do when you leave university.
• Be written in clear and concise English.
