Personal Statements

Our personal statement session is delivered in classroom setting and follows a linear approach as we break down the personal statement into key sections and help students think of their own examples in order to build up a strong foundation for their first draft. Each section includes practical examples so students can see how a personal statement may look and begin thinking about how to apply this to their own examples.

The session is broken down into the following sections:

• Key UCAS timeline covering all important dates students need to be aware of
• The purpose of a personal statement and why it's an important part of a UCAS application
• Super Curricular, Core Curricular and Extra Curricular experience
• Bringing it together - how to structure a personal statement

For more information on the above approach and access to online resources staff and students can go to our e-learning module that covers personal statements.
