1 英國大學申請個人陳述分類
個人陳述主要是對自己學術經歷的陳述,是申請留學時“自我推銷”的最好方式,學生可以借此機會讓招生人員對自己的綜合能力有一個更生動深刻的了解。不同學校的不同專業(yè)對于個人陳述的寫作要求都稍有不同,但一般來講,個人陳述總體可以分為以下三個部分:
1、對所申請專業(yè)領域整體上的認識和把握,強調自己的申請這個專業(yè)的動機,今后的發(fā)展放向和職業(yè)規(guī)劃。比如,現(xiàn)在很多同學都想學商科,但是,如何才能在眾多的申請人中脫穎而出,就要看非常個人化的個人動機以及未來職業(yè)發(fā)展規(guī)劃。有的同學因為家庭影響學商科,有的同學因為個人興趣學商科,也有同學因為朋友介紹或老師推薦而學商科,而對于畢業(yè)后的規(guī)劃,可能有的人想自己創(chuàng)業(yè),有的人想去跨國公司打工,也可能有的人想以商科作為跳板轉行,或繼續(xù)學術研究??傊?,只要言之有理,讓學??吹揭粋€鮮活的你,留下一個深刻的印象,第一目的就達到了。
2、所申請學校如何適合自己:有對這一專業(yè)積極的學習熱情,自己對學校的了解、包括學校的條件、教授做的工作等。有獨立自主的學習能力。比如,有同學想學藝術,那么自己從小到大都有過怎樣的藝術相關經歷,是參加過哪些藝術活動,還是發(fā)表過哪些藝術作品,認識哪些業(yè)內人物等等,所申請的學校的藝術課程設置是怎樣的,都有哪些名教授,將來會對自己的學習有怎樣的幫助,為自己提供怎樣的機會等等。對這些問題的陳述,同時也可以證明學生自身的自主研究和學習能力,一舉兩得。
3、自己如何適合要申請的學校:自己如何優(yōu)秀、有何研究經歷、有何論文以及成績,個人學術成就,考試成績,競賽獲獎情況等,如何可以順利完成學業(yè),實現(xiàn)職業(yè)理想,對國家的發(fā)展做出自己的貢獻。比如,這一部分就是自賣自夸的部分了,但也要有度,不要太吹牛,本著真實性原則,把自己的主要成就說一下,證明自己對學校會是一個有價值的學生,將來會有潛力回報學校。學校也都愛才,只要你能證明自己是優(yōu)秀的,學校都會掙著搶著錄取你的。
以上是個人陳述的主要內容和框架,長度一般一到兩頁A4紙,再長的話,除非你的文采非常出眾,否則招生人員也不會耐著性子看。
2 申請人寫個人陳述需要準備哪些素材
國內學生申請赴英國留學,申請文書方面不容忽視,尤其是個人陳述的寫作,大家想寫好PS,素材準備很重要,那大家知道應該準備哪些素材嗎?同學們可以根據以下方面取材:
一、申請動機 專業(yè)志向
PS開頭一定要強調自己的亮點,寫些老外有概念的東西;如果你的學業(yè)真的非常優(yōu)秀,可以用一句話帶過;然后寫自己的申請目的和動機,你也可以為了迎合老外的想法而寫自己的申請事項,但是一定要結合實際情況;千萬不能抄襲別人的PS。
二、兒童時代 家庭環(huán)境
申請者可根據自己的家庭、父母以及自身獨特的地方來寫,突出別人沒有的方面;如果自己的兒童時代沒有獨特的地方,你可以換種角度來寫,或許就變成了一種優(yōu)勢,比如兒童時代喜歡折紙、制作模型等,這些就可以突出你的天賦和創(chuàng)造能力;或者自己的家庭特殊,也可以彰顯你的獨立和自主能力。
三、學校學習
很多申請者一張口就是自己TOP多少多少或者成績如何如何,那又怎樣呢,老外根本不關心這些,學習能力才是最重要的,比如學生汲取知識的能力、另辟蹊徑的創(chuàng)造力等;如果你是剛畢業(yè)的學生,學業(yè)成績不一定要寫進去,有進步的成績可以寫,太空虛或者不實際的就不要浪費紙張了。
四、課外活動
如果申請者成績不是很好,可以用課外活動的成績來彌補,不是課外活動本身的成就,而是通過課外活動,你的人性、本質和品格的體現(xiàn),挖掘自己最閃光的地方。
五、科研教學
對于工科學生而言,學校的實驗成就很重要;不同的專業(yè),完全不同的寫法,但要體現(xiàn)自己的專業(yè)性,不要copy別人的,自己要了解所申專業(yè)注重的地方。
六、社會實踐 工作成就
除非你的工作成就如莫言一般,那可以放進去,工作業(yè)績要有明確的證明,但個人在社會實踐中體現(xiàn)的品格最重要,如團隊、分享、協(xié)助精神等。品格方面,也可以寫自己不經意間幫助了別人,保護環(huán)境、節(jié)約水電、慈善等。
七、學習計劃 今后目標
出國以后的學習計劃和目標,一定實事求是,說出自己出國的動機、目的,千萬不可有移民傾向哦,還有出國以后通過什么實現(xiàn)自己的夢想等。
最后總結部分,你要知道沒有完美的PS,有能力的話,可以以一種散文的形式表述自己的一切,好的PS都是不一樣的。個人陳述字數(shù)要求在800-1200之間就可以了。
3 書寫個人陳述的注意事項
在書寫個人陳述的過程中,以下幾個重要的原則同學們必須要注意遵循:
內容重要過形式。不管形式如何,內容一定要翔實具體;不要為了追求形式而輕視內容。面試的時候,你的個人陳述是討論的重點,根據個人陳述問到興趣愛好及個人經歷等所以一定要實話實說,不然到時候面試問題答不上來或者前言不搭后語,情況就不妙了。所以,一定要在真實的基礎上突出自己的優(yōu)勢。一定要做到真實。
以興趣、動機、能力,證明潛力,不要唯成就論,通篇都是以前的成果。這樣的文章寫出來,讓別人看了只能覺得你自高自大,不夠謙遜。
突出學習能力,可以在以后碰到新的問題時迅速學習、超越,并且有能力去做現(xiàn)在還不懂的東西。大學看中的其實是學生的學習能力和潛力,畢竟大學3年,變數(shù)還是很大的,重要的還是要具有很強的自主學習能力和成功的潛力,這樣將來脫穎而出成為人才,為學校貼金的幾率就比較大。
不要千篇一律,不要隨意使用人家的個人陳述,不要隨時使用樣本(可以想象100人寫的個人陳述都類似,在大學的人看來會怎樣!)。另外,申請多所大學的話,一定要針對不同學校的不同特點做相應改動,想想大學招生的人看幾百份幾千份的申請文書,沒有亮點非常general的文書只會被扔到垃圾堆。
【小編總結】這樣看來,個人陳述是不是也沒什么難的呀,只要內容真實,言之有理,包含了以上提到的內容,給招生人員真是鮮活的展現(xiàn)了一個優(yōu)秀的你,那么申請一定會馬到成功!
4 怎么樣的Personal Statement才是英國大學認為真正好的呢?
1、一個真正屬于你自己的故事。
每個人都是不一樣的。所以,一個屬于你自己的故事就可以是一個你的PS。由一個故事,寫一下發(fā)生這個故事的感受,洞察力,通過這些就可以很好的展示你的內驅力和價值觀,再升華到自己想要申請的這個學科。一個吸引人眼球的好故事,就是一個好的PS。
2、分享自己的看法和觀點。
聽過最殘酷的一句話是‘你冷場只是因為你知識面不夠’。是的,在準備寫PS之前,廣泛的閱讀,平時的積累是很重要的。這樣才可以在觸及任何一個話題的時候,你才可以‘有話說’。這樣任何的一個點,加上你建立在廣泛閱讀的基礎上,你都可以有自己的一個批判性觀點。這樣豐富的PS,審核老師自然會喜歡你的PS啦。
3、把握學科周邊的新聞事實。
關注你將要學習的新聞事實可以讓你對自己想要學習的學有更深刻的解讀。這樣你的PS也必然是一個術業(yè)有專攻的有深度的有前瞻性的文書了。
4、展現(xiàn)你的個人魅力,用自己的語言說話。
什么是你的興趣愛好呢。你在什么方便是很擅長的呢。你有做過只有少數(shù)人做過的事情么?這些都能夠讓你顯得不同。比如:獨立一個人去旅行;讀一本很冷門的書。這些就是你的個人魅力。最后,所謂‘文如其人’,用自己的語言說話,不要故意使用大詞長句,這會讓文章顯得生硬,也會讓招生官懷疑這是照抄模板的結果,而不是發(fā)自內心自己的表達。很多機構會展示文書樣本時強調用詞的講究,文法的嚴謹或結構的完整等等。殊不知真正高水平的文書總是在做減法,用詞精煉拒絕冗長,少用復合句,字字珠璣,引經據典,用老外認可的方式來表達,這才是有競爭力的文書。
5、讓你申請的院校看出你的真愛。
留學申請正如相親,短短幾分鐘的寒暄如何讓對方感到你的真愛,是一個好的留學文書必須達到的條件。因此文書中必須有相當篇幅介紹下自己選擇這所大學的原因,切忌寫你們排名高,諾貝爾獎得的多等等每個學生都會寫的套話,每天關注學校網站,了解學校新聞,科研動態(tài)甚至文體活動等等,言之有物的說出你真愛的理由,自然會打動校方。
5 英國大學申請個人陳述案例——商科類專業(yè)
Business and Management Personal Statement
I come from a background wher my family has been in the retail trade for the last hundred years. Whist I was growing up I have been actively taking part in the running of the business. My family has given me the opportunity to further myself in achieving my goals. I believe studying at university will give me the opportunity to progress in the understanding I currently have in Business Studies and ICT. I believe that I can combine my interest in Business Studies and Accounts to excel in Business Management
At my secondary school I was handed the privilege and the responsibility of being head prefect. My responsibilities included attending meetings with the school principal and school staff. I believe these installed essential characteristics such as leadership
I was also the school football captain and represented the school at many inter-schools sports activities. Furthermore I represented the Wildlife Conservation Society of Zambia, which is a charitable organisationfor the protection of wildlife in Zambian Game Parks. Part of my duties included giving talks to other students concerning conservation and wildlife. I thoroughly enjoyed this particular segment of my work because conservation is an issue close to my heart
I am presently enrolled at Redbridge College in Romford wher I am studying three A2 courses in Mathematics, ICT and Business Studies, and one AS-Level in Accounts. I do take part in several sports activities not only to remain in good physical shape but also meet new people. I did not achieve all my targets but I am confident that with extra effort and help from my tutors I will push past my predicted grades. I have drawn up a plan of what needs to be done over the next few months in achieving this. Over the last year I have developed at a personnel level. I understand that the onus is on me to push myself to achieve my ambitions
Outside of college I have a passion for sports both for enjoyment purposes and maintaining fitness. Football is at the centre of my love for sport, but I also enjoy and participate in other sporting activities such as cricket, squash, badminton, tennis, table tennis and long distance running. I am hoping to carry on these activities whilst conducting my studies at university. I believe sports play an important role in providing a balance between education and physical wellbeing
It has long been my ambition to complete my studies at a British university. As it is well established Britain has the finest reputation for higher education around the world. A degree from a British university will assist me in my future career. I am very much looking forward to educational challenges that university has in store for me. I am also looking forward to meeting the different cultures and backgrounds that will exist of any university. But most importantly I believe I have the prerequisites not only to achieve a good degree but to progress at a personal level. This would act as a foundation for any future success in the business world.
6 英國大學申請個人陳述案例——計算機專業(yè)
Maths and computing personal statement
The study of mathematical sciences has intrigued me for many years. The decision to study A levels in both Maths and Physics stemmed from a high interest level and strong aptitude in both subject areas. This was reflected in the AS grades I received in June 2002; achieving an A grade in mathematics which has inspired me further in my pursuit of the subject.
My interest has spread to computers and trying to link the two together has played a big part of my life in the last few years. I have taught myself, using books and other available sources, how to program in HTML and this has made it possible for me to take an active role in web design.
My other academic interests include Business Studies, especially management and finance areas which link with sections of the maths course. My choice to include a humanities subject at A level was partly encouraged by my need to analyse and evaluate situations, Business Studies gives me the chance to do this in great detail and I find it therapeutic to get involved in relevant
case studies. I am also taking an A level in General Studies which is increasing my knowledge of political and cultural issues. The subject also encourages group discussions concerning current affairs and provides me with the opportunity to input my opinions.
For the last few years I have been a member of a Duke of Edinburgh scheme running locally within the college. In June 2001 I completed the Bronze Award and am now working towards my Gold. This has given me a lot of experience in teamwork, problem solving and maintaining a high level of responsibility. These qualities have been taken on into a successful work experience placement in year 10 and my part time job as a sales/management assistant at respectable retail outlet Marks and Spencer.
I have enjoyed my time in the Sixth Form and have taken pleasure from both the academic and extra-curricular activities. I feel that I possess the qualities required to continue maths on to a higher level and combine it with modules that both interest me now and in areas which I hope to build on whilst at university. I am confident that this enthusiasm will combine with my strong determination and motivation, enabling me to succeed in the challenges that university presents.
7 英國大學申請個人陳述案例——生物專業(yè)
Biology personal statement
Studying at a university has always been very attractive to me. Not only because it will help me to become independent, but also because it will enable me to study as much as I want. I particularly look forward to studying at a university in the United Kingdom because I feel it would give me a real challenge, an adventure to remember and an opportunity to broaden my horizons beyond the Netherlands. It would also help me to improve my English in a way that I wouldn&apost be able to do if I were to stay in the Netherlands.
After having visited several open days for universities in the United Kingdom, I am even more determined to study there. Having decided that I want to spend my years as a student in the United Kingdom, I had to pick one course out of many interesting studies, so I have chosen Biology. Biology is an obvious choice for me because I am very interested in life in general, especially in the environment. In school I take Biology as part of my profile and I like the modules Genetics, Ecology and Evolution the best. I believe the three of them play a huge role in trying to understand nature&aposs many mysteries.
My biology teacher emphasizes fieldwork, and I particularly enjoyed working on a Winogradsky Column, which is a micro-ecosystem, because it helped me to apply my biological knowledge in a practical way. Also, together with two other students, I am working on a paper on Aphasia. For our project we had the chance to test an actual aphasia-patient in a revalidation center, using PALPA test 51. Then we compared his results to the results of non-aphasic people. I liked this assignment very much because we had to carry out a lot of research. It helped me to develop research skills, as well as communications skills.
I like to solve puzzles and see biology as a way to investigate problems and generate solutions, hence my interests in applying my study to a future career as a forensic scientist or environmental scientist. Being a forensic scientist looks very exciting to me, using biological techniques to fight crimes, and to present evidence in court to bring the victims justice. Though being influenced by a few television series, a career in the forensic field has always been appealing to me. Justice is just one of the things that I am very passionate about.
The second option was not on my mind until I followed biology classes in school. I suddenly realized that I truly enjoyed the chapters about the environment, and that I certainly would not mind learning a whole lot more about it. Studying biology will enable me to carry out research in that field and to share my knowledge with others. Working in a laboratory with other scientists is a very attractive idea to me. I would like to work towards solutions for existing problems, or even better, to find new questions yet to be answered.
I have also participated in other school projects and leadership programs. One of those projects was the European Youth Parliament. That was very useful for my debating skills, and it really made me think about the problems we have in our society today. Besides thinking about problems on a more global level, I have spent time being a part of the Student Board. That gave me a chance to defend the needs of the students, and to have influence on decisions made about us.
Outside school I like to learn new things as well. Since the age of five I have been an avid reader, and I will read any thing from the classics till modern fantasy, as long as it has got words in it. I believe that caused me to be a fast reader, which leads to better information gathering. I read books in both English and Dutch, and I believe that one should try to read a book in it’s original language. One of my other interests is computers. I have gained experience with Linux and programming languages, as well as useful contacts from all over the world thanks to the computer.
I hope that this statement shows that I am a motivated student and that I will be dedicated to my course.
