This seminar is suitable for students and/or their parents who are interested in applying for undergraduate courses in the UK for this September or the coming years. It will cover essential information about undergraduate study in the UK, the application cycle and applying through UCAS. It will feature a lively presentation by Rob Aldridge, International Officer from Oxford Brookes University, who will offer invaluable professional advice on selecting a suitable course and university, and the do's and don'ts in writing the key personal statement.

Why do you need a good personal statement?

More and more students are attaining top grades, making it hard for universities to select students based on grades alone. Universities will use your personal statement to find out much more about you and your suitability for the course. Find out how to catch the attention of the admission tutor by making yourself stand out in conveying your special skills and attributes.

Rob Aldridge will introduce an approach that makes this easier and suggest some useful resources to ensure you get the most from your application.
