歷史專業個人陳述英文范文

The purpose of historical inquiry is not simply to present facts but to　search for an interpretation of the past. The reason I want to study History is　simply that it combines the excitement of exploration and discovery with the　sense of reward born from successfully confronting and making sense of complex　and challenging problems.
 
History is fascinating because society is constantly evolving and as a　result, the history must evolve with it.  I seek enrolment in a program that not only maintains a superb reputation　　but that will also demand only the highest quality effort from each of its students. I hope that you are able to give me the privilege of continuing my　studies on the level demanded by your prestigious institution. I have applied all my abilities and diligence to getting into Oxford.
 
My aim has always been to excel in examinations, no matter how demanding　they were. I made sure I achieved straight. As in all aspects of my studies.From my strong performance in my A level history exam to my past work　experience, my background and qualifications have given me the skills to succeed　in your program.Although school occupies most of my time, I have learnt  the
rewards of contributing towards school life and have been head student for two　years. I take pleasure in debating issues that are important to me, and as part　of my contribution I set up a school debating society. This position has　improved my leadership, organisational and communication skills and, given me　the chance to combine my theoretical knowledge and my interpersonal skills to　successfully debate issues closely related to history.
 
Outside of academics, I am a keen sportsman, competitively playing hockey　and football. Last year I participated in the AA regional school athletics　finals, achieving first position. My other passion is swimming, I have been a　member of Warwickshire swimming club for nine years. One of my biggest　achievements has been taking the County Champion title and crowned the record　holder in the men’s 200m butterfly.
 
My swimming practices have also given me the chance to complete my life　guard qualification, enabling me to gain work as a lifeguard. My swimming ability also helps with my interest in scuba diving. Last summer I volunteered to assist with teaching scuba diving at a school in Italy. This experience was　extremely valuable, improving my communication skills and the appreciation of
different cultures and backgrounds.
 
For years, I have maintained a firm devotion to history. All of my experiences, coupled with a strong academic background, will allow me to embrace studying history at Oxford University.
