01
个人陈述
Personal Statements
这是一篇简短的反思文章，您写的是为什么您是通过UCAS（大学入学申请办事处）申请大学课程的完美候选人。
最多用4,000个字符、47行描述了迄今为止您的生活。
重要的是要注意，除非您申请牛津或剑桥，否则您提交的个人陈述将被您申请的所有大学看到。
最好现在word文档中起草并定稿您的陈述，然后将其复制到UCAS的Apply系统提交，而不要再提交后再更改。
一些招生导师会建议您敲一个空行来分隔段落，因为当语句被复制到UCAS Apply时，任何缩进或格式都将被删除。
您需要表明自己如何努力学习某个科目，学到了什么以及关系如何，应该基于课程提出6点计划。为课程提供6点计划。有ABC规则——行动、益处和课程。

如何撰写个人陈述
为什么选择在该大学学习该课程
许多招生导师说：“不要浪费时间去想一个引人注目的开场白：它往往是一个十足的诅咒。
相反，请考虑您对课程的兴趣以及您选择它的原因。
最好的个人陈述要直入要点。以一个简短的句子开始，描述您对申请的研究领域感兴趣的原因，并传达对它的热情。直接进入并强调为什么您对学习特定课程感到兴奋。开篇是一个介绍自己的机会，并解释您选择研究课题的动机，并展示对它的个人见解。招生团队希望了解您对课程的热情，招生团队还会强调如果更好地与他们就有趣的、相关的、特别的和最新的事项进行线上公开线上交流。如果不是您“从很小的时候”或“我一直想要的”，他们会建议从现在激励个人的事情开始，而不是那些在六岁的时候激励的事情。Ucas已在个人陈述中公布了最常见的开头模式，并敦促申请人避免使用这些“陈腐的”短语。譬如：从年轻时候开始……；只要我记得……；我正在申请这门课程，因为……；我一直对……感兴趣；在我的一生中，我一直很享受……
个人陈述的组成结构
第1部分：将是学术性的。在本节中，您可以谈论EPQ。学术部分应占据大约75％的个人陈述。值得注意的是，牛津剑桥的申请尤其需要集中精力阐述学术部分，而不是课外活动。
第2部分：这将是您对所选课程的兴趣和参与程度。招生会关注那些阅读并在课堂外表现出更多兴趣的人， 通过书籍和活动等可以看到这一点。
第3部分：展示工作经验（有偿或无偿），以证明申请人对某个学科的了解或对某项技能的掌握。重要的是您阅读课程描述并将其与此要求相匹配。
第4部分：爱好和兴趣。这将是个人陈述中最简短的部分。它们需要与您希望学习的课程相关。例如，您不能仅仅只说喜欢看电影，而应该说明电影与学科的相关性以及它为什么是一项重要的爱好。例如“由于反复看电影，我培养了批判和分析的能力。
打橄榄球的您可能会说这鼓励了“团队合作，并且由此发展了战术、领导能力和适应能力”。
观看足球也可以展示出“出色的领导能力和沟通能力”。
一个小心谨慎的您不应该写下诸如“去电影院”或“长途跋涉、外出”这样的事情。
将自己与一些经过深思熟虑的功利性事物区分开来更为可取。
总之，建议重申攻读特定科目的的所有优势都是您想要的。写下未来的愿望或发表学习计划。建议重新审视已经讨论述过的关键点。这将有助于重新引起重视，万一有人未能看到这一点。
重申您所拥有的关键技能、兴趣和经验，将是一种完满的结尾。
谈论未来也是可取的。以目标为导向来谈论， 思考申请的课程如何匹配您未来的计划。
谈论您想要达到的目标也很好。这有可能是诸如与来自不同背景和文化的人交往的信心。
大学希望了解您将如何成为一种资产。
在个人陈述中，您必须决定您想要学习什么。
您需要阅读有关课程本身的所有内容，包括模块的详细信息以及您将来需要学习的内容。
您有五个选择。通常情况下，最好充分利用所有五种Ucas选择。但是，如果只有一门课程让您感兴趣，而且您希望参加的只有一所大学，那么它确实意味着您只需要关注一个陈述。
如果您选择了五门相同的课程，那么个人陈述很容易。然而，如果它是计算机科学的三个学位课程和计算机游戏技术的两个课程的混合，那么事情变得更加复杂。
还有两种具体情况，选择一门与其他四门课程不同的课程可能是不可避免的。这些是 ：
如果您正在申请医学，牙科或兽医学课程，而您最多只能有四种选择，但您的陈述确实需要100％专注于它们。在这种情况下，一些大学的一些课程将很乐意成为您的第五选择，尽管陈述与他们没有直接关系。但同样，有些课程却不允许。

经典个人陈述示例
Philosophy and Maths
（University college - London）
‘The precision of maths suits my nature. I like detail, understanding complex information and the pleasurable challenge of problem- solving. I have particulary enjoyed studying pure maths at A level, most notably geometry, algebra and logic. I have been trying out the NRICH ‘prepare for university’ pure maths problems to refine my skills and ensure that I am fully ready for the next stage in my learning. I haven’t had the opportunity to formally study philosophy before. Novels such as Sophie’s World by Jostein Gaarder and L’Etranger by Albert Camus whetted my appetite to learn more on the subject, My interest was confirmed when I started reading about the philosophy questions, questioning assumptions and utilizing my skills of analysis and reflective thinking. I feel that philosophy is a natural choice for me. I look forward to an intellectually challenging course offering two complementary subjects which should help me to develop skills in quantitative and logical problem-solving, along with the ability to articulate my ideas. I might even manage to find answers to the big questions about life and the universe along the way’.
Including hobbies in personal statements
（Kings College, London）
‘Away from my studies, I am an enthusiastic (if not particularly skilled) footballer. Week in, week out, you’ll find me playing for the team I joined eight years ago. We show grit, commitment , and great teamwork in the face of stronger opposition and miserable weather. Our effective communication and team spirit help to make up for our lack of pace. These qualities served me well on my recent Duke of Edinburgh’s Award expedition where I also demonstrated my self – reliance by planning and completing a testing journey in the North York Moors. I enjoy being physically and mentally challenged and take pleasure in the contrast with my academic life at sixth form. I hope that these skills and qualities will come in useful at university and in my future career. I know that my academic studies will be demanding, so I intend to join a football team while I am at university to keep me physically fit and mentally well, as well as extending my friendship group’.
Mathematics and Computer Science
(Oxford University）
‘When asked why I like Mathematics , I realized that it is all down to my personality. Being a composed, explicit person, I enjoy the challenge of questions with unequivocal answers. My character’s orderly side draws me enthusiastically towards neat solutions, my creativity gives rise to my acceptance of new ideas and my positive mind results in my wish to succeed’.
Electrical and Electronic Engineering Personal Statement
‘I have always had a creative ability and a fascination with how things work. The challenge of solving practical problems inherent in the field of engineering directly appeals to these traits. I am particulary interested in electrical and electronic engineering because it is such a rapidly evolving discipline’.
Economics
（Oxford University）
‘When moving from GCSE to A level I approached the two ‘new’ subjects I had chosen with excitement and some trepidation. I now realise taking Politics and Economics was the right choice. My experiences of A level Economics have shown me the fundamental part it plays in our lives and I am keen to study it in more depth and be able to use my knowledge to complete individual economic based studies , I am especially interested in the political nature of economics and feel that the two disciplines are complementary. I also enjoy looking at the Economics of Work & Leisure as it emphasizes the importance economics has on consumer choices in everyday life. I enjoy this as it looks at the subject in a practical sense rather than simply theory. I keep up to date with current economic affairs by reading ‘The Economist” and ‘The Times’. I have been on Work Experience in a Minister’s Parliamentary Office where I was fascinated by the diversity of issues dealt with. I work with Politics on a local level and attended the Sutton Borough Youth Parliament Election Workshops to learn how young people can be active in politics’.
Computer Science
（Cambridge University）
‘I find it amazing to watch as the digital revolution sculpts society at a rate that has never before been see; there is so much more to be discovered. Quantum computing is a topic that particularly interests me, stemming from my studies and keen interest in physics. I find it incredible to think that technology has reached the point that we are solving problems using the quantum mechanical nature of single electrons. I am looking forward to becoming part of the next generation of computer scientists, to bring new ideas to the table and build on the work of today’s greatest minds.
I have developed a love for problem solving. From as early age I enjoyed writing bits of code to move a pen around the screen to draw. “Pen Down”, “UP 4” and so on. However, I did not start my passion until I had started my GCSEs . My school was offering a new course called programs and manipulating computers in new ways using the programs experience of my teacher to guide me. I would write a program to do my maths homework for me and, during my work experience at Big Talk Productions, I wrote a program to sort through a list of film recommendations, picking out the top suggestions from a set of comments on a blog . I have also explored networking through the CISCO course at my school and experimentation at home. Building physical networks and trying to troubleshoot them is engaging and the satisfaction of finding the missing piece to the puzzle after hours of trial and refinement is unbeatable. “
Maths
（Oxford University）
‘Mathematics has been one of my favourite subjects throughout my academic career, mainly because of my love of problem solving, however, I also enjoy the notion of mathematical proof. I enjoy constructing proofs because the absolute nature of them makes finding one via logical conclusion all the more gratifying. I appreciate applying mathematical techniques to problem solving through the use of algorithms as well. I found a website called projecteuler.net dedicated to the late mathematician, which has a series of logical problems that can only be solved by writing a program to calculate the answer. The problems become very challenging very quickly and the scale of the data becomes huge. This makes the importance of application efficiency very clear and trying to achieve this becomes intensely mathematical which makes finding the solution more and more rewarding. “

谈谈你的兴趣
（学校）可能要求您参加面试，所以您将不得不扩展自己在个人陈述中所写的内容，您需要准备好谈论个人陈述中包含的爱好和任何其他信息。
总之，使用正式的语气，目标明确并保持积极态度。要直截了当。提到书籍是好的，但不要引用名句，因为它们被过度使用，而且没有反映您自己的思想。
消极情绪在个人陈述中没有任何意义，因此如果您需要提及您已经克服的困难境况，请确保将其作为学习经历而不是让读者发现任何缺点的机会。此外，请记住，您的个人陈述可能会作为申请的一部分进入几所大学，因此如果在申请中提到某所大学可能就不会得到其他大学的青睐。
