Hi there!

There are not any specific points you must mention in personal statements for economics. However, some themes you can write about relating to economics can include:

-What is your motivation for studying economics?

-Are there any economics books you enjoy? Any talks? Podcasts? News? Etc....

-Do you have any work experience? Economics would be great, but anything else such as volunteering, NCS, Duke of Edinburgh, part time job are all amazing talking points.

-What have you done in school classrooms and outside of them? Show your passion and skills within your studies and extra curricular activities!

These are a few points that you can mention, but not limited to when writing a personal statement.

Good luck on your applications!
