What should I include in my personal statement?

Your personal statement is an opportunity for you to demonstrate why you think you would be a good student for the programme, and why you are applying to the University of Greater Manchester. It is primarily an academic statement and you must target it towards the subject in which you are interested. We also want to know something about your general interests and any prior experience you may have in the field.

UCAS has an online guide that gives some great tips here.
