Example Personal Statements 21-22 Examples of real statements written by ex-students over the past few years DO NOT COPY OR PLAIGIARISE These are for ideas only. Please also check out the Personal Statement Pre-record resources Subject Guides (with subject specific personal statement advice) PS Accountancy and Finance I would like to study Accountancy and Finance at university as I have family who work in this industry; through seeing their work it has inspired me to follow the same career path as I also have a broad interest in the subject. By reading up about accountancy it has encouraged me further to study this subject as the analytics’ and management of money widely interest me. Furthermore, I think a university education would broaden my social and intellectual horizons greatly to prepare me for my future career. Economics has greatly interested me in how it affects the real world. Viewing how economics is related to every country around the world and the ways it affects their standard of living has also massively inspired me. I specifically enjoy macroeconomics because of this reason. However, I also have a passion for microeconomics as I appreciate viewing the effects that macroeconomics can have upon microeconomics; comparing these effects I see as one of my strong points. I work analytically when comparing the two which I also use throughout the whole course to further compare single markets. Within IT I work conscientiously in my assignments to ensure I meet all grades on the first deadline to prevent me having to resubmit. Throughout my assignments I manage my time efficiently to ensure I complete and double check before the deadline date. By using this technique, I often find that I never miss anything out on my assignments and hit the full grades first time. I have also found studying Geography has been useful, particularly when considering case studies and impact on the global environment. I have found this overlaps into my Economic studies effectively. Throughout my life I have always been eager to learn. In my own time I do a lot of outside reading and independent study. I motivate my independent study by setting goals to achieve; I carry this technique through all of my courses as well as in day to day life. Specifically, for economics I read the news everyday so I can relate my class work to real world situations. For IT I often teach myself detailed information about the assignments I am currently on; such as when I was suggesting a computer system for my client to launch an online transactional website I further researched the components needed and explanations of how they work using books in the library. Through doing this I will have further knowledge of my subjects which will help me strive to have a more accurate understanding my subjects in ways that my peers may not; I will bring this technique of outside reading into my university work which I know will help further with my studies similarly as it is to my A levels. I currently work in ASDA part time while studying. This has been a challenge for me that I have overcome greatly by managing my time efficiently to ensure I complete all aspects of my work both inside and outside of college without falling behind. While working at ASDA I have gained team skills as I work in the chilled department with a big group of staff. We work effectively together to ensure we get all our delivery done by the deadline. I work an early morning showing that I am committed despite involving unsociable hours. Recently I have also been managing my department while staff were away. From this I learnt how to coordinate different members of my team to ensure we met the objectives set by my store manager. Also, from this work I have learned people skills as I speak and help customers with any enquiries quickly and efficiently. I enjoy listening to music both in my free time and during my work. I believe that it makes me further focus on my work if I quiet
