干貨！帝國(guó)理工PS你該做到哪些細(xì)節(jié)。

Putting together a personal statement can be tricky! Every year, we speak to lots of applicants about what we expect and what we are looking for in the finished piece – it’s something we get asked about a lot!

‘What should I talk about in my personal statement?’

‘How can I make my personal statement stand out?’

‘How long should my personal statement be?’

Fear not! We don’t tend to have strict rules or regulations as such when it comes to the personal statement – so chances are, you’re on the right track already. That being said, we do have our own tips and guidelines that we like to share, so read on for our full insight!

寫個(gè)人陳述可能會(huì)很棘手， 每年，我們都會(huì)與很多申請(qǐng)者討論我們對(duì)于最終個(gè)人稱述的期待和要求，同樣這也是我們常常被問到的問題。

‘我在個(gè)人陳述中應(yīng)該談?wù)撌裁矗俊?/p>

‘我如何使我的個(gè)人陳述脫穎而出？’

“我的個(gè)人陳述應(yīng)應(yīng)該寫多長(zhǎng)？”

不要怕， 就個(gè)人陳述而言，我們通常沒有嚴(yán)格的規(guī)定，因此您可能已經(jīng)寫對(duì)了。話雖這么說，但我們確實(shí)想和你分享寫作技巧和指南，請(qǐng)繼續(xù)閱讀以獲取我們的完整建議！

Why does Imperial College Business School ask for a personal statement?

帝國(guó)理工學(xué)院商學(xué)院為什么要求個(gè)人陳述？

Quite simply, we ask for a personal statement because we want to know about you. All aspects of your application are important, but many areas tend to be factual and to the point. The personal statement is your opportunity to expand and tell us more about who you are, and what your motivations are for applying to Imperial. Our programmes are hugely competitive, so we often rely on the personal statement to help us understand your profile and fill in any missing pieces from our assessment.

很簡(jiǎn)單，我們要求提供個(gè)人聲明，因?yàn)槲覀兿肓私饽?。您的申?qǐng)?jiān)馗鱾€(gè)方面都很重要，許多方面往往都是事實(shí)，且切合實(shí)際。個(gè)人陳述是展示你自己的機(jī)會(huì)，告訴我們更多關(guān)于你是誰，以及你申請(qǐng)帝國(guó)理工的動(dòng)機(jī)是什么。我們的課程競(jìng)爭(zhēng)非常激烈，所以我們經(jīng)常依靠個(gè)人陳述來了解您的情況，并補(bǔ)充我們?cè)u(píng)估中任何缺失部分。

What makes a good personal statement for Imperial College Business School?

對(duì)于帝國(guó)理工學(xué)院商學(xué)院(Imperial College Business School)來說，什么才是一份好的個(gè)人陳述呢?

It helps to think about what you have not told us in your application already and treat this as a priority. Ideally, your CV and academic history should have already given us a good idea of your achievements to date, so be sure to tell us why you are pursuing postgraduate study and why you have chosen your programme of interest. You should be able to link your past experiences to your suitability for the programme and expand on anything else that is relevant.

它有助于讓你思考那些你在申請(qǐng)中沒有體現(xiàn)的東西，并且可以把其作為重點(diǎn)來闡述。

理想情況下，你的簡(jiǎn)歷和學(xué)術(shù)經(jīng)歷應(yīng)該已經(jīng)讓我們對(duì)你迄今為止的成就有了一個(gè)不錯(cuò)的了解，所以，在個(gè)人稱述里一定要告訴我們你為什么要讀研究生，為什么要選擇你感興趣的課程。

你要將你過去的經(jīng)歷與你是否適合這個(gè)項(xiàng)目聯(lián)系起來，并詳述任何其他相關(guān)的內(nèi)容。

Be sure to include any quirky or standout experiences that you think make you unique! We love to hear about all the interesting things that applicants have done and achieved, and this is a great way to differentiate yourself from other candidates.

一定要包括任何奇特的或突出的經(jīng)歷，這會(huì)使你更加獨(dú)一無二！我們喜歡聽到申請(qǐng)者所做過的所有有趣的事情，這是一個(gè)讓你從申請(qǐng)者中脫穎而出的好方法。

Show us that you have done your research fully and that you have a clear passion and drive for your programme. We want to know how the programme will benefit you and how you will make the most of your time at the Business School. If you are submitting a second-choice programme as part of your application, it’s best to write your personal statement with your first choice of programme in mind. Should we require an updated version of your personal statement at any stage, we will contact you directly via email.

向我們展示你已經(jīng)做過的充分的研究，你對(duì)你的項(xiàng)目有明確的熱情和動(dòng)力。

我們想知道這個(gè)項(xiàng)目對(duì)你有什么好處，同時(shí)你將如何充分利用在商學(xué)院的學(xué)習(xí)時(shí)間。

如果你提交了第二個(gè)專業(yè)的申請(qǐng)，那么你最好能夠在個(gè)人稱述中提及你申請(qǐng)的第一個(gè)專業(yè)。

如果我們?cè)谌魏坞A段需要您的個(gè)人陳述的更新版本，我們將直接通過電子郵件與您聯(lián)系。

Be clear about your goals. Elsewhere in your application, you are required to complete our Career Section, with details of your immediate career goals after graduating – so you don’t need to overly repeat this. Perhaps you could use the Personal Statement to tell us about how your programme fits into your long-term career plan, or any long-term objectives you have relating to your chosen area of study.

明確你的目標(biāo)。在你申請(qǐng)的其他地方，你需要完成職業(yè)規(guī)劃的部分，這些包括你畢業(yè)后的近期職業(yè)目標(biāo)的細(xì)節(jié)，因此你不需要過度重復(fù)這些。也許你可以用你的個(gè)人陳述來告訴我們你的課程如何來滿足你的長(zhǎng)期職業(yè)規(guī)劃，或者任何你所選領(lǐng)域的長(zhǎng)期目標(biāo)。

Is there anything I should not write about in my personal statement?

我的個(gè)人陳述中不應(yīng)該寫些什么嗎？

Try not to get too caught up with university rankings or facts about the Business School – we want to hear about you, not us! It’s good to talk about the programme content but avoid simply relaying this information back to us. Focus instead on what interests you the most and how you plan to build on past study.

盡量不要強(qiáng)調(diào)大學(xué)排名或有關(guān)商學(xué)院的事實(shí)-我們想聽到關(guān)于你獨(dú)到的信息。 討論項(xiàng)目的內(nèi)容是件好事，但要避免將這些信息簡(jiǎn)單地傳達(dá)給我們。相反，應(yīng)將重點(diǎn)放在您最感興趣的方面以及您打算如何在過去的學(xué)習(xí)基礎(chǔ)上發(fā)展。

Don’t waffle - keep it concise! We recommend one side of A4 as the optimum length, but we wouldn’t penalise for going over. We also don’t have a preference for font style or format, just keep it professional and easy to read.

不要胡扯！保持簡(jiǎn)潔！ 我們建議一頁A4是最佳長(zhǎng)度，但是我們不會(huì)因?yàn)槌^字?jǐn)?shù)而產(chǎn)生偏見。同時(shí)，我們對(duì)字體的樣式或格式也沒有偏愛，但是要保持其專業(yè)性并且要易于閱讀。

Check, check, and check again! It’s the golden rule; make sure your personal statement is free from any spelling or grammatical errors. Copying and pasting from any other personal statements you have written, such as one to another institution, is a risky game – don’t reference another university and be sure to use the correct programme title!

檢查，檢查，然后再次檢查！這是黃金法則； 確保您的個(gè)人陳述沒有任何拼寫或語法錯(cuò)誤。把個(gè)人陳述從一所學(xué)校復(fù)制下來去申請(qǐng)另一所學(xué)校是很冒險(xiǎn)的行為，也不要嘗試去引用另一所大學(xué)的個(gè)人稱述，并且確保使用正確的課程項(xiàng)目名稱！

Hopefully, we have given you some good ideas to get you started. We know that submitting an application, and writing a personal statement in particular, can take a great deal of time – but it is worth all of your efforts and important to get it right. Best of luck if you are submitting an application, and we look forward to reading your personal statement soon!

希望我們?yōu)槟峁┝艘恍┖玫慕ㄗh，以幫助您入門。我們知道，提交申請(qǐng)，尤其是撰寫個(gè)人聲明可能會(huì)花費(fèi)大量時(shí)間，但是這是值得您全力以赴的，并且也要保證正確無誤。祝您好運(yùn)，如果您正在提交申請(qǐng)，我們希望盡快閱讀到您的個(gè)人稱述！
