Where can I go for help with my personal statement?
The personal statement is your opportunity to show universities you are applying to that you are the ideal candidate for their course. It should be all about you – why you’re interested in the course, what makes you unique and what makes you stand out.
With only one personal statement for all your choices, it’s important that you use this opportunity to show why you’re better than everyone else applying and why we should choose you.
But where do you start? What do you say? What should be your opening sentence?
There are good and bad personal statements, so read our guide to help make yours the best it can be; Writing a Personal Statement - Durham University .
