Institution Profile

Full Event Details:

Takes students through the UCAS application process and advises students on what admissions tutors look for, how students can prepare their applications to ensure that they get the best offers possible. UCAS Extra and Clearing are also covered, ensuring students have a greater understanding of what they can do if they change their minds about a course, receive no offers, apply late in the application cycle or do not get the grades they were hoping for.

The second half of the session focuses on the personal statement section of the UCAS application form and helps students to identify what makes a good personal statement and how to structure it. Includes interactive activities such as investigating examples of good and bad personal statements and making a start with students’ personal statement.
