An interactive webinar with UEA Higher Education Advisers to help you with writing a standout personal statement.
Join us for a friendly and interactive webinar with UEA Higher Education Advisers. This in-depth session will provide helpful advice to give you a head start with writing your personal statement from a university perspective.
In the first 30 minutes of the session we’ll cover:
What universities are looking for
Real-life personal statement examples for you to discuss and critique
Dos and don’ts: what to include, what to avoid
Types of pre-university experience you can include in your statement
Practical tips to get started
The final 15 minutes is an opportunity for you to stay online and ask us any questions you might have about writing your statement or applying to university.
Everyone that attends will be sent a digital workbook, which you can complete in your own time after the webinar. The workbook will help you to gather your content, structure your thoughts and get going with that difficult first draft.
Parents and carers are also welcome to attend the session, to better understand how to support their young person.
