TWO personal statements?

I had aways been under the impression that univeristy applicants can only submit one personal statement, and never doubted this. Yet last weekend I was at the Durham open day and told one of the tutors I was going to apply to Spanish and French at some unis but Spanish and Russian at others - on this, she told me that ucas now allowed students to submit two personal statements if they were applying to two different courses. When I got home and looked this up I could find no information saying that this is the case and I'm now extremely confused. Does anyone know more?

The tutor was wrong. You can only submit one personal statement, the only counter example I know of is Cambridge where you can write a Cambridge specific personal statement and submit it with you additional information outside of ucas.

You can only send one personal statement through UCAS, unless you have a seperate, unofficial personal statement that you're sending to the university direct (but you need to have agreed this with the uni beforehand)
