英國留學申請書範文
Dear Sir:
I am writing to you in the hope of obtaining the scholarship in history to support my study and some research work.
I am a graduate student in the Department of History in the Northeast University for Nationalities. In addition to study and research work, I also write books. Recently I have finished a book on the history of the Oroqen nationality in China, which is to be published by the World Book Publishing House in the coming year. I would like to focus on that field for my advanced studies.
Enclosed please find three letters of recommendation and my resume. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to your reply.
Respectfully yours,
Li Ming
英國留學申請書寫作技巧
1、在準備申請文書之前,一定要先擬一份草稿。
2、學校需要充分的時間稽核學生的資訊及文案,學生一定要確定好院校的申請截止日期,儘可能提前準備並提交申請,
3、通常情況下,學生並不需要在工作經歷及課外活動經驗方面下太大功夫。在申請文書寫作中,關於工作經歷的方面,學生要表達出的應該是個人能力及領導力和創新能力的優勢。
正如劍橋大學山姆博士***Sam Lucy***提到的:“我們學校並不特別看重學生的工作經驗,我們更加關注的是與你所學學科相關的任何知識及經歷。我們看重的是學生的個人能力及潛力。因此,如果學生能向我們展示他具有某一方面的專長及特別優勢,我們是非常歡迎的。”
牛津大學招生處負責人卡翠娜***CaitrionaWoolhouse***也提出了同樣的觀點,“當學生要申請頂尖大學的時候,尤其是類似於牛津大學這類的名校,我們希望學生能表現出的是至少75%至80%的優勢都體現在學術知識方面,另外20%至25%的優勢是在於課外活動的經驗方面。課外活動,包括工作經歷,也必須是與面試者所申請所讀專業相關的。”
4、申請文書切忌過分誇大個人能力及成績。
5、申請文書論證及檢查的重要性
學生必須想清楚申請院校及專業的目的,並在文書中表達出對所學專業的優點及能力,必須讓學校清楚的認識到學生對所申請專業的熱情及潛力。
UCAS系統負責人法圖瑪***FatumaMahad***也強調了這一重要性。“讓你的朋友同學及家長閱讀你的文書,他們也許可以為你提供合適的建議及看法。學生也可以試著將文書內容朗讀出來,這樣有助於讓學生髮現文書中的語言及表達錯誤。”
最後一點關鍵性的建議是,學生一定要保持誠信的態度,切忌抄襲他人的文書內容,抄襲檢查系統將會很智慧的檢查到任何作弊及抄襲行為。另外,學生在文書寫作中,一定要明確觀點及論據,要展示出申請者為何具備成功完成學業的能力,而並不僅僅是陳述出學生有多麼渴望申請所學的課程,能力是非常重要的一點。
申請文書是學生申請大學至關重要的一環,這是展現個人能力及學識的最重要的途徑及機會。學生必須要認真對待。
英國留學申請書注意事項
1、請依照學校要求字數撰寫
每所學校都會有不同字數要求,有些要求在1000字內***例如倫敦政治經濟學院LSE*** 或是600字內***KCL***,這些要求如果沒有做到,很容易就會被學校刷下了!
2、請依照學校要求內容撰寫
大部份學校要求都是需要寫申請此專業的動機,為何決定申請此學位,專業與你學業背景還有工作有和相關,未來的就業計劃。
另外,值得注意的是,英國留學文書申請比較偏向學生將學業背景還有經驗與專業做個連線。
也就是說,一定要圍繞在此專業相關的資訊,如果新增不相干的容易被刷下來。
實際例子:
LSE網頁上面清清楚楚就寫了他門不會錄用的PS內容***poor personal statement***:
“I was the captain of the school football team and excelled in most other sports. I have also worked part-time in a sports store to earn money for university.”
此句子並沒有展現沒有你對此專業以及對學習上進入大學後有任何幫助。
因此,應該要這樣修改,由此例句來對照。
“I was the captain of the school football team, and this has taught me the importance of working together as a team, and allowed me to prioritise my time between my studies and football practice. I feel that this has provided me with the experience to successfully balance my academic and social life, and I plan to continue this balance whilst at university."
這就有展現出此當足球長的經驗對你在大學學習有何幫助,你學到的東西是何物?
以下例句皆為必須避免的***轉自LSE官網***
"I have always dreamed of coming to LSE since I was young. It has been a dream of mine to study at this institution, which is well renowned for its social science courses.”
***無實際內容以及個人啟發,不受青睞。***
“I am currently studying History, English and Business and Management at Higher level and Italian, Maths and Chemistry at Standard level in the International Baccalaureate, and feel that these subjects are providing me with a solid background for university study.”
***這些你學過的科目不用在重複,因為審稿人員也可以看你的transcript 得知你所學習過的科系以及分數,這些內容只是浪費空間***
“I want to study History because I want to be a world class Historian, and feel that this degree will help me. I am especially interested in Ancient History, particularly the history concerning the Roman Empire. I am fascinated by the way in which the empire was run, and the events that led to its downfall.”
***這個是重點了! 因為LSE 沒有Ancient history 的課程,這樣寫就代表你連看課程設定都沒有,當然不會上***
“It is my dream to become an alumni of the School, and I am sure that as I am the top student of my class, you will offer me a place."
***太過傲慢,需要積極正面說說自己的好且謙虛,千萬不要自以為是***
