MyCambridge application personal statement

Hello, does anyone have an example mini personal statement for HSPS at cambridge? (the one you put in the supplementary form). I know its important for this course since it is interdisciplinary. Thanks!

If you feel as though your UCAS personal statement covers everything you want to say, you don’t need to fill out the additional one. Even if you’re applying to a Cambridge-specific subject like HSPS, you won’t be penalised for not completing the additional PS. All this means is that you will have to demonstrate your interest in HSPS as a whole through the interview, assuming you get offered one. It’s not very many characters anyway, so if you are struggling to fill it out, it may be better to leave it blank in this case.

Thanks although there are more things I want to mention. I only needed an example one just in order to see how it is structured.
