Writing a Standout UCAS Personal Statement

Writing a Standout UCAS Personal Statement
A great personal statement is specific, evidenced and structured. Open with a concrete moment that sparked your interest in the subject. Then use two-thirds of the statement to demonstrate academic engagement — books read, projects built, essays entered — and the final third to link work experience, extra-curriculars and future ambition. Avoid clichés and don't list — evidence. Ask your Safe Move Education adviser to review your draft.
