    What skills etc. you feel you have that will help you succeed in your chosen course.

    Any relevant experience, hobbies, qualifications.

    You're selling yourself here. Make a good impression as it could be the only chance you have to impress the people reading it.


    From the BBC:

    * Why you've chosen the course - what is it that interests you about the subject?
    * About any jobs, work experience or placements you've had in your chosen field. If these inspired you to choose this degree - tell them why.
    * About any non-accredited qualifications - did you do Young Enterprise or Duke of Edinburgh? They want to know about it, and what you learnt from it.
    * About anything else you've achieved, for example, have you got any Award Scheme Development and Accreditation Network awards?
    * About anything you're proud of that shows you can knuckle down and apply yourself - like running a marathon or raising money for charity.
    * About anything that shows you've got initiative.
    * About your future - what are you planning to do with your degree anyway?
    * If you've got any sponsorships or placements from a company already.
    * Why - if you're taking one - you're having a year out.
    * About anything interesting from your progress file or national record of achievement.
    * About your social, sports and leisure interests - they want well-rounded people after all.
