Not sure what to write about in (maths/cs) personal statement

Online courses and books are great. But I think one of the most important things to write about is about your intentions as a student. what do you find intersting on the course? what do you want to specialise in? what do you want to do after uni? these kind of questions show the admissions board that you're seriously interested in the course and want to use it to your advantage.

Once you've talked about all these things you go back and give evidence of your interest. You can just say: I'm interested in this quantum computing. You need show that you are by lsiting things that you've doen to support this. This is when you list your books you've read about quantum computing or courses done etc.

Good luck!

Hey thanks so much for replying. I never thought to put why i want to study the course. Ill take your advice to heart!

Hasn't your school given you guidance on what sort of thing to write?

You can find examples on TSR and Studential ..

Further maths is greatly encouraged in top unis, so you could self study AS further maths if you want to. Building personal projects is also great-if you are doing computer science as a subject, you will have a personal project in year 13 as course work, if not you could definitely build your own project and talk about it- about what the motive was, how you built it, what methodologies you used etc. That way you can showcase your skills. You already have work experience in IT which is really good. You could also read some books to add on ur ps..and maybe research skills needed for the course and try to see if any of your extracurriculars link to the skill.
Also, could you tell me how you got the work experience in IT? I want to apply for cs in uni but I don't know how to obtain work experince. Do you apply online or ask teachers for help?
thank you!
