UCAS Personal Statment

The summer break is a great time to start thinking about planning your personal statement.  There are lots of web sites that offer help but the best place to begin is on the UCAS page.

The UCAS personal statement word limit is 47 lines (or 4000 characters) to ‘sell’ yourself to your prospective universities. This is your chance to introduce yourself and personalise your application, whilst also demonstrating your passion for the chosen course.

 

UCAS have a person statement tool that takes you through the process and helps you gather your information.  Have a look HERE and give it a try.

 

There are a few very important rules when writing your personal statement:

• Be prepared - don't wait until the last minute as you may need to redraft a couple of times.
• Be honest - your personal statement will be used if you are asked for an interview.
• DO NOT COPY - be original, its your personal statement and should be about you.

The FLC has a dedicated UCAS notice board with up to date information on application dead lines.  There are also several books you can use to help you with your application.

Competition - Where in the World?

Why not have a go at the new weekly competition

Where in the World?

Each week I will place a photo on the blog homepage.  Have a guess at where you think it is by using the contact form above the photo.  Include as much detail as possible to increase your chance of winning.  Make sure to include your tutor group in the message.

There will be a small prize for the winner.

Good luck
