Year 12: Preparing For Your Personal Statement
If you're thinking about going to University, it is a great idea to start preparing early for your personal statement. 📚️
Universities don't just look at your grades - they also want to see extra-curricular activities that show your interest in your subject and your motivation to learn beyond the classroom. This could include things like webinars, online talks, subject sessions, reading academic books and so on...
The University of Essex Webinars and Online Courses are a great way to:
1. Explore different subjects and careers
2. Get a taste of university life
3. Show extra interest and engagement in your personal statement
You can reflect on what you learned from these sessions to help your personal statement stand out.
