    I have a question: would it still be beneficial for someone who wants to do Law at a Scottish university to attend UNIQ at Oxford, where English Law is different? Thanks
    If a student is set on doing Law at a Scottish university then perhaps a Scottish summer school would be more appropriate?

    We would hope that those who apply to UNIQ are genuinely interested in applying to Oxford University and looking to know more, especially as spaces are extremely hard to come by.

    I would apply to a Scottish summer school but St Andrews is the only Scottish university to offer it, and they don't do Law.

    You still might stand a chance with it as chem is one of the courses with more places and it's not 'til the beginning of august Just out of interest, how long was your uniq personal statement thingy? 'Cos mine was only 1200 characters and I couldn't think of anything else to put in it :/ Dunno how i'm going to do a 4000 character one for ucas... oops ;D

    I honestly can not remember but it can't have been very long I would say probably around 1200 too. I suggest starting the personal statement early then if it's looking bare you know to get involved in more to beef it up

    Hi,
    Did you confirm your non-attendance? If you did not let us know either way, we would not have sent you the documents.

    In summer school news:
    If anybody is interested in applying for 2013 summer schools do check out our website www.uniq.ox.ac.uk and sign up for the newsletter as we can send you updates as soon as we know more.

    Went on this in 2011, it was by far the best week of the year! I believe it really helped me get a place at Cam
