Personal statement
A personal statement is your opportunity to showcase what makes you the perfect applicant.
You may have heard announcements that the personal statement has changed from 1 longer piece of text to 3 separate questions.
These questions will allow you to create an answer that is specific to yourself and will provide a starting point to tell us about you and your achievements, helping you to give strong examples to prove you're a good fit for your chosen course.
Question 1: Why do you want to study this course or subject?
Question 2: How have your qualifications and studies helped you to prepare for this course or subject?
Question 3: What else have you done to prepare outside of education, and why are these experiences useful?
There is still a 4000-character limit which is spread over the three questions. There is a minimum of 350 characters for each question to allow you some level of flexibility.
In the video below, Alex, one of our Admissions Officers, will guide you through the new personal statement process, offering advice along the way.
