Personal Statement Workshops

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 our 2025 Personal Statement Workshops are now open.

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 two online separate workshops for Year 12 students in June 2025. These sessions will give you an opportunity to understand how to structure and write your personal statement. We will cover the changes to the personal statement for 2026 entry. You will also receive guidance from current UCL students who have been through the application process.
