Our Personal Statement Workshops are designed for Year 12 students to receive advice from UCL staff and students. These sessions will give you the confidence to write an effective personal statement.
Applications for Personal Statement Workshops 2024 are closed.
Personal statements are an important aspect of the UCAS application process. Writing a personal statement is your chance to show your enthusiasm for studying a subject and give admissions tutors a sense of who you are as an individual.
To support with your applications, we will be running four separate workshops for Year 12 students in June 2024. Two will take place in-person, and two will take place online.
These sessions will give you an opportunity to understand how to structure and write your personal statement. You will also receive guidance from current UCL students who have been through the application process. If you attend an in-person workshop, you will also get a guided tour of the UCL campus and experience what it is like studying at a university in the heart of London.
