All about admissions

It’s an exciting time as you embark on your university journey. We’re here for you every step of the way. Whatever you want to know, just ask. 

Writing a first-rate personal statement

A personal statement supports your university application. It’s your chance to talk about yourself, what you’re passionate about and why you want to study with us. Here are some key tips to get you started.

Firstly, chat to your friends, family and teachers to see what they think are your best attributes. Then think about why you want to study this particular course. We want to hear about:

  • Your inspiration
  • Your aspirations and goals
  • Your experience and placements

And remember, your uniqueness is what makes you stand out from the crowd. Avoid cliché or copying online examples – we want to hear from you.

Find out more about the dos and don’ts on our dedicated personal statements page.
