我们看看德蒙特福特法学院院长Tim Hillier 关于撰写法律专业个人陈述的专家建议：

"We like to know that students are going to be interested in studying law. It's useful to know

what motivated the applicant to choose law rather than all the other subjects on offer.

"Interest may stem from A-level study, or from something in the news, or from personal interaction with the law. It doesn't matter as long as it is personal to the individual applicant.

"Law is also very much about communication and language so personal statements that indicate genuine interest in reading (beyond the set texts for A-level) or the meaning of words will suggest an aptitude for law."

Andrew Clark 博士，伦敦布鲁内尔大学心理学本科入学导师：

"I’m not interested in applicants name-checking specific psychological studies. They don’t need to have studied the subject before, and they don’t need to have been interested from an early age.

"Instead, I want to know that applicants understand and appreciate modern psychology as a scientific endeavour, one which relies on formulating hypotheses and testing them with data to gain insights into brain and behaviour.

"There are a lot of public misconceptions about what the subject is about, most of which ignore this critical feature. The more misconceptions an applicant holds, the more likely that they’ll be disappointed with the course."

兰卡斯特医学院医学院院长兼医学研究副主任凯伦格兰特博士

"A common mistake that applicants make when they write their personal statement is to describe a long list of different types of work and voluntary experience, without reflecting on these experiences and without demonstrating much insight into their chosen career.

"Much more important than what you have done is what you can demonstrate that you learned

from the experience. What did you learn about being a doctor/working in modern healthcare? What did you learn about your own suitability to be a doctor? How did your experiences cement your desire to become a doctor?"

撰写历史专业的专家建议

谢菲尔德大学历史系的Bob Moore 教授

"One of the most important elements of a personal statement is for an applicant to show his/her

engagement with the subject beyond the confines of their A-level studies. This might take the form of a book, a location or an activity that has been particularly influential in their choice course.

"Telling us why this particular work or event is personally significant is a good way for an applicant to demonstrate their passion for - and commitment to - studying history at degree level,showing us that they will be a bright and engaged student."

关于撰写地理专业个人陈述的专家建议

Lorna Stevenson，地理学本科招生专家，LSE

"Aspiring geographers often like to tell us about their travels. Get the most out of your holiday

stories by including some geographical analysis: did the city you visit conform to traditional ideas about urban layout, for example.

"You could also consider the geographical aspects of stories in the news. All universities want to recruit students who are aware of what’s going on around them. If you are able to add your own opinion on these topics it shows that you have the analytical skills needed."

关于撰写计算机科学专业个人陈述的专家建议

赫尔大学计算机科学系导师Neil A. Gordon 博士

"Generic statements such as ‘keeping up to date with technology’ tell us very little, but if you have experience of Scratch programming, have investigated a programming language such as C# or Java, or have built something using a Raspberry Pi, that’s relevant.

"Visiting a university computing department, attending a science fair, or being a member of a computing society would also show a personal interest in the subject."

撰写经济学个人陈述的专家建议

利兹大学商学院经济学副教授加里斯莱特博士：

"Too often, applicants make vague statements like 'economics informs everything' or 'as an avid reader of The Economist…' but these don’t impress.

"Instead, say something meaningful about the books you've read, economists' blogs you follow or topical issues you’re following, including what in particular you find interesting (or even disagree with). In short, be yourself, be honest and make sure you evidence your enthusiasm for the subject."

关于撰写数学个人陈述的专家建议

Tristan Pryer，雷丁大学数学，物理和计算科学学院数学与统计系招生导师

“Two things make a personal statement stand out.

"The first is enthusiasm for the subject. Not 'I’ve liked maths from an early age', more why you like it, and how your interests fit in with the institution.

"Second is to highlight what makes you unique. Why should I spend time reading your application over the other hundreds that I receive?

"If you manage to convince the admissions tutor that you’re an interesting and qualified

candidate, you’re far more likely to get in."

关于撰写物理专业个人陈述的专家建议

Todd Huffman 教授，牛津大学玛格丽特霍尔女士物理学教授

"The biggest mistake that students make in their personal statements is when they list books they have read, but then, in interview, seem incapable of telling us anything about the books. Remember, we might well have read those books too!

"So if you do list books that you read that you either found interesting or inspired you, make sure you re-read them shortly before your interview so that you can talk about them. And it might be good, if you list any at all, to only limit yourself to one or two books. Personally, If I were writing a personal statement I would not list any books at all."

关于撰写化学专业个人陈述的专家建议

Philippa Cranwell 博士，雷丁大学有机化学招生导师，教学研究员

"As admissions tutor I want to know why you are interested in chemistry. Try to avoid the usual phrases like 'I have always been interested in…' and tell me something that I won’t have come across before. For example: 'When reading Chemistry World I was fascinated by the article about fluorescent proteins…'

"This shows that you are going the extra mile to read about chemistry; over and above what you

are taught in class. As an admissions tutor I look for enthusiasm, passion and a love of the subject.

That will make you stand out."
