Effective Personal Statement Workshop 

 

Writing a personal statement for your university application can be a challenge.  A personal statement is your chance to let the university know who you are, based upon your experiences, academic career, working experience and other extra-curricular accomplishments.

 

Admission tutors will see hundreds of applications so it is important to get it right and showcase the best side of you.  A personal statement will be unique to you but there are some things that you will want to include (and other things to avoid).
