Personal statement examples by subject: complete list
Take a look at how other students have written their personal statements
When you're writing your university personal statement, a little inspiration can be handy.
On The Student Room, we have hundreds of real personal statements written by students when they applied for university in previous years.
You'll find all of these listed below, in order of subject.
For more help with writing your personal statement, our personal statement section is a good place to go. You can also find tips and discussion in the personal statement advice forum.
If you've already been to university, you can add your own personal statement to the library to help others.
And don't forget our sister site The Uni Guide, which has expert advice on getting your personal statement sorted.
