What should I include in my personal statement?

Ensure you write primarily about why you are interested in studying your chosen course, then use your previous experiences to back this up.For example, say you are interested in studying French because you would like to discover more about francophone culture, then explain how you first developed an interest in it when travelling in south west France.
