Personal statements

Read the phrasing carefully.

Different institutions will phrase what they want to see in their personal statement differently, some examples (as of September 2013) and how you could break the wording down to ensure you address everything are below:

Example of application guidance from LSE:

You must submit a personal statement with your application form. This should be between 1,000 and 1,500 words. It should describe your academic interests and your purpose and objectives in undertaking graduate study. 

Suggestions of what to include for this phrasing:

• Outline what are your academic interests specifically
• How they are related to the course.
• How do you see the course furthering these interests?
• Do you have previous experience of studying these areas?
• Was your undergraduate dissertation, major project or a group presentation relevant to the course or your academic interests?
•  Have you attended conferences, seminars or networking events outside your studies to increase your knowledge?
• What have you learnt recently,
• and how does this link to the course you are applying for?
• Perhaps you can link your academic interests to work experience you have gained?
• Purpose in undertaking graduate study  – Why are you applying for postgraduate study? This could be linked to discussing your academic interests, or perhaps you have a career orientated goal.
• Objectives in undertaking graduate study  – What do you hope to achieve by the end of your postgraduate study, whether educationally or professionally? If you have professional objectives, how will this course help you move towards your career goal?
• What else?  – you could also include some of the suggestions in the guidelines below, but make sure you address everything in their description.

Example of application guidance from SOAS:

Your personal statement should be no more than 1,000 words. It should include the reasons why you are interested in the programme, highlight your relevant experience and suitability for the programme as well as future plans. 

• Why you are interested in the programme  – Look at the course content carefully to decide what it is that most interests you in the programme content-wise. Discuss any relevant research or coursework you might have done in the past, and include technical language or language that shows you have a grasp of the topic.
• Relevant experience  – think back to your work experience, extracurricular activities and voluntary experiences and reflect upon relevant projects you might have worked on, tasks you were set or research you conducted that demonstrates relevance to the course. You might not feel you have this experience yet, but perhaps you have worked in a relevant sector and you could show your technical and commercial understanding.
• Suitability for the programme  – Think about the skills you might need to succeed in this programme. What is your experience that makes you suitable for the programme? Perhaps you will reflect on study or research skills that you have gained, or maybe you’ll need strong negotiation, communication or presentation skills which you gained through mooting or as a student representative? If you can show you were engaged with your undergraduate university’s community then this might be a good place to mention what you did.
• Future plans  – What are your career aspirations and how do you see the course furthering these?

Writing a personal statement

If they do not specify what to include in your personal statement, areas you might want to include are below. There is no set order of when to mention what but starting your personal statement with your most relevant point is advised.

Motivations

• Why are you applying for the programme?
• What do you hope to gain from the programme?
• What is it that interests you about the subject? Can this be related to your previous education or work experience (see below)?
• What are your career aspirations and how will this course help you achieve them?

Educational experience and commercial knowledge

• Do you have past education that gives you the knowledge base you need for the course?
• Is your undergraduate dissertation relevant? Tell the tutor about it and the research methods you used (especially if applying for a research masters).
• Perhaps you like to keep up with current news in the sector you hope to go into. You could mention a topical issue and discuss how you see the course furthering your understanding.

Work experience

• Have you gained work experience in a field relevant to the course or relevant to your career ambitions? Can you link this experience to your motivation to wanting to continue studying in this field?
• Tell the tutor about this experience and reflect on how this could help with the course or use it as an example of your motivation for continued study in a related area.
• If you are a mature student returning to study, why are you returning? Are you looking to make a career change? Why, and how, do you expect the course will support your new ambition?

Other experience

• Include your extracurricular and voluntary experience too. Tutors want rounded people on their course; show that you engaged in university life during your undergraduate course or that you gained some relevant skills or experiences through volunteering.

Anything else

• You can outline your main achievements, awards or successes in competitions. Think about the course you are applying for and if there is anything they might be particularly impressed by.
• Mention relevant summer schools, overseas study or conferences/ short courses you might have attended that are related to the course.

Other circumstances

• Deferred entry – if you would like to start the course the following year explain to the course tutor what you will be doing with the next year.

Final checks

• Spelling and grammar – this will give the course tutor an idea as to your writing skills, so ensure there are no mistakes.
• Abbreviations and acronyms – explain any you have used.
• Content structure – ensure the paragraphs make sense and that the document flows well. Don’t repeat yourself by revisiting an experience or educational point.
• Don’t write a narrative of your life, from leaving school to current day.
• Be positive; don’t use negative language i.e. Although I have little experience of…
• Adhere to the word count (where applicable) or if there isn’t one, keep your statement to two to three pages of A4.

If you are already a student at LSE and would like LSE Careers to check your personal statement before you submit it please  make an appointment for a careers discussion  on CareerHub. It is also advised that if your application is fairly technically subject specific that you get an academic to check the content for accuracy.

Accounting and finance degree personal statement example (1a)

My decision to apply for a degree course in Accounting and Finance stems from my research in the college library and my career aspiration to become a chartered accountant. I particularly enjoy administrative work, numerical and statistical exercises, and opportunities to work with others as a team. I am confident that these strengths and transferable skills will be developed in a degree course, and valuable in my subsequent career

In order to get a head start, I have arranged a two-week work experience programme with Ahmed and Co accountancy, which provides services for well-known restaurants, cafes and other businesses. These two week work experience will provide me with a greater understanding of the basic skills required of an accountant, and introduce me to techniques such as cash balance appraisal, budgetary control and current cost accounting

I am currently studying A- Level ICT and History and AS- Level Urdu and Business Studies. Studying AS-Level Business Studies will provide the foundations and understanding of real life problems faced by businesses and the right solutions that are used by professional businesses in order to succeed and A-Level in ICT will give me a better understanding of advanced technology available that can be used in order to process more easily with less time consuming

I am a very active sportsman, taking advantage all sports facilities that my college provides. I have represented my college in cricket, football, basketball and cross-country and the medals, certificates and trophies accomplished can represent these. I hope to take these achievements further by representing the university in the sports facilities it will provide and by achieving more medals and trophies as possible

I believe university offers an excellent opportunity to further my learning in a challenging environment so I am applying for a degree in accounting and finance, which will enable me to acquire the skills required to understand the world of business and help me become a chartered accountant

I look forward to the challenge of a demanding degree course, and am confident that I have the personal qualities and academic motivation to make a success of it.

Dr Fatimah Zainudin from the University of Southampton’s management school is looking for 'the "chemistry" that makes an applicant shine out,’ so try and demonstrate your enthusiasm about the course and the buzz you'll get from studying it.

'What we love to see is a passion for the subject itself. If you fall in love with the subject, that’s what will lead to success on the course; it will give you the right chemistry,' she says.

Demonstrate your enthusiasm

If you can demonstrate what's sparked your interest in finance and accounting, that's a good start – but it’s no good just saying you’ve got a passion for it, you have to show it.

If you’re not the kind of person who gets very passionate about things, don’t worry. But do still try to explain what it is that attracts you to studying it. Then back it up with evidence of your relevant skills, knowledge or experiences and show that you understand something about what’s involved. That should solve it.

See our in-depth guides to studying finance or accounting at university, from typical modules to career paths, for some inspiration.

Finance and accounting personal statement must-haves

• Get the basics right: good communication skills are essential to anyone working in the finance sector, so make sure your statement is well-written. Nobody is asking for a literary masterpiece here, just a well-structured and waffle- and error-free statement.
• Interest in the subject: Sheffield Hallam University is looking for you to demonstrate 'an interest in and awareness of accounting and finance, or some level of practical experience.' Similarly, Bristol is looking for 'interest and commitment to the subject.' This means conveying enthusiasm for studying it and showing that you understand something about it, whether that comes from reading, work experience, or studying relevant topics in your A level, BTEC, or Higher course.
• Business awareness: University of Bath selectors are expecting students to have an interest and aptitude for 'quantitative analysis of business issues.' Demonstrate this with evidence that shows your abilities for applying mathematical skills to the analysis of business problems.
• Beyond the classroom: The University of Bristol is looking for 'intellectual curiosity – reading or research beyond the A level (or equivalent) syllabus.’ This is always good practice in personal statements, provided you then reflect on what you learned from your wider reading or research – they don’t just want a list.
• Relevant outside interests: if you choose to include extra-curricular activities, make sure they are relevant or showcase appropriate personal characteristics, skills, or achievements. Apply the 'so what?' test: if you play the flute or basketball, can you make that relevant to your future success at university, or should other factors take priority in your 47 lines?

Make the most of any experience

If you’ve had some work experience , that’s great. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a couple of weeks spent shadowing an accountant, a couple of hours just talking to one, a part-time job in a financial, retail, or business environment, or a scheme like Young Enterprise. What does matter is that you write about something relevant that you have learned from it. But, as Sheffield Hallam and LSE say on their websites, experience is not essential, so don’t panic if you don’t have any.

Your commitment to studying accounting or finance as an academic subject is usually the key requirement. However, if you can also show that extra ingredient of passion and a glimpse of the ‘chemistry’ that exists between you and the subject, then your application really will stand out.

LSE Masters Personal Statement for Scholarship Example/Sample (Masters in Accounting and Finance Course)

This is an example/sample/guideline Personal Statement for anyone seeking to apply to LSE for a scholarship. The sample is for their Masters in Accounting and Finance course, but can still be helpful for anyone who needs some help in preparing a Personal Statement for whatever course. The biggest take-away from this Personal Statement is that you must do two things: firstly, make it personal to YOU- avoid being general at all costs; and secondly, tie in your experiences (academically, professionally, and leadership-wise) and strengths with the course you are applying to.

The sustainability of higher education institutions is affected various things, particularly by student satisfaction and the financial stability of the institution. An analysis of student attrition and retention plays a vital role in assessing the sustainability of a higher education institution. Using suitable analysis techniques to do success profiling of prospective and current students is crucial for students and institutions alike. Success/risk estimation is essential for any higher education institution (HEI), because determining such factors can assist higher education institutions in fulfilling their obligation to provide support, guidance and interventions for their prospective and existing students. Strategic decisions in this regard, by both students and institutions, should be based on valid and reliable profiles. The validation of established profiles increases the accuracy of existing profiles and increases the efficiency of institutional strategic planning. This article reports on the validation of a success profile for first year Accounting students established by the authors of this article in an earlier study in an open and distance learning (ODL) environment at the University of South Africa.

The study investigated factors influencing success of first-year students in Financial Accounting at a South African university, thereby establishing a profile of successful and at-risk students. A two step process was followed to achieve the goals of the study. Firstly, the significance of a number of factors influencing students’ ability to succeed was statistically tested to determine the possible correlation between specific factors and students’ success. The most important factors in determining success of students in the module include average Grade 12 mark, whether students had Accounting as a subject at secondary school, class attendance, home language (Afrikaans or English), and the programme within which students were enrolled. Secondly, the simultaneous effect of all these factors was determined by means of a multivariate technique to derive a profile of successful and at-risk students. The results show general trends that could inform admission decisions and guide the im...

3 top tips for writing a great personal statement.

Estimated reading time: 10 minutes

Writing a personal statement can be a daunting challenge. I remember struggling to write my personal statement, not knowing where to even start. But it doesn’t need to be that hard! Here are my three top tips for writing a great personal statement.

1. Do your research

Personal statements are all about showing off to the university admissions team. In other words, you need to make sure you show them why the university you are applying to is right for you. One of the best ways of achieving this is through researching your university of choice and ensuring your personal statement is relevant to the programme you are applying to. For example, if a course you are applying for is more focused on a specific niche, then ensure you highlight your interest in this niche (assuming it’s true). A great place to start is by looking at the course outline of degree programmes that can often be found online. Here you will be able to find what topics are studied in the course. Touching on these topics in your personal statement is a great way of demonstrating that your interests are a great fit for the course you are applying to.

Once you have decided on which topics you are interested in and which are relevant to the courses you are applying to, you can choose which readings you want to discuss in your personal statement. These readings are key to showing you have gone beyond the school syllabus of your course and can show your interest in the subject. However, be careful to make sure that your personal statement is not simply a description of the readings that you have read. Instead, your readings discussed should act as tools and examples to back up the points you make in your personal statement.

Make sure when discussing the readings, you think critically about them. You don’t always have to agree with what the author says. In fact, disagreeing with the author can even be a great opportunity to demonstrate your ability to form your own judgements and analysis.

2. Show your Passion

One of the best tips I received whilst writing my personal statement was to show passion, don’t just say it. In other words, it is key for your personal statement to reflect your love for the subject implicitly. Instead of directly stating your interest in your subject through sentences such as “I am passionate about …”, you need to convey it.

A great way to demonstrate your passion for the topic is to illustrate how you engage with it. For example, in my personal statement, as a geography applicant, I talked about my participation in the geography society and my volunteering experiences. Here it is key to explain why these experiences are relevant to the course you are applying to, and what skills or knowledge you gained from the experience.

3. Structure your personal statement

Personal statements are a great way of demonstrating to the university admissions team that you can make clear coherent arguments in your writing. Consequently, it is very important to ensure your personal statements have a clear logical structure that supports the points you make. Moreover, as your personal statement can only be 4,000 characters it is essential that your arguments are straight to the point, as there is no room for waffle.

One of the best ways of achieving this is by organizing your personal statement into different sections, using paragraphs. There are many ways of achieving this and there is no “right” structure for a personal statement, but for my personal statement I included:

1) A short introduction as to why the course I chose is important to study, using a catchy first sentence to engage the reader.

2) A main body section, where I critically discussed some of the topics that I was interested in relevant to my course.

3) A short section at the end that talked about co-curricular activities that participated in such as Gold D of E. It is important here to not get too carried away from this last section of the personal statement, as universities will be primarily awarding places based on academic merit rather than extra-curricular activities.

Accounting & finance personal statement example 3.

From an early age the vast world of economics has fascinated me, but it was only until a couple of years ago that my vivid interest for finance was sparked.

Money is a central component of any advanced modern society and mastering its complex mechanisms may enable one to understand how humans interact as a group.

The advanced economic and mathematic studies offered by my OIB french baccalaureate gave me the opportunity to study economic matters in depth like the credit cycle, or the 2008 crisis, a subject I really enjoy and for which I have had a particular interest after reading The Trillion Dollar Meltdown by Charles Morris last summer.

It became clear that financial markets are the pivotal point of our economy and that their deregulation only intensifies crashes. In addition, I watched Professor Shiller's lectures on financial markets which revealed to me the vast fields that finance has to offer.

My interest for the industry emerged when I joined my school finance club in 10th grade. The challenge offered in this course was enjoyable and I was soon elected head of the investing group.

One of our best transactions was investing in FRX just before their 25 billions$ merger with Actavis which created the global pharmaceutical leader both in the specialised and primary care sector; and allowed for a 55% ROI on our Wall Street Survivor transaction.

This training tool gave me some insight into the basis of investing taught in this class. Yet, I found the lessons oversimplified and had to satisfy my curiosity by reading the essays of financial magnates such as Warren Buffet and Benjamin Graham.

The detailed analysis of their strategies and market theories, especially on toxic bonds and long term schemes, enabled me to have a broader understanding of financial mechanisms, investing and accounting terms, the knowledge of which was put to great use during a six month term as budget manager for my school yearbook.

As part of my school MUN team, I have attended the Harlem conference in Holland where I was voted best delegate of my committee for both my oral and written contribution on a resolution concerning agricultural aids for developing nations.

Its main focus on how corruption should be fought and financial flows controlled was greatly inspired by my french baccalaureate research paper on money laundering for which I received the highest grade.

Adapting in an international environment is a necessary skill in our interconnected world, a skill which I have acquired attending multiple MUN conferences and working alongside multinational students.

Finance is a global sector where cultural diversity can only be valued. Having been born in Germany with French parents, I have always felt connected to other people and cultures which is one of the reasons why I want to study in Britain.

My six year experience in New-York gave me great perspectives and opportunities, like an internship at State Street's risk management department, an experience that not only opened many doors, but also revealed the professional and human skills required to thrive in this environment.

At the end of the week, I was asked to present a synthesis of what I had learned to a qualified group of bankers which was a perfect way to test my ability acquired in public speaking class, summarising and presenting complex material in a very short time period.

This internship made me realise that the power of money should be used to build and not to destroy.

Following this philosophy, I decided to organise a football tournament to raise funds for LP4Y, an organisation which aids the social and professional integration of young adults living in extreme poverty. This short, yet intense experience gave me the chance to work with professionals from both the sporting and financial worlds.

Having an international background, I feel that studying at a British university would continue substantially my multicultural education.

Meet the department

Welcome to the Department of Accounting – one of the world’s leading centres for accounting and financial management research. The department was rated the top place in the UK to study accounting (Good University Guide 2024).

Our work is focused on understanding the role played by accounting in organisations, the markets and society at large. We have strong links with national and international professional bodies and regulatory institutions, and our research has contributed to shaping international accounting practices. Alongside teaching and research, the department also hosts the interdisciplinary Centre for Analysis of Risk and Regulation .

Every year, we admit more than 400 students to our undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. Our students don’t just learn about accounting principles – they learn how accounting is used in institutional and organisational processes of calculation, reporting and evaluation. This involves exploring the interdependencies between accounting and accountability, sustainability, governance, risk, performance management, policymaking and change.

We’re proud of our open and collaborative culture, welcoming students, academics, external speakers and practitioners from around the world – all contributing to our rich and diverse community.

Feedback on coursework is an essential part of the learning experience. Class teachers mark formative coursework and give feedback within two weeks – provided the work is submitted on time.

Summative assessment

This assessment counts towards your final course mark and degree award.

Summative assessment usually involves written examinations at the end of each academic year. Some courses also have written examinations in January while others are assessed partly by essays or other work submitted during the year. Assessment on individual courses can change from year to year. Learn about the current formative coursework and summative assessment for each course in the relevant  course guide .

You’ll receive feedback on any summative coursework as part of the assessment for individual courses (except for final submitted dissertations). Generally, feedback will be provided before the examination period.

Accounting and Finance Personal Statement (Anonymous 3)

This personal statement was part of the student’s successful application to LSE, University of Bath, University of Warwick, City University  and Loughborough University for Accounting and Finance.

Sometimes life reserves the right to give us nasty surprises – it throws inherently unpredictable, incalculable occurrences straight in our paths. “Black swan” events are what the academics call it. I still vividly recall my father relating to me the rise and subsequent demise of his property development venture in the late 1990s as a result of the Asian Financial Crisis. Back then I was too young to comprehend the mechanics and broader implications of such a rare, disruptive global event. However, today, I’ve begun to understand that highly overleveraged corporations, fuelled by an unsustainable investment boom at the bequest of hubristic CEOs had set the scene for the largest crisis the region had seen for decades. I am keen to understand how prudent financial management would have averted the downfall of my father’s business and how realistic investment assumptions could have driven better allocation of capital to various projects. It’s this desire that has fuelled my interest in reading Accounting & Finance at university, propelled by my belief that I can find answers through this field of study. 

At the LSE Economics & Leadership Forum recently, I was able to engage in an array of emerging issues increasingly encountered by corporates. I joined my fellow peers in deliberating the impact of technology on traditional business models and how the emergence of increasingly cost-efficient start-ups has disrupted incumbent corporations across all sub-sectors. This further piqued my interest in understanding the impact of technology in rationalising cost structures and the role of modern finance in weeding out those slow to adapt. Work shadowing an investment banker over my summer break, I saw how financial models can be applied to ascertaining the value of businesses but more importantly how valuations are largely dependent on exogenous assumptions. Reading The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham, it dawned upon me that accounting adjustments and valuation methodologies can be highly subjective, but the best investors neutralise the impact of this subjectivity by incorporating a “margin of safety” to minimise downside risk. I look forward to equipping myself with the skillset to analyse both quantitatively and qualitatively the intrinsic value of these companies vis-à-vis the study of Accounting & Finance at university.

Having a high affinity for mathematics and statistical manipulation, I relish the challenge of solving complex Mathematical problems. My exposure to Physics and British Parliamentary style debates has pushed me to think out of the box and come up with creative solutions to complex issues at a moment’s notice. I am thrilled that Accounting & Finance allows me to apply Mathematics to solve problems that form an integral part of everyday life. Decisions ranging from which mortgage to take up as a first time buyer to allocating and diversifying your personal investment portfolio all revolve around financial theory. The opportunity for practical application of these theories thoroughly excites me. 

Having juggled multiple leadership positions of high responsibility in high school and now at college, I pride myself in being results-oriented and meticulous in execution. As Vice President of my school choir club and having held senior leadership positions on the School Prefectorial Board, I’ve learned how to lead a team under immense pressure but also to listen and act on the feedback of others. Being recognised as an Outstanding Leo Member, I am struck by the importance of giving back to the community and have used my involvement as a platform to raise funds in aid of underprivileged children in the rural outskirts of Malaysia. In my own small way, I believe that I’ve inspired others as much as I’ve been inspired to become more and that’s especially meaningful for me. At university, I want to be challenged further and to ultimately apply my knowledge in creating a positive change for my people.

How many years....

How many years do you think we are away from full scale production (4 - 5 yrs)?

Would be interesting if Linde bought us out pre-production based on the asset value. Exciting times lay ahead that's for sure!

Lorna wants production by end of 2025… full scale is impossible to answer as what is full scale? We didn’t even know yet

Full Scale (IMHO) is the refining and splitting of the individual elements and selling them on to a supply chain = Positive cash flow.
