Personal Statement for Nature, Society and Environmental Governance

\”Your statement should be written in English and explain your motivation for applying for the course at Oxford, your relevant experience and education, and the specific areas that interest you and/or you intend to specialize in.

This will be assessed for:

-your reasons for applying
-evidence of your enthusiasm for the proposed area of study, over and above what would be expected from an undergraduate course of instruction
-the ability to present a reasoned case in English
-commitment to the subject, beyond the requirements of the degree course
-capacity for sustained and intense work
-reasoning ability
-ability to absorb new ideas, often presented abstractly, at a rapid pace.

Your statement should focus on the subject area rather than personal achievements, interests and aspirations. This might be demonstrated by, for example, having undertaken independent fieldwork or research, vacation employment in a relevant discipline, or having already made research publications or presentations.

If you have already graduated, at least some of the time since graduation should have been spent on activities related to the proposed course of study, or a sound reason why this is not the case should be given.\”
