Personal Statement

As a year 12 student I'm currently struggling a bit with how to structure and what to include in my personal statement so if you could please give me some advice eg. what to start with, what to include in the academics section, etc then that would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there,

Hope you're well :smile:

I used this website when I was building my personal statement - here's the link if you'd like to look at it! https://www.ucas.com/undergraduate/applying-university/how-write-ucas-undergraduate-personal-statement

The main things that I focused about in mine where my skills, any extra curricular and my passion for the subject (I chose to study Law!).

I hope that's helpful,

Hello! If you prefer something a bit more audio/visual there is an excellent UCAS video on personal statement writing which you might want to share among your friends https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8hFkMAjW-I&t=1s

I show it to my students every year
