Natural Sciences Personal Statement Example 4

Why and How? I believe these are the two most important question words as they express mankind’s unquenchable thirst for knowledge, and they have lain the foundation of sciences and have helped us find answers and solutions to problems throughout history from the domestication of fire to Darwin’s theory of evolution, to landing on the moon and so on...

I believe the interface of physics and chemistry allows one to see nature as a whole. I find it fascinating how atoms, no bigger than a ten-millionth of a millimeter, are able not only to be the fundamental ingredients of our world but also useful to various technological improvements such as nanotechnology...

Natural Sciences Personal Statement Example 8

For a long time, I had a perception of the sciences as deeply individual, even competing fields; but I have grown to realise that I was wrong. I have since learned to appreciate and admire the interconnectivity of the sciences...

Ecology Personal Statement Example

Despite how cliché it is, I have always had a deep love for wildlife and the environment, from merely climbing the trees behind my house to being in awe at the beauty of landscapes such as the Lake District.
