Human Sciences at UCL

I just got an offer last week (applied mid-Nov)! I'm debating between a few courses, but I'm so excited!

hellooo im an incoming y13 student and I am really considering this course for uni - what kinds of things did you add to your personal statement to get accepted? I am currently really worried about what to write in my personal statement (esp bc of the new layout) as throughout year 12 I really didn't know what i wanted to do after y13 and now im in a position where i dont have much/ any relevant work experience. I study bio, psych and business but everything i read online says not to go into academics on my personal statement. any tips???

congrats! if you dont mind me asking, what other courses are you applying to? i'm not sure apart from ucl, birmingham and durham where a personal statement on human sciences can take me. thanks!

(Evolutionary/physical/biological) anthropology and/or archaeology courses, demography and/or human geography courses, or a wide range of bioscience courses, depending exactly on how you "flavour" your PS.
You don't need work experience for this or any other academic degree. You should discuss academic topics just not what A-levels you're taking, stuff you've covered in the A-level course itself (unless as a preliminary comment to discuss something that topic led you to outside of the A-level course), nor how you think your A-levels are relevant to the course. The admissions tutors already know what A-level subjects you're taking (from the rest of your UCAS application), they know what the syllabuses for your A-level subjects are already, and they know if they are or are not relevant to the course.
What they want to see is what kind of stuff you have read about (or done) beyond the A-level curriculum of relevance to the course you're applying to. They're not looking for any specific book to have been read or topic to be mentioned, they just want to know how your intellectual curiosity brought you to that subject in the first place and how you have explored it further.

right!! i dont even do an epq i really wish i did!! ive left everything so late im now frantically looking for relevant books to read as ive only recently been made aware of human sciences and its the only degree that actually interests me now😭
