Architecture Personal Statement


I am clear that I want to pursue a course in the area of architecture or planning, because it will enable me
to combine the strongest aspects of my personality; a fascination with functional art and design,
particularly arrangements of light and space; enthusiasm for solving practical problems; and working with
other people. It is my desire to travel around the world and experience other cultures and broaden my
horizons. With this in mind, possessing a set of transferable skills and knowledge will be invaluable for the
future

My ambition is to go to university and do a degree in planning and transport, or in architecture

My work experience last year helped me decide that I wanted to study an area of architecture or planning.
I spent part of my time at a hospital and shadowed doctors. The second was spent with an award-
winning firm of architects, planners and engineers in Bath. Whilst I enjoyed working at the hospital, I
preferred the variety, challenge and social context of the architecture and planning practice

At school I have been an all- rounder and this can be reflected in my grades. So for A- levels, I have been
torn between arts and sciences

I opted for a balance, because I knew how important it is to express my creativeness as well as learn
more about the physical world. I have a deep interest in literature, which I would like to expand and
develop. I have confidence and am a very keen worker who will not give up until I have achieved my full
potential. I feel prepared to take responsibilities and am co- operative and willing to accept guidance
where ever it will aid my cause. I always try to be enthusiastic and find I get on well with other people and
enjoy meeting new people and experiencing new surroundings. I also have the ability, and willingness, to
listen and try to understand the viewpoints of others. I have good IT skills, which can be clearly seen in
my coursework and analytical and decision- making skills, to assess and resolve conflicting points of
view, which is vital in being a Town and country planner

I recognize the importance of having a good balance between working hard and engaging in pastimes. I
have a number of hobbies both in an out of school . Out of school I have been practicing Taekwondo, of
which I have been doing for five years and currently a black belt

This is a hobby, which I enjoy immensely and would like to in the future teach to others. I also enjoy
swimming and training at the gym

In school I have been playing the flute and I'm currently working towards grade 5. I've been going to
orchestra for about two years and have played in every concert since. I hope to continue my music
throughout my life and future career. I am also very committed- member of the school council, which I find
thoroughly interesting and enjoyable
