Personal statement
The personal statement is a short essay where you can showcase your interest and skills to study a particular course - it is an essential part of your UCAS application. In the application process, your personal statement can be a key factor determining acceptance by a university.
Check our guide for advice on how to write your personal statement. When you finish drafting your personal statement, send us a copy for tailored feedback. This service is offered to undergraduates only.
Note: The team aims to send you feedback within 10 working days.
