are my extracurricular activities good for top british uk uni?

My name is Siobhan and I’m a third-year student at the University of Central Lancashire. First of all, it seems like you have a lot of good experince from a range of things which is really good! The most important part about this though when applying to uni is identifying the skills you have gained form these and applying it to the course you want to do.

You should have a look at what kind of skills that you would need to work I international relations and give examples of how you can demonstrate that from your experiences. An example of this could be building critical thinking skills and collaboration from being the director of 2 politics clubs, which is essential for analysing global issues. A good thing you can use to base this off is the STAR method, so have a look at that if you can

I would also try and show a good level of understanding of the course and what your role is expected to do which is what unis will look for. Finally, I would show how passionate and dedicated you are to wanting to be on the course as this will help with your application.

I hope this has helped and please let me know if you have any more questions😊
