Psychology with Education undergraduate degree

Hi, just wondering if anyone could give me some advice! I'm applying for Psychology with Education at uni and I'm struggling with what to include in my personal statement.
Does anyone have any advice on what to include or has a personal statement that I could quickly look at? Thank you in advance!

TSR has a whole selection of sample personal statements for you to read.

I'd recommend finding a few articles on the news about current psychology, or if you've got the time have a look in your local/ school library to find books on psychology. Likewise, there are lots of short online courses on places like FurtureLearn and Coursera that would really stand out if you do them

Good luck!
Child development and the way children learn is what you need to concentrate on.
And what evidence you have of experience or understanding in this area.
