Your personal statement should tell us why you are a suitable candidate for the programme you have applied to.

When we assess a personal statement we look for evidence of:

  • motivation for the degree applied for,
  • independence of thought and working,
  • skills derived from extra-curricular activities,
  • development of study skills,
  • merit and potential to succeed in your chosen subject.
