对于准备申请英国大学经济学（Economics）专业的同学来说，写好Personal Statement（PS）是冲刺G5等名校的一块重要敲门砖。UCAS官方发布了最新的2026入学经济学专业PS写作指导，帮助你一步步构建出一篇能打动招生官的申请文书～~
01如何写好一篇经济专业PS？
第一步：解释你为什么想学习经济学
这是你展示热情、兴趣与学术契合度的机会。要清晰回答：经济学对你而言意味着什么？为什么它适合你的未来发展？
是某位人物、新闻事件、纪录片或播客激发了你的兴趣？
你是否有明确的职业目标（如商业分析、政策研究）？
你具体对经济学哪些部分感兴趣？为什么？
你目前掌握了哪些相关知识？未来又期待深入学习什么？
案例：
If you’ve already been studying economics at A level (or equivalent), talk about an area of the course you’ve found especially interesting. Try and show some understanding of economic theory.
Reflect on something that has given you an insight into local, national, European or global economic issues, and explain what interests you about it. Maybe you were fascinated by the market’s response to the UK’s fast-changing political landscape over the last few years, or how the war in Ukraine affected the global economy.
Demonstrate that you have a real interest in economic principles and concepts. You could relate it to modules you’d study during your degree. Mention what especially appeals to you about the course you’ve chosen.
If you haven’t studied economics before, explain what has inspired your interest in it.
If you can, explain how your degree choice fits with your future ambitions and career aspirations. If you know you want to be a business analyst, for example, say so.
第二步：说明你为什么适合学习经济学
招生官不仅看你“想学”，更看你“能学”。这是展示学术准备与可迁移技能的核心部分。
你是否做过经济学相关的论文、项目、EPQ或暑期课程？
数学和统计背景如何？概率、数据分析或建模方面有哪些积累？
是否通过竞赛、社团或课外阅读扩展了知识？
你的学习经历中有哪些细节能支撑你未来在大学里成功？
案例：
Show an appreciation of mathematical concepts. If you’ve studied maths, highlight what you enjoyed about probability, statistics, or a project involving qualitative data, and how that might relate to an economics degree.
If you’ve undertaken an economics-related project, Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) or summer school, reflect on any insights this has given you.
Think of skills you’ve picked up during your studies and how they’ll relate to being an economics student, such as self-motivation, teamwork, the ability to think logically, effective time management, good communication, or problem-solving skills.
Have you done any online courses to boost your knowledge in the subject? For example, why not try Subject Spotlights or Virtual Work Experiences from Springpod to grow your skills and interest?
第三步：展示你更广阔的视野与个人经历
这是让PS更“立体”的部分。经济学不是纯粹的书本学科，你可以用生活、实习、兼职和兴趣爱好来证明你的适配度。
有没有经济相关的实习或兼职？即便在不同领域，依然能体现技能迁移。
哪些兴趣爱好能侧面展现你的坚持、合作、时间管理？
有没有生活经历或家庭背景塑造了你对经济的理解和热情？
你对未来职业目标有怎样的想象？学习经济学能如何助力？
案例：
What things have you done that are relevant to economics or demonstrate the skills and qualities tutors are looking for? Maybe you’ve learned about financial analysis through helping a parent or guardian with their small business, or perhaps you’ve carried out some market research for an online side hustle.
Talk about your wider reading and pick out one or two specific issues that had an impact on you – try and choose something slightly more obscure, such as Tom Chivers’ Everything Is Predictable, rather than a book everybody will reference.
What hobbies do you have that show you’re motivated outside school, and prepared to succeed in something you’re interested in? Whether that’s progressing in a sport, music, chess or computer programming.
