Mathematics personal statement example 1.

I have always been fascinated by my mathematical studies and, having a flair for the subject, there was never any doubt that I would choose mathematics as a degree.

It is a pivotal subject on which so many others depend (such as physics and chemistry). I relish the challenge of problem solving that mathematics provides. For me, it is an endlessly intriguing subject, as the discipline appears limitless, allowing so much scope for further study and research.

Having studied all four branches of the syllabus, I believe I am a well-rounded mathematician. Pure mathematics is my personal favourite because of its focus on thought processes and problem solving techniques. As I am the sole candidate for further mathematics in my year group, I am studying it without support from school.

Having no lessons has meant that I have had to develop an independent, self-reliant approach to mathematics, which I believe is invaluable, especially when faced with a system of learning where the emphasis is placed on the student rather than the tutor. Due to clashes in my sixth form's timetable, I studied AS physics at a college in Leeds city centre.

Although this meant travelling several times a week during school hours, I still thoroughly enjoyed the subject, as it allowed me to apply mathematics to different situations, and I am continuing to study it for A2.

Last year, I qualified for the British Mathematical Olympiad, run by the UKMT, which I hope to qualify for again this year. I also enjoy reading books of a mathematical nature, allowing me to extend my mathematical knowledge beyond the content of my A-level courses. I recently represented the school in a national debating competition, arguing the case against the right to privacy for public figures.

I also work for the sixth form paper. I have participated in several school concerts and productions as a member of the choir and as a violinist, at which I am Grade 5. Last year, I also captained three form groups in the Year Nine Music Festival. This entailed organising a choir, an ensemble (which I conducted) and several soloists, rehearsing for several months at breaks and lunchtimes and finally performing in the competition.

I have worked voluntarily in a primary school as an assistant to the Year Four class teacher. While I was working at the school, it underwent an OfSTED inspection, as did the teacher of the class I was designated to. During one of the class inspections, I was entrusted with groups of students, teaching them how to use the data logging equipment, for which I was favourably mentioned in the report.

For the past year, I have been working part-time in the busy restaurant of a large department store in Leeds. Although not being particularly high on mathematical content, it has provided me with an opportunity to improve my ability to cope under pressure and my recent performance review has quoted me as a "hard-working, trusted and well-liked member of staff".

However, I have now finished this job in order to concentrate on my A2 studies. I would love to pursue a career in the field of mathematics and I believe my choice of institutions matches my capabilities as well as my aspirations to become a successful mathematician.

Wow - this guy clearly loves maths (how???) and it makes him sound friendly as well as clever and committed. Quite unlike that other one I read related to medicine, which sounded impressive, but quite arrogant and is really just a list of achievements. By the by, how in the world can anyone love maths so much???? I don't get it - arrgghhh!!!

I am not sure what he meant

Fri, 01/10/2004 - 00:00

I am not sure what he meant by ''qualified for BMO'' since it could either mean being qualified for BMO round 2 or being qualified to be on the British team, or indeed there is a possibility that the author was just able to participate in the round 1 of BMO, which just requires a reasonaly score in Senior Mathematical Challenge.

Wed, 10/09/2008 - 20:01

DO you not feel with the ever increasing knowledge that is being bred into us during our education that a personal statement should make your personality evident. I agree that it is important to show off you talent and abilities but what about your ability to adjust to reality and deal with the world outside mathematics, it is not just about study and the mathematical knowledge it is about being a well adjusted human being that is able to use their knowledge for social interaction. I feel that putting too much weight on one area of interest makes it apparent that the mind cannot focus past this. Being a good mathematician involves being a diverse and open mind that is able to relate to 'normal' life and application within the 'normal' world.

Listing success is not passion

Sun, 12/10/2008 - 17:41

It doesnt sound like you have passion for this subject at all, if you love maths so much that you would study it alone, why would you not demonstrate your knowledge for real life mathematics. "e" underpins many natural phenomenon's, petals from flowers sometimes grow in the Fibonacci sequence. You can shop online because two mathematicians created an algorithm that even a computer cannot break. Being able to number crunch core mathematics is not "real life" - Nowadays we lack people with flare, that dare to think differently, didnt someone say that the only difference between genius and madness is success? Oh, and 0.3% of our country study Further maths A level, its not suprising that you study it alone.

CAN I USE THE SAME ONE

why are all these people

Wed, 29/10/2008 - 17:59

why are all these people doing maths they should be doing English.I think it unfair that people with great logical minds are judged on their ability to write a statement.Mine is a joke compared to this!!!!1

none got a joke for their PS.

Wed, 05/11/2008 - 13:13

none got a joke for their PS.... if this genius got so many things to upgrade his PS... its his experiences and you should focus on your own PS with your own interests and qualifications....... anyway you gotta be the best for yourself....

Excellent PS.

Great PS, and to the person who wrote the post entitled 'Listing success is not passion' it was actually 3 mathematicians that created RSA Cryptography not 2 (hence the RSA as these letters correspond to the initial of their last names). Listing incorrect statements isn't passion either.

Mathematics Personal Statement Guide

Your Personal Statement plays a crucial role in your mathematics university application , as i t’s the first chance you have to introduce yourself as an individual to the admissions tutors .

Y ou can demonstrate your passion to study maths, show the contribution you would make to the cohort, and prove that you have the abilities and motivation to receive an offer.   

A lot of applicants struggle to write personal statements. It’s difficult to balance writing about academic interests with personal achievements, keep everything relevant to the maths courses you’re applying to, and fit it all within just over one A4 page of text.   

To help you get on the right track, our Personal Statement Guide takes you through everything you need to know to create a great maths personal statement :  

  • Why are Personal Statements Important?
  • What Should I Include in a Mathematics Personal Statement?  
  • What Should I Avoid in a Mathematics Personal Statement?  

Advice on How to Start a Mathematics Personal Statement  

Advice on how to finish a mathematics personal statement  , why are personal statements important  .

The personal statement is a written piece that you submit as part of your UCAS application. You write and submit one statement that is sent to all of your university choices, and it must fit within either 4,000 characters or 47 lines in the UCAS form (whichever limit you reach first).   

The personal statement gives Admissions Tutors a feeling of who you are as a potential student. It gives a personality to the rest of your application and helps universities decide between applicants with very similar qualifications , based on who they think is best suited to the course.   

As an applicant, you have to check certain boxes in your personal statement. You have to prove that: you have the skills to succeed on the course, you are academically curious about mathematics , and you are motivated and passionate about studying mathematics at a high level .    

This means that a successful mathematics personal statement needs to be unique, interesting, and packed full of specific interests that you have within the field of maths. If you’re applying to Oxbridge or other top-level universities, you especially need to make sure the statement is focused on your academic interests and only includes maths-relevant achievements.   

APPLYING TO OXFORD OR CAMBRIDGE? 

Our Oxbridge Private Consultations provide in-depth evaluation, strategy and next steps to achieve results for your university application. Suitable for those aged 14 upwards.

What Should I Include in a Mathematics Personal Statement ?  

A mathematics personal statement needs to cover your passion for studying maths, your academic achievements and experiences relating to maths, and your specific interests or evidence of research you’ve done within the field of math ematics.   

Passion for Studying Maths 

You need to demonstrate your passion and motivation without being general or telling a long story.   

Begin by thinking about why you decided you wanted to study maths? Perhaps you’ve always loved working with numbers, maybe you want to use maths to solve engineering or mechanical problems, or maybe you find beauty in the logic and process of pure maths proofs?   

Whatever the reason may be, it should be unique to you and a genuine reflection of why you love maths. 

Academic achievements and experiences  

You should think about what you are proud of having completed in your mathematics career so far. This could be ‘proper’ achievements like winning a maths competition or receiving a school prize, or it could be more personal, like persevering at solving a difficult problem.   

When it comes to experiences, this could be anything provided you can link it to maths (either directly or indirectly). Think about transferable skills here; for example, undertaking a law internship could be relevant if it involved lots of data handling and statistical work, as well as analytical and critical thinking.   

Specific interests and evidence of research  

The point of this element is to show that you have thought about maths beyond the classroom.   

You could discuss interesting academic books you have read, relevant news stories that relate to or involve maths, or multimedia sources like documentaries, films, or TV programmes that in some way relate to or have inspired you to pursue mathematics.   

Rather than producing a list of sources, you should pick some key examples and discuss them in depth: get to the heart of the mathematic principles involved, and engage with them on a personal level. Not only will this make for a good personal statement, but it will also help prepare you for Oxbridge interviews .

mathematics degree personal statement

What Should I Avoid in a Mathematics Personal Statement ?  

Do not be wishy-washy with your statements . Rather than saying that you have always loved maths, perhaps explain how numbers or equations fit into your world view; rather than saying you like a particular mathematician, discuss their specific contributions and how they have inspired your maths journey.   

Being specific and digging down into the academic side of maths is what is really going to impress admissions tutors.   

Avoid cliched statements like the plague . Even though you are passionate about maths, don’t state “I am passionate about maths”; find a less cliched way to say it instead.   

Your statement might require several drafts to ensure the language is interesting yet accurate, but it’s worth it: if you came up with something in a minute, then it’s likely so did lots of other applicants.  

Don’t be tempted to mention personal achievements that are not related or involve transferable skills relevant to maths. We understand that it’s tempting to include details of your Judo black belt, your gold Duke of Edinburgh award, or your prize for best history essay, but unless you can clearly argue its relevance to studying mathematics, then it won’t impress the tutors.

Register to access our complimentary e-book "So You Want To Go To Oxbridge? Tell me about a banana…"

There are a thousand different ways that you can begin a personal statement, which often makes it the most difficult part of the process.   

There’s one one-size-fits-all answer to this: some applicants begin with a quote from a mathematician that has inspired them, others start by discussing what inspired them to pursue maths at university, whilst others jump straight into a discipline that they find most interesting.   

The opening of the statement sets the tone for the entire personal statement , so it’s crucial that it’s in your own words and reflects your own personality; admissions tutors will be able to tell if it’s someone else’s words! If you’re struggling to find an opener, we recommend drafting the rest of the personal statement before coming back to write the introduction.   

This can help you have a better idea of what opening will best set the groundwork for the rest of the statement body.
