Mathematics & Physics Personal Statement Example 2
My enthusiasm for Mathematics and Physics comes from the fact that they are both used to further our understanding of the universe and have applications in all other areas of science. My main area of interest in Physics is particle physics as this tells us how fundamental parts of our universe interact with each other...
History & International Relations Personal Statement Example 2
The study of history is a lens through which political developments can be viewed, enabling us to see how past policies between nations have sculpted western society today.
