英国大学申请个人陈述案例

个人陈述主要是对自己学术经历的陈述，是申请留学时“自我推销”的最好方式，学生可以借此机会让招生人员对自己的综合能力有一个更生动深刻的了解。不同学校的不同专业对于个人陈述的写作要求都稍有不同，但一般来讲，个人陈述总体可以分为以下三个部分：

1、对所申请专业领域整体上的认识和把握，强调自己的申请这个专业的动机，今后的发展放向和职业规划。比如，现在很多同学都想学商科，但是，如何才能在众多的申请人中脱颖而出，就要看非常个人化的个人动机以及未来职业发展规划。有的同学因为家庭影响学商科，有的同学因为个人兴趣学商科，也有同学因为朋友介绍或老师推荐而学商科，而对于毕业后的规划，可能有的人想自己创业，有的人想去跨国公司打工，也可能有的人想以商科作为跳板转行，或继续学术研究。总之，只要言之有理，让学校看到一个鲜活的你，留下一个深刻的印象，第一目的就达到了。

2、所申请学校如何适合自己：有对这一专业积极的学习热情，自己对学校的了解、包括学校的条件、教授做的工作等。有独立自主的学习能力。比如，有同学想学艺术，那么自己从小到大都有过怎样的艺术相关经历，是参加过哪些艺术活动，还是发表过哪些艺术作品，认识哪些业内人物等等，所申请的学校的艺术课程设置是怎样的，都有哪些名教授，将来会对自己的学习有怎样的帮助，为自己提供怎样的机会等等。对这些问题的陈述，同时也可以证明学生自身的自主研究和学习能力，一举两得。

3、自己如何适合要申请的学校：自己如何优秀、有何研究经历、有何论文以及成绩，个人学术成就，考试成绩，竞赛获奖情况等，如何可以顺利完成学业，实现职业理想，对国家的发展做出自己的贡献。比如，这一部分就是自卖自夸的部分了，但也要有度，不要太吹牛，本着真实性原则，把自己的主要成就说一下，证明自己对学校会是一个有价值的学生，将来会有潜力回报学校。学校也都爱才，只要你能证明自己是优秀的，学校都会挣着抢着录取你的。

以上是个人陈述的主要内容和框架，长度一般一到两页A4纸，再长的话，除非你的文采非常出众，否则招生人员也不会耐着性子看。

国内学生申请赴英国留学，申请文书方面不容忽视，尤其是个人陈述的写作，大家想写好PS，素材准备很重要，那大家知道应该准备哪些素材吗?同学们可以根据以下方面取材：

一、申请动机 专业志向

PS开头一定要强调自己的亮点，写些老外有概念的东西;如果你的学业真的非常优秀，可以用一句话带过;然后写自己的申请目的和动机，你也可以为了迎合老外的想法而写自己的申请事项，但是一定要结合实际情况;千万不能抄袭别人的PS。

二、儿童时代 家庭环境

申请者可根据自己的家庭、父母以及自身独特的地方来写，突出别人没有的方面;如果自己的儿童时代没有独特的地方，你可以换种角度来写，或许就变成了一种优势，比如儿童时代喜欢折纸、制作模型等，这些就可以突出你的天赋和创造能力;或者自己的家庭特殊，也可以彰显你的独立和自主能力。

三、学校学习

很多申请者一张口就是自己TOP多少多少或者成绩如何如何，那又怎样呢，老外根本不关心这些，学习能力才是最重要的，比如学生汲取知识的能力、另辟蹊径的创造力等;如果你是刚毕业的学生，学业成绩不一定要写进去，有进步的成绩可以写，太空虚或者不实际的就不要浪费纸张了。

四、课外活动

如果申请者成绩不是很好，可以用课外活动的成绩来弥补，不是课外活动本身的成就，而是通过课外活动，你的人性、本质和品格的体现，挖掘自己最闪光的地方。

五、科研教学

对于工科学生而言，学校的实验成就很重要;不同的专业，完全不同的写法，但要体现自己的专业性，不要copy别人的，自己要了解所申专业注重的地方。

六、社会实践 工作成就

除非你的工作成就如莫言一般，那可以放进去，工作业绩要有明确的证明，但个人在社会实践中体现的品格最重要，如团队、分享、协助精神等。品格方面，也可以写自己不经意间帮助了别人，保护环境、节约水电、慈善等。

七、学习计划 今后目标

出国以后的学习计划和目标，一定实事求是，说出自己出国的动机、目的，千万不可有移民倾向哦，还有出国以后通过什么实现自己的梦想等。

最后总结部分，你要知道没有完美的PS，有能力的话，可以以一种散文的形式表述自己的一切，好的PS都是不一样的。个人陈述字数要求在800-1200之间就可以了。

在书写个人陈述的过程中，以下几个重要的原则同学们必须要注意遵循：

内容重要过形式。不管形式如何，内容一定要翔实具体;不要为了追求形式而轻视内容。面试的时候，你的个人陈述是讨论的重点，根据个人陈述问到兴趣爱好及个人经历等所以一定要实话实说，不然到时候面试问题答不上来或者前言不搭后语，情况就不妙了。所以，一定要在真实的基础上突出自己的优势。一定要做到真实。

以兴趣、动机、能力，证明潜力，不要唯成就论，通篇都是以前的成果。这样的文章写出来，让别人看了只能觉得你自高自大，不够谦逊。

突出学习能力，可以在以后碰到新的问题时迅速学习、超越，并且有能力去做现在还不懂的东西。大学看中的其实是学生的学习能力和潜力，毕竟大学3年，变数还是很大的，重要的还是要具有很强的自主学习能力和成功的潜力，这样将来脱颖而出成为人才，为学校贴金的几率就比较大。

不要千篇一律，不要随意使用人家的个人陈述，不要随时使用样本(可以想象100人写的个人陈述都类似，在大学的人看来会怎样!)。另外，申请多所大学的话，一定要针对不同学校的不同特点做相应改动，想想大学招生的人看几百份几千份的申请文书，没有亮点非常general的文书只会被扔到垃圾堆。

【小编总结】这样看来，个人陈述是不是也没什么难的呀，只要内容真实，言之有理，包含了以上提到的内容，给招生人员真是鲜活的展现了一个优秀的你，那么申请一定会马到成功!

1、一个真正属于你自己的故事。

每个人都是不一样的。所以，一个属于你自己的故事就可以是一个你的PS。由一个故事，写一下发生这个故事的感受，洞察力，通过这些就可以很好的展示你的内驱力和价值观，再升华到自己想要申请的这个学科。一个吸引人眼球的好故事，就是一个好的PS。

2、分享自己的看法和观点。

听过最残酷的一句话是‘你冷场只是因为你知识面不够’。是的，在准备写PS之前，广泛的阅读，平时的积累是很重要的。这样才可以在触及任何一个话题的时候，你才可以‘有话说’。这样任何的一个点，加上你建立在广泛阅读的基础上，你都可以有自己的一个批判性观点。这样丰富的PS，审核老师自然会喜欢你的PS啦。

3、把握学科周边的新闻事实。

关注你将要学习的新闻事实可以让你对自己想要学习的学有更深刻的解读。这样你的PS也必然是一个术业有专攻的有深度的有前瞻性的文书了。

4、展现你的个人魅力，用自己的语言说话。

什么是你的兴趣爱好呢。你在什么方便是很擅长的呢。你有做过只有少数人做过的事情么?这些都能够让你显得不同。比如：独立一个人去旅行;读一本很冷门的书。这些就是你的个人魅力。最后，所谓‘文如其人’，用自己的语言说话，不要故意使用大词长句，这会让文章显得生硬，也会让招生官怀疑这是照抄模板的结果，而不是发自内心自己的表达。很多机构会展示文书样本时强调用词的讲究，文法的严谨或结构的完整等等。殊不知真正高水平的文书总是在做减法，用词精炼拒绝冗长，少用复合句，字字珠玑，引经据典，用老外认可的方式来表达，这才是有竞争力的文书。

5、让你申请的院校看出你的真爱。 

留学申请正如相亲，短短几分钟的寒暄如何让对方感到你的真爱，是一个好的留学文书必须达到的条件。因此文书中必须有相当篇幅介绍下自己选择这所大学的原因，切忌写你们排名高，诺贝尔奖得的多等等每个学生都会写的套话，每天关注学校网站，了解学校新闻，科研动态甚至文体活动等等，言之有物的说出你真爱的理由，自然会打动校方。

Business and Management Personal Statement

I come from a background wher my family has been in the retail trade for the last hundred years. Whist I was growing up I have been actively taking part in the running of the business. My family has given me the opportunity to further myself in achieving my goals. I believe studying at university will give me the opportunity to progress in the understanding I currently have in Business Studies and ICT. I believe that I can combine my interest in Business Studies and Accounts to excel in Business Management

At my secondary school I was handed the privilege and the responsibility of being head prefect. My responsibilities included attending meetings with the school principal and school staff. I believe these installed essential characteristics such as leadership

I was also the school football captain and represented the school at many inter-schools sports activities. Furthermore I represented the Wildlife Conservation Society of Zambia, which is a charitable organisationfor the protection of wildlife in Zambian Game Parks. Part of my duties included giving talks to other students concerning conservation and wildlife. I thoroughly enjoyed this particular segment of my work because conservation is an issue close to my heart

I am presently enrolled at Redbridge College in Romford wher I am studying three A2 courses in Mathematics, ICT and Business Studies, and one AS-Level in Accounts. I do take part in several sports activities not only to remain in good physical shape but also meet new people. I did not achieve all my targets but I am confident that with extra effort and help from my tutors I will push past my predicted grades. I have drawn up a plan of what needs to be done over the next few months in achieving this. Over the last year I have developed at a personnel level. I understand that the onus is on me to push myself to achieve my ambitions

Outside of college I have a passion for sports both for enjoyment purposes and maintaining fitness. Football is at the centre of my love for sport, but I also enjoy and participate in other sporting activities such as cricket, squash, badminton, tennis, table tennis and long distance running. I am hoping to carry on these activities whilst conducting my studies at university. I believe sports play an important role in providing a balance between education and physical wellbeing

It has long been my ambition to complete my studies at a British university. As it is well established Britain has the finest reputation for higher education around the world. A degree from a British university will assist me in my future career. I am very much looking forward to educational challenges that university has in store for me. I am also looking forward to meeting the different cultures and backgrounds that will exist of any university. But most importantly I believe I have the prerequisites not only to achieve a good degree but to progress at a personal level. This would act as a foundation for any future success in the business world.

Maths and computing personal statement

The study of mathematical sciences has intrigued me for many years. The decision to study A levels in both Maths and Physics stemmed from a high interest level and strong aptitude in both subject areas. This was reflected in the AS grades I received in June 2002; achieving an A grade in mathematics which has inspired me further in my pursuit of the subject.

My interest has spread to computers and trying to link the two together has played a big part of my life in the last few years. I have taught myself, using books and other available sources, how to program in HTML and this has made it possible for me to take an active role in web design.

My other academic interests include Business Studies, especially management and finance areas which link with sections of the maths course. My choice to include a humanities subject at A level was partly encouraged by my need to analyse and evaluate situations, Business Studies gives me the chance to do this in great detail and I find it therapeutic to get involved in relevant

case studies. I am also taking an A level in General Studies which is increasing my knowledge of political and cultural issues. The subject also encourages group discussions concerning current affairs and provides me with the opportunity to input my opinions.

For the last few years I have been a member of a Duke of Edinburgh scheme running locally within the college. In June 2001 I completed the Bronze Award and am now working towards my Gold. This has given me a lot of experience in teamwork, problem solving and maintaining a high level of responsibility. These qualities have been taken on into a successful work experience placement in year 10 and my part time job as a sales/management assistant at respectable retail outlet Marks and Spencer.

I have enjoyed my time in the Sixth Form and have taken pleasure from both the academic and extra-curricular activities. I feel that I possess the qualities required to continue maths on to a higher level and combine it with modules that both interest me now and in areas which I hope to build on whilst at university. I am confident that this enthusiasm will combine with my strong determination and motivation, enabling me to succeed in the challenges that university presents.

Biology personal statement

Studying at a university has always been very attractive to me. Not only because it will help me to become independent, but also because it will enable me to study as much as I want. I particularly look forward to studying at a university in the United Kingdom because I feel it would give me a real challenge, an adventure to remember and an opportunity to broaden my horizons beyond the Netherlands. It would also help me to improve my English in a way that I wouldn&apost be able to do if I were to stay in the Netherlands.

After having visited several open days for universities in the United Kingdom, I am even more determined to study there. Having decided that I want to spend my years as a student in the United Kingdom, I had to pick one course out of many interesting studies, so I have chosen Biology. Biology is an obvious choice for me because I am very interested in life in general, especially in the environment. In school I take Biology as part of my profile and I like the modules Genetics, Ecology and Evolution the best. I believe the three of them play a huge role in trying to understand nature&aposs many mysteries.

My biology teacher emphasizes fieldwork, and I particularly enjoyed working on a Winogradsky Column, which is a micro-ecosystem, because it helped me to apply my biological knowledge in a practical way. Also, together with two other students, I am working on a paper on Aphasia. For our project we had the chance to test an actual aphasia-patient in a revalidation center, using PALPA test 51. Then we compared his results to the results of non-aphasic people. I liked this assignment very much because we had to carry out a lot of research. It helped me to develop research skills, as well as communications skills.

I like to solve puzzles and see biology as a way to investigate problems and generate solutions, hence my interests in applying my study to a future career as a forensic scientist or environmental scientist. Being a forensic scientist looks very exciting to me, using biological techniques to fight crimes, and to present evidence in court to bring the victims justice. Though being influenced by a few television series, a career in the forensic field has always been appealing to me. Justice is just one of the things that I am very passionate about.

The second option was not on my mind until I followed biology classes in school. I suddenly realized that I truly enjoyed the chapters about the environment, and that I certainly would not mind learning a whole lot more about it. Studying biology will enable me to carry out research in that field and to share my knowledge with others. Working in a laboratory with other scientists is a very attractive idea to me. I would like to work towards solutions for existing problems, or even better, to find new questions yet to be answered.

I have also participated in other school projects and leadership programs. One of those projects was the European Youth Parliament. That was very useful for my debating skills, and it really made me think about the problems we have in our society today. Besides thinking about problems on a more global level, I have spent time being a part of the Student Board. That gave me a chance to defend the needs of the students, and to have influence on decisions made about us.

Outside school I like to learn new things as well. Since the age of five I have been an avid reader, and I will read any thing from the classics till modern fantasy, as long as it has got words in it. I believe that caused me to be a fast reader, which leads to better information gathering. I read books in both English and Dutch, and I believe that one should try to read a book in it’s original language. One of my other interests is computers. I have gained experience with Linux and programming languages, as well as useful contacts from all over the world thanks to the computer.

I hope that this statement shows that I am a motivated student and that I will be dedicated to my course.
