How to Write Your Personal Statement: The Essentials

Your personal statement is one of the most essential – and powerful – parts of your university application.

It’s an opportunity for you to explain your reasons for choosing the course and why you’ve chosen this particular university over others. Most importantly, it’s your chance to introduce and sell yourself.

In this post, we look at the essentials of how to write a great personal statement that almost jumps off the page and gives you the best possible chance of admission into your chosen course.

What to write about

When writing your personal statement, think of the reasons that made you choose this course at Northumbria. Here is your chance to describe any qualities, skills, achievements and experiences that relate to the course, as well as demonstrate your passion for wanting to study in that field. It doesn’t have to be purely academic, these can also be social and sporting activities. If you feel it’s relevant to your desired course or shows some positive aspects about your personality, then include it in your statement.

Be sure to show enthusiasm for the course and university you’re applying for. This will really make your application all the more appealing to the admissions panel. If you’re missing some formal qualifications, you can include any similar experiences that relate, this will be helpful to your application.

Be sure to answer the following questions in your personal statement:

• Why are you applying?
• What makes you suitable for the course?
• What about the course attracted you the most?
• What do you hope to do in your future career?
• How is your chosen course relevant to your career plans?

How to write it

Your personal statement has to be around 500 words. When thinking about the structure, write it with your skills, achievements and qualities that are most relevant to your course or university’s entry requirements towards the start of the statement.

In terms of tone, write in a concise yet natural style that reads well. So, avoid overcomplicated sentences. You’ll want to show some personality in your writing, but avoid trying to be funny or anything unusual. Your intentions may not come across as intended when the admissions team read it.

Don’t be afraid to go back and reread your personal statement. Go over it regularly, making sure the language, grammar and sentence structures are correct. It never hurts to ask for help, so ask a tutor, family member or friend to read it and give you feedback and suggest changes.

When you’re happy with your latest draft, read it out aloud to make sure it’s clear, makes sense, and gets all your key skills and attributes across.

After reading your personal statement, the university admissions team member should learn about your:

• enthusiasm – for the course
• motivation – to better your career prospects
• focus – on learning

If you’d like to expand your career horizons by studying at Northumbria, then take a look at one of the many pathway courses available. Or contact us directly for any other questions.

Physiotherapy Personal Statement Guide

Personal statement guidelines.

When writing your personal statement  please consider the following areas:

• Justification for wanting to enter the profession – what attracts you to this profession?
• Is it the values, characteristics, behaviours &/or variety of roles and responsibilities?
• Why does this profession stand out for you compared to other health and social care professions?
• Investigation of Physiotherapy as a career – to be able to make an informed career choice you must investigate some of the diversity of the profession ideally through direct observation of physiotherapists in diverse areas of practice
• Evidence of additional skills, knowledge, experience – Transferable skills – how do your personal attributes, values, characteristics, behaviours and experiences relate to or prepare you for this challenging academic programme and a future career as a physiotherapist.

Structured Personal Statement

Tell us the reason you have chosen to study physiotherapy..

Within this answer you can tell us what motivated you to become a physiotherapist, and what you find interesting or inspiring about the profession. We would like you to show that you understand the role of the physiotherapist in different areas of clinical practice and the skills, values and qualities that are needed. Additionally, describe why this health care profession suits you personally. We expect you to give examples that show you have a caring attitude.

Describe the roles and responsibilities of physiotherapists.

In this section you should tell us about your investigation into the physiotherapy profession, particularly discussing experiences you have had of physiotherapy. Although receiving physiotherapy yourself might have been your introduction to the profession we expect applicants to explore further than this. This must include work experience or placements within a physiotherapy setting, the opportunity to talk to physiotherapists about their role and evidence of reading around the subject or accessing information on the internet. Rather than simply providing a list, please expand on what the experience taught you about the profession. Physiotherapy is very varied profession, working with different populations in different settings; you should demonstrate an awareness of this.

Tell us about skills, knowledge and experience you have and explain why this is relevant to a future career in Physiotherapy.

Please use experiences from previous learning, work, volunteering, hobbies, sport, music and any other activities you think relevant. Again, rather than a list of achievements please explain the specific skills or values demonstrated and how this has helped prepare you for study and a future career as a Physiotherapist. It may be useful to look at the NHS Constitution Values as this discusses the values and behaviours important for working in health care in the UK.

MSc Business with International Management with Advanced Practice

• Sample personal statement

02 April, 2018

Msc business with international management with advanced practice share.

• 12 May, 2013

Today’s changing nature of global business and organisations that are evolving at fast pace to emancipate traditional management with business leaders who are versatile and pragmatic. Given the recent development that my home country India has seen in the last decade, it has become integral to co-ordinate and sustain the growth with skilled and professional human capital. This importance goes further with demands for skilled and educated women to put balance, equality and diversity in business and organisations and hence in the social and economic thread. Being a woman student of India, I feel I must come forward along with others to take the step and contribute to my society, country and hence the world economy while empowering myself in the success and bridge the gender gap in the top.

As a disciple of management qualification, I have undertaken detailed research on number of management courses offered by few UK universities. None of those quite meet my expectations but the MSc Business with International Management with Advanced Practice offered by Northumbria University.

Modern business and organisations has taken huge turn in recent years - operating and sustaining business growth in the complex and unpredictable trends of ever changing global environment that is ever innovative, creative and technical, established management practices require adopting new concepts and redesigning management approaches. Modern management commands unprejudiced flexibility to shape with relative culture, environment, law, politics, natural disaster etc. Management students now require practice based skills while gaining degrees.

This MSc course has been designed to equip students with the competency and professionalism that can help to meet the challenges that managers are facing in the global business environment. I find the syllabus of the MSc programme aligned and synchronised with the current global business and management issues to prepare a new generation of managers who can successfully adapt with the constant evolution of business and organisations. The learning contents of this MSc are true reflections of my academic vision and career ambition that I have developed to match the demands of the new corporate world.

From the course, I aim to learn a solid grounding in the major business management disciplines and concepts, the opportunity to analyse and test techniques, a true understanding of what lies behind business jargon, the skills to integrate applications, develop critical analytical skills in assessing the global environment for business, identify new international business opportunities and analyse international markets and industries, apply an action inquiry approach to develop strategies for effecting change by demonstrating effective negotiation, influencing and leadership skills.

The study would enable me to learn to appreciate the senior management role and how different theories and models influence the practice of management. I learn how to use appropriate and relevant information efficiently and effectively to make better decisions. The course would provide me knowledge in different leadership styles, role of strategic leadership and strategies they need to adopt to bring about changes in organisations. I will learn to take my own responsibility, take personal ownership of planning and decisions with autonomy and self-direction. I will achieve skills in financial appraisals and their material impacts assess risk and project viability. The course would develop other soft skills including working effectively as part of a team, setting goals and meeting targets, ability in critical analysis, negotiations, motivations and persuasion. 

It is important to mention here that I have gained invaluable experience as a ‘Credit Services Executive’ from HSBC – Electronic Data Processing India Pvt. Ltd.; as an ‘Accounting Administrator’ from Lucarn and Radaan Laboratories Pvt. Ltd.; & as a ‘ Credit Risk/KYC Analyst’ from ICICI Bank Limited in India. I have put positive contribution towards the success of these companies while gained self and professional development as business executive. This knowledge and skills would be crucially complementary to the study of this MSc – I would be able to relate the learning with reality to theory and translate the outcome more effectively to reap the targets of the qualification with ultimate interest and passion.

Learning from my MBA modules will have significant contribution to complement this course due to the similarities and knowledge integration with the MSc learning outcomes. I can transfer the learning to this MSc study to enrich my attainments and gain outstanding performance in the accomplishments.

The syllabus contents and learning targets of this MSc is more developed than that of my MBA and designed to equip with advanced knowledge, skills and competences. In particular, the transformations of learning from theory to practice in the work placement phase would make a real difference between my current level and the achievements from this course. I will gain enhanced knowledge and skills and acquire progressions both academically and professionally.

The qualification would open myriad of opportunities which I aim to take advantage of and take it further for my success. In addition to the knowledge and skills, studying this MSc would allow me the opportunity to have international exposure, bright career prospects, development and advancement of career, skills and professionalism to become a self-starter as entrepreneur.

The Advanced Practice module is the most distinctive feature of the course -  being in this module’s training will create an opportunity for me to gain most sought ‘soft-skills’ i.e. self-management, team working, problem solving, application of IT, communication, application of numeracy, business and customer awareness that every employers hunt for. I will develop personally and professionally to equip myself with competencies that include cultural awareness, presentation skills, personal development planning, personal brand and digital identity, connecting and networking within industry, volunteering, entrepreneurialism, business research, emotional intelligence, IT literacy, reflective practice etc. from practical workshops and events. I will have further chances to be equipped with interview skills, psychometric testing, professional CV writing, approaching job application, using social media platform, translating and transforming theory into practice and these could earn me a prospective internship opportunity in UK or other international companies.

On graduation, I expect imminent opening of my career at management position in business development, business operations, brand development, external relations or other functional areas of organisations. My home country, India, has been developing fast in last few decades – there are bountiful opportunities for UK graduates due to the applied skills they transfer to the home country alongside world-recognised qualifications. I am confident, I will have a prosperous career life there and this can only be brighter in long-term. In 2 to 5 years post-qualification, I see myself in senior management position and develop my career in prestigious height of the board of directors in 5 to 10 years.

Northumbria University’s MSc Business with International Management with Advanced Practice programme is purely dedicated for professional development, contemporary management skills and practical competencies. The teaching emphasis on the acquisitions of employability skills and provided by a mix of academics and industry experienced practitioners who offer genuine professional insight and robust academic teaching. The course is offered under the Newcastle Business School which is one of only 1% of the world’s business schools to hold the prestigious double AACSB accreditation.

The university provide personal tutor support and guidance to increase learners’ confidence and assist in realising potential, and a high degree of student-tutor contact time through small group sessions. Upon graduating, I will have chance to join one of Professional Pathways programmes of the university, to further build my skills and employability with one of the UK’s leading IT and project management training providers, QA.

At the London campus of the University, I will have access to the very latest technology and electronic resources to support my learning; the e-learning technology will enable me to interact with the learning process and develop my information retention and knowledge. The online learning resources including interactive modules, videos and multiple choice tests as part of the online study system complement the classroom learning and help to revise and prepare for examinations.

The learning resources support the aims of this flagship course that could well entitle me with a career ready qualification, an MSc that can transform my career and life with riches and successes.

What is a personal statement.

A personal statement is an essay written by a student applying to either a college or university. A personal statement is written and then uploaded to UCAS and is then attached to any university applications that the student may then make.

If you need more information check out our personal statement advice articles .

How to write a personal statement

There isn't a clearly defined personal statement template for you to use as each person's statement is different.

When it comes to writing a personal statement for universities, your personal statement should touch on your passions, your interest in the course, why you're applying for the course and why you would be an asset to the university you're applying to.

Talk about the clubs and societies that you belong to, any work experience you may have and any awards you might have won.

If you're still looking for information check out our article on how to write a personal statement .

How to start a personal statement

When it comes to starting your personal statement, the best thing to do is to be succinct and to have enough tantalising information to keep the reader informed and eager for more.

Your introduction should touch on your personal qualities and why you are applying for the subject you're applying for. Keeping things short and sweet means that it also allows you to break your personal statement up, which makes it easier for the reader.

We have plenty of advice for students that are wondering about what to include in a personal statement .
