At St Andrews, we suggest that at least two thirds of your personal statement is focused on the subject area or areas you are applying to. We recommend that the rest of your personal statement tells us about any other relevant information, including non-academic extra-curricular activities such as sport, music, the arts, leadership roles or community work. Common Application and Direct Application personal statement Your personal statement (also known as an interest essay) should demonstrate your passion and commitment to the subject area you are applying for. Unlike the UCAS personal statement which is seen by all the universities applied to through UCAS, the personal statement in the Common and Direct Application forms is only seen by our admissions officers. This means the personal statement can and should be totally focused on why you want to study your chosen course and why you want to study this at the University of St Andrews specifically. When writing your personal statement you should describe your interest in your selected course at St Andrews and consider the following questions: The University of St Andrews offers a range of single (major) and joint honours (double major) degrees and triple honours combinations. Why do you want to study your chosen subject(s) at university, and how have your studies and research into this degree developed your interest in this area? What aspects of the faculty and, or research at St Andrews have motivated you to apply? At St Andrews, the flexible degree structure enables students to explore a range of subjects during their first two years. How will this interdisciplinary approach enrich your academic experience and shape your intellectual development? LINK : https://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/study/undergraduate/apply/personal-statement/
