在上期分享中，申学君为大家详细介绍了个人陈述开头部分的写作方法，相信不少还没动手准备文书的同学已经跃跃欲试了。

为了让大家都能写出让自己满意的个人陈述，申学君决定在接下来几期分享中，带领大家详细了解个人陈述各个部分该如何去写。

所以，如果你还在纠结如何写出一篇合格的个人陈述，或者在担心写好的个人陈述不能帮自己的申请加分，那么请保持关注申学君，相信会给大家带来不一样的收获！

申学君之前说过，在个人陈述开头部分中，申请者需要表达出自己申请目标课程的动机，这种动机可以是申请者对申请领域的兴趣，可以是申请者在申请领域的目标，也可以是申请者在目标领域的优势。

按照个人陈述的常规写作顺序，在开头部分介绍完申请动机之后，接着就要开始学术背景部分的写作。

在学术背景部分中，申请者需要介绍自己在以往的学习过程中（主要是本科学习），已经完成了哪些与申请领域相关的学术上的准备。通俗地说，就是表明在兴趣、目标、优势的推动下，自己已经学习了哪些相关知识或者掌握了哪些相关技能。

那么到底在学术背景部分，我们可以放一些什么内容呢？

既然是学术上的准备，那么最重要的一点肯定就是以往学习过的课程。申请者可以列举已经学习过的与申请领域相关的课程的名称、学习内容以及学习收获（课程成绩不建议写进个人陈述，因为招生官能从成绩单上获取申请者每门成绩的课程，放在个人陈述中就显得多此一举）。

对于有出国交换学习经验的申请者而言，除了可以写在自己国内学习期间修读过的课程，也可以写在国外学习过程中的收获。

在描述完相关课程的学习之后，可以接着描写自己对课程知识的理解和运用，比如学习了某个理论，然后利用这个理论做了一些课外探索或者研究之类。

当然，除了课程的学习，学术背景部分还可以涉及一些其他课外形式的学习，比如说学习技能、阅读课外书籍、参加课外讲座、参加学术项目以及参加学术比赛等等。

总之，只要是申请者通过某种方式学习到的与申请领域相关的知识、技能、理解、感悟，都可以放在个人陈述的学术背景这部分。

下面，申学君将会根据内容分类，为大家介绍几种主要的学术背景部分写法。

写法一：只介绍相关课程的学习

如果本科阶段学习的课程与申请领域非常吻合，则比较适合在学术背景部分主要介绍本科相关课程的学习内容和学习收获。

范例：

Discovering my avid interest in finance, I have enjoyed the undergraduate program with great excitement. Besides laying for us a solid theoretical foundation, the applied curriculum also focuses on equipping us with hands-on abilities to analyze financial phenomenon and make decisions considering problem solving. For instance, in the course Financial Markets and Institutions, under the topic of 1997 Asian Financial Crisis, I made analysis of the pros and cons of some controversial issues such as financial openness and fixed exchange rate system, which enhanced my critical thinking and enlightened me about financial policy making from broad perspective. In Equities and Investment Analysis, I collaborated with other fellow students to work on the asset allocation of two domestic banks in the last four years. We applied computer to process mass financial data and to make investment opportunity set and capital allocation line, from which we figured out the optimal risky portfolio. The project experience has furthered my understanding and application of securities formulas and more importantly revealed to me the fantastic financial operation within a company from micro perspective.

段落大意：首先，申请者总地概括到本科阶段的学习不仅让自己打下坚实的理论基础，也让自己有能力分析并且解决问题。接着，申请者举例分别介绍了自己在两门专业课程中的学习经历，以及在这两门课程中自己知识和能力上的收获。

写法二：介绍国内本科课程学习 介绍交换项目课程学习

如果有出国交换学习的经历，非常建议把这部分的经历写进学术背景部分。不过需要注意的是在国外学习的内容应该与申请领域相关，并且与国内学习的内容形成一种互补或者加深的关系，而不是一种重复的关系。

另外，在学术背景部分可以突出自己在学术上取得的优秀成绩，以此来证明自己不仅做过与申请领域相关的学术上的准备，而且这个准备工作做得非常充分非常出色。

范例：

I started my sophomore year study in the International 2 2 Undergraduate Program, which is jointly delivered by Jilin University in China and University of Kentucky in United States. At Jilin University I accomplished fundamental courses in the Business Administration (Strategic and Operational Management) program that exposed me to the philosophies and logic of optimal decision making. I developed the ability of systematic thinking in analyzing different business circumstances. Particularly, I enjoyed a course Data Analysis and SPSS Applications. This course taught me to extract information from data evidence and conduct estimation for the future trend with methods in statistical analysis and modeling, which fit perfectly with my ideal practices of financial risk management. The knowledge structure I developed at Jilin University has served as an important asset for my academic journey in United States, where I extensively cultivated the quantitative skills and ability business case analysis. Specifically, the courses Intermediate Accounting, Technology for Business Solution, and Managerial Uses of Accounting Info granted me the ideal skill set to evaluate risks with in-depth business insights and technological tools like ERP and Bloomberg. I continued to achieve progression of my academic performance, and received the Dean’s List and Academic Excellence Scholarship from University of Kentucky.

段落大意：申请者首先介绍了自己本科就读的是吉林大学和美国肯塔基大学合作的2 2项目。然后，申请者写到自己在吉林大学工商管理项目锻炼的决策能力和分析能力，以及在Data Analysis and SPSS Applications这门课程中学习到的风险管理方法。在介绍完在吉林大学的学习之后，申请者开始介绍在肯塔基大学的学习经历。在肯塔基大学，申请者培养了定量分析能力和案例分析能力，并且学会用不同的工具和商业洞察力分析风险。最后，申请者提到自己由于优异的表现获得了奖学金。

写法三：介绍相关课程学习 相关技能学习

在学术背景部分的写作中，除了介绍本科阶段相关课程的学习，也可以介绍自己掌握的与申请领域相关的技能或者取得的相关证书。如果申请商科，可以介绍掌握的数据分析类软件；如果申请工科，可以介绍掌握的绘图软件和变成软件；如果申请传媒，可以介绍掌握的设计类软件，以此类推。

范例：

I study two degree programs, namely Mathematics and Applied Mathematics (Financial Mathematics) and Finance at Central University of Finance and Economics. As a double degree pursuer in this national leading institute for finance study, I enjoyed an interdisciplinary study process covering both the width and depth of scientific and analytical aspects in finance. Quantitative courses like Numeric Analysis, Ordinary Differential Equation, Stochastic Process and Time Series Analysis are my favorites as they never failed to impress me with elegant mathematical deductions and neat and straightforward interpretation of data. In my second degree in Finance, I consistently enjoyed using relevant quantitative contents to fulfill tasks like financial modeling, asset pricing, and portfolio analysis etc. Nevertheless, I realized that in many occasions, financial data will be chaotic, requiring us to identify rules out of complexity and dynamics. In this case, I immersed myself in the training of computer instruments including SPSS, SAS, MATLAB, R, Python, and C . In addition to enjoying the convenience these tools brought in course projects, I used them to conduct several interesting investigations. For instance, I used the Genetic Algorithm to develop a portfolio selection strategy for investment in the A-Share and H-Share markets. As I perceive, the immersion in mathematics can offer me great edges to analyze more complex scenarios in finance and beyond.

段落大意：申请者首先提到自己本科阶段学习了数学和金融两个方面的课程。然后，申请者介绍了一系列数学课程，提出自己在这些课程中学会用数学推导结论和分析数据。利用所学的数学方面的技能，申请者完成了一些金融学中的难题，比如金融建模、资产定价等。接着申请者用一个过渡句表明自己同时也掌握了SPSS、SAS、MATLAB、Python等计算机技能，这些技能让自己能够分析更庞大更复杂的金融数据。

写法四：介绍相关课程学习 对课程所学知识的运用

学术背景部分的写作中，可以先描述自己在课程学习过程中学习到的知识或者技能，再描述自己对所学知识或者技能的运用。所学知识和技能可以用于自己主动发起的研究、参加的学术比赛、参加的学术项目等。

范例一：

At Syracuse, I enjoyed the highly demanding undergraduate study in the double major program of Finance and Supply Chain Management. These two subjects share many interesting concepts and philosophies, and the most appealing one goes to their emphasis on the optimization of the entire system. The philosophy of optimization requires practitioners to pay attention to the business chain and carefully evaluate every possibility and different risks, so as to put forward the ideal solutions. I particularly embraced this philosophy to investigate in financial management and investment in corporate level through courses like Corporate Finance, Investment, Decision Tools for Management, and Fixed Income Securities etc. When collaborating with peer students to conduct projects in these fields, I never hesitated to take greater responsibilities. For instance, I have led a team of 5 members to compete in the Whitman College capstone case competition, taking responsibility to analyze the given enterprise’s financial practices from the strategic vision. We successfully achieved the first place in the college. My final GPA in Whitman is 3.527. I have been rewarded with the Dean’s List in three consecutive years and the membership in Phi Eta Sigma National Honor Society.

段落大意：申请者在前半部分介绍了自己在金融和供应链管理双专业的学习中找到了共通的理念，自己用这个理念来进行对申请领域相关方面的探索。接着在后半部分，申请者描写了自己参加相关比赛并且获奖的经历。

范例二：

Embracing the learning experience in Financial Mathematics in both Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University, China, and University of Liverpool, UK (2 2 Program), I have enjoyed a well-rounded curriculum covering key topics in finance, investment and mathematical analysis. I utilized the intense mathematical and financial training to gradually shape my systematic analytical skillset and awareness to various financial practices, and seek the beautiful combination of the two. In the financial world, many practices can be described and analyzed by mathematical languages. For instance, the operational research modeling can facilitate the optimal allocation of assets and liability, and stochastic analysis helps us better understand the non-linear features of the stock market. I have tested my analytical skills through investigation in data sets of LME and NYBOT; I have also conducted several comparisons concerning equity markets in China and other nations. I am a promising first-class honor degree receiver at University of Liverpool, and I deem that the undergraduate learning experience has made me an agile and competent individual with a strong will and comprehensive abilities to spot opportunities in the finance world.

段落大意：申请者首先表明在金融数学的学习过程中，自己学习了金融、投资和数学分析等各方面的知识，并且形成了自己系统的分析技能以及对各种金融活动的认知。同时，申请者也认识到数学可以用来分析金融活动，并且举例说明。接着，申请者描述了自己如何用所学知识探索具体金融活动。

写法五：介绍相关课程学习 介绍相关书籍/讲座。

这种写作方式比较适合本科阶段的学习与申请领域没有太大关联的申请者。这类申请者可以通过写看过的相关书籍和参加过的相关讲座，来证明自己在申请领域打下的学术基础。

比如说有一位英语专业的申请者，想要申请金融专业，但是他本科阶段并没有修读金融相关课程，那么他便可以选择在学术背景部分写自己看过的金融类书籍和参加过的金融类讲座。

范例：

At Guangzhou Medical University (GZHMU), I am undergoing a fulfilling learning process in LLB in Department of Law. In the past three years I have completed a spectrum of law courses including International Economic Law, Administrative Law and Procedural Law, Criminal Law, Commercial Law, Contract Law, Intellectual Property Law, etc. All these courses lay me a fundamental understanding of specific laws and more importantly, equip me with a critical way of thinking. The LLB study offers me many opportunities to get engaged in an array of group projects, case study seminars, and presentations to rapidly elevate my legal acumen and analytical mindset. I also joined a number of legal lectures jointly organized by my university and different reputed professors or legal practitioners to obtain industry insights in an enjoyable way. In such a unique environment, I was motivated to develop career assets that benefit my long-term sustainable growth in the professional career of law. In specific, my collaboration skills, communication skills and legal analysis skills have been trained extensively.

段落大意：申请者先后介绍了自己在本科阶段各种学习方式：修读法律类课程、参加小组项目、参加案例分析、课堂演示以及参加法律类讲座。

学术背景部分写作中应当着重强调的地方有两点，第一点是学习内容应该与申请领域相关，第二点是学习到的内容应该具体描述出来。很多DIY申请者在学术背景部分写作中都会疏忽上述两点。

那么，如果不注意以上两点要素，就会产生如下所示的结果。

反面案例一：

Earning myself a ticket into South China University of Technology (SCUT), which is a top ranking “985” and “211” project university in China with a satisfactory score in the National College Entrance Exam has meant something of my academic potential already. Plus, my GPA of 3.73, which is the fourth place out of forty three fellow students in the same department, could prove my learning capacity and efforts. Besides, majoring in Business Management at my bachelor study, I have equipped myself with the fundamental knowledge in finance and economics during the past years. Driven by a strong passion for economics and finance, I managed to obtain full GPAs for nearly all compulsory courses related to these two fields, such as Accounting, Financial Management, and International Financial Management. Meanwhile, I made a conscious choice to compensate my lack of finance and economics exposure by choosing as many as elective courses in this discipline as possible. The close relations between the finance and economics field and management further motivate my thirst to pursue further study.

段落大意：申请者用前三分之一的内容描写了自己优秀的学习能力；然后用中间一大部分的内容描写了自己学习了金融和经济的一些课程，打下了一些基础；在最后，申请者表示本科的学习激发自己对硕士学习的渴望。

在这段学术背景描写中，申请者没有注意第二点要素，也就是没有把学习到的内容具体描述出来。申请者想要在硕士阶段申请金融相关专业，那么列举自己修读过的金融和经济课程没有错，但是只是一味地列举课程，并没有表现出来自己具体学到了什么知识或者提高了什么技能，这样就显得内容不够饱满，没有说服力，不能让招生官相信你在金融领域已经有过充分的学习。

此外，申请者在描写自己优秀的学习能力方面用了太多笔墨，特别是提到高考的成绩，甚至显得有些牵强。在学术背景部分提及学习成绩来证明自己的学习能力，这样写不是不行，但是不应该用太多笔墨，避免本末倒置。

反面案例二：

I am currently studying at Jinan University, which has a long history, profound cultural background and prominent international features. Upon entering college, I had encountered minor difficulties in adjusting, but I gradually adapted to college life and study, and my academic results steadily improved. I have laid solid foundation in cultural studies, and gained excellent score in courses, such as Introduction to Cultural Industry (89), Cultural Industry Management (87), Introduction to Culture Analysis (92), Managerial Cases of Culture Industry (86), Outlines of Western Culture (94), and Western Culture and Manners (95). In order to gain social research experience, I participated in the “Challenge Cup” Student Curricular Academic Science and Technology Contest with the project of “An Analysis on the Current Development Status and Problems of Island Education: A Case Study of Nan’ao County”. Our project won First Prize in the contest. Through collecting data, conducting interviews, organizing seminars and preparing analytical report, I grasped methods and techniques necessary for research studies.

段落大意：申请者先表明自己进入大学后慢慢适应大学生活并且逐步提高成绩，接着列举出自己修读过的一系列文化研究方面的课程来证明在这方面的基础。在后半部分，申请者通过描述自己做过的一个“挑战杯”项目，来证明自己学术研究方面的能力。

和上面的例子一样，申请者只用了不到一半的内容写了与申请领域相关的东西，而且也只是单单在列举课程，没有具体描述学习内容。另外后半部分提到的学术研究与申请领域完全不想关，申请者之所以提及，只是为了证明自己的学术研究能力，完全是无效内容。

反面案例三：

During my undergraduate study, I majored in Electronic Commerce (Operation Management) at Xiamen University Tan Kah Kee College from September 2013 to July 2017. I distinguished myself academically with great diligence in my professional courses, such as Planning, Network Marketing, Marketing Principles, and Web Programming. I was honored to rank top 11 out of 87 students of my class and to be awarded six different scholarships. In addition, I participated in an exchange program at National Central University in Taiwan. This new environment challenged me towards quick adaption to the unique teaching methods of Taiwan. I was blessed and fascinated by the many cultures represented and was greatly strengthened in my English capabilities.

段落大意：申请者用前半部分说明自己在本科阶段学习很努力，取得了好成绩，然后用后半部分说明自己在台湾的交换学习中适应得很快并且提升了英语能力。

这个例子的问题就更大了，申请者全程都在自卖自夸自己的学习成绩是如何优秀，完全没有提及与任何领域的学习有关的字眼。

以上就是关于个人陈述学术背景部分讲解的全部内容啦！

相信在了解各种内容写法并且清楚了两点写作要素，大家一定都能根据自身情况创作出高质量的文书！
