Get Started: Writing a Personal Statement (Bloomsbury)

When:
Venue: Birkbeck Main Building, Malet Street

No booking required

Would you like to apply for any of our undergraduate degree courses? It doesn’t matter if it’s still just an idea or if you’ve found your dream course, and want to know how to get a place, our Get Started workshops are for you!

To make an application to university, you have to write a personal statement explaining your motivations for studying, your interest in the course and what sets you apart from other applicants. This can be daunting, but fear not, help is at hand!

This free, friendly and interactive workshop will give you the chance to:

  • think about your personal motivations and life experience and find out how these are relevant to your personal statement
  • start drafting your personal statement
  • learn about how to get feedback on your personal statement from our experienced staff
  • meet one of our fantastic students and find out more about studying at Birkbeck! 

The workshop is open to those who have a course in mind already or those who are making the first tentative steps. We aim for you to leave with useful and practical information to help you take the next step towards making an application to study.

We will send you some pre-course materials in advance to help you to prepare for the session and we encourage you to complete these beforehand to enable you to get the most out of the workshop.

Book your place here
