You might write about why you've applied for your course, what appeals to you about the subject, how you became interested, and how you've pursued it in your own time.</p> <h2>Give specific examples</h2> <p>A recent CV, or a list of your experience and achievements, can help you decide which activities to include. The key is to be selective.</p> <p>Make sure any examples are relevant to the course and university you're applying to, rather than a long list of everything you've done. Try to only write about what you've done recently, or are doing now.</p> </div> <div class="o-grid__box o-grid__box--third is-hidden@small-"> <!-- navigation object : Contact details --> <div class="c-panel c-panel--compact"> <div class="c-panel__content"> <h3>Contact us</h3> <p> <p> <i class="c-icon c-icon--envelope-o c-icon--before" aria-label="email address"></i><a href="mailto:ug-admissions@york.ac.uk">ug-admissions@york.ac.uk</a> <br> <i class="c-icon c-icon--phone c-icon--before" aria-label="telephone number"></i><a href="tel:+441904324000">+44 (0)1904 324000</a> <br> </p> </div> </div> <!-- navigation object : Related links --> </div> </div> <div class="o-grid__row o-grid__row--alt1 js-equal-height-row"> <div class="o-grid__box o-grid__box--half o-grid__box--full@tiny"> <a class="c-news c-news--excerpt js-modal js-modal--frameless" onclick="if( window.innerWidth < 500 ){ event.stopPropagation(); window.location.href = 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Li0XSffwGE'; }" " href="#media_youtube_embed_911"> <figure class="c-news__poster c-news__poster--landscape"> <img src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/7Li0XSffwGE/sddefault.jpg" alt="" width="" height=""> <div class="c-news__poster-overlay"> <i class="c-icon c-icon--2x c-icon--play"></i> </div> </figure> <div class="c-label"><i class="c-icon c-icon--before c-icon--video-camera"></i>Video</div> <h4 class="c-news__title">Nailing your personal statement</h4> <div class="c-news__teaser"> <p>Law student Sharon gives advice for the most important part of your uni application, from showing skills to avoiding distraction.</p> </div> </a> </div> <div class="o-grid__box o-grid__box--half o-grid__box--full@tiny"> <a class="c-news c-news--excerpt js-modal js-modal--frameless" onclick="if( window.innerWidth < 500 ){ event.stopPropagation(); window.location.href = 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYcjptUVJ78'; }" " href="#media_youtube_embed_25021"> <figure class="c-news__poster c-news__poster--landscape"> <img src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/DYcjptUVJ78/sddefault.jpg" alt="" width="" height=""> <div class="c-news__poster-overlay"> <i class="c-icon c-icon--2x c-icon--play"></i> </div> </figure> <div class="c-label"><i class="c-icon c-icon--before c-icon--video-camera"></i>Video</div> <h4 class="c-news__title">Personal statement tips</h4> <div class="c-news__teaser"> <p>Student Recruitment Officer Vicki gives some top tips on how best to approach writing your personal statement.</p> </div> </a> </div> <div id="media_youtube_embed_911" class="is-hidden"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Li0XSffwGE" data-autoplay="1" class="youtube-video-embed">Watch Nailing your personal statement on Youtube</a></div> <div id="media_youtube_embed_25021" class="is-hidden"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYcjptUVJ78" data-autoplay="1" class="youtube-video-embed">Watch Personal statement tips on Youtube</a></div></div> <div class="o-grid__row"> <div class="o-grid__box o-grid__box--twothirds"> <h2>Go beyond the classroom</h2> <p>To better stand out from the crowd, it's great to show how you've explored the subject in ways other than learning about it in school or college.
