I got 5 offers from russell group unis for psychology and this is what i had in my personal statement:

•

what got me initially interested in psychology

•

the part of psychology that interests me the most and how i explored that outside of the classroom by reading a book and an article(and what i learned from those)

•

a psychology conference i went to

•

(not as easy to do) going to a sutton trust summer school where i basically did a week of psychology at a uni

•

the a level subjects i do and how they’ve helped develop skills relevant to studying psych at uni

•

a bit of volunteering (not psyc related) and the skills i got from that

•

and why i want to study psych at uni

Sorry that’s a lot, but hopefully it can give some inspiration :smile:

hey, im currently sitting with 5 uni offers from russel groups, I have no super curriculars at all. I focused primaraly on why I wanted to do psychology and what got my into psyhcology. I read around my A-Level Course and found books I found interesting, I really just higlighted why I think I would intrerested in studying psychology at a higher level in my personal statment.
