University Statement

Hi,

I hope you are well.

I would like your help with writing a personal statement for the University of Reading for the course Accounting and Finance. I am currently an international student completing my foundation year at Cardiff University, and I am originally from Qatar.

I would like guidance on how to structure and write a strong personal statement. From my understanding, it should include:
• Why I am interested in Accounting and Finance
• My enthusiasm for the subject
• How my previous studies relate to the course
• Any relevant work experience, placements, volunteering, or achievements
• Activities or hobbies that demonstrate relevant skills
• The qualities and skills that make me a strong candidate

I also understand that, as an international student, I should mention:
• Why I chose to study in the UK
• My English language skills and any English courses or tests I have taken
• Why I prefer studying abroad rather than in my home country

I would really appreciate your advice on how to structure it properly (introduction, main body, and conclusion) and how to make it strong and impressive for the admissions team.

Thank you
