How should you structure your personal statement?

A personal statement is your way of expressing to the Universities of your choice your passion for your chosen degree, as well as explain how your experiences and knowledge are connected to it.Just like any essay, your personal statement should have an introduction, a main body and a conclusion.In the introduction, you demonstrate your enthusiasm about your degree, and explain why you want to study it. In the main body, you should pick some notable experiences, for example an internship or an A-level subject, and relate them to the degree you have chosen, that allow you to show your commitment for the degree. Lastly, in the conclusion it is advisable to include an introduction of how you want to approach your degree further in the future.
