Personal statements will not be changing for 2024 entry

Students have mixed views on the personal statement.
Posted Mon 13 February 2023 - 14:27

We know they rely heavily on support from others to feel confident they've covered all the right information. Students also tell us they value the process, and it helps their decision-making.

For these reasons we will not be removing this from the application, but following their feedback we will be looking to reform it.

How can you get involved?

More regular sessions at different times coming soon.
