PERSONAL STATEMENT As part of your UCAS application, you will be asked to answer the following questions: Q1. Why do you want to study this course or subject? This is where you can show your passion for the subject as well as your existing knowledge. It will show universities you understand the course and you’re enthusiastic to further your understanding. Q2. How have your qualifications and studies helped you to prepare for this course? Here you can reflect on all the knowledge, experiences and skills you have developed during your studies so far and demonstrate how they will help you going forward. Q3. What else have you done to prepare outside of education, and why are these experiences helpful? This is a chance to talk about extracurricular activities, such as hobbies, work experience or volunteering, sports or further reading, and the transferable skills you have developed, such as teamwork, communication, and organisation. REFERENCE All UCAS applications will ask for a reference. Your reference should be written by someone who knows your academic achievements well, and will likely be a teacher or personal tutor. Have a chat with your referee and ask them to mention anything that is important to you, such as your abilities and achievements, activities or work experience.
