🎯 Purpose of the Personal Statement

• A critical part of your UCAS application
• Opportunity to advertise yourself to university admissions tutors
• Your space to showcase motivation, preparation, and suitability

📋 New UCAS Format: 3 Questions

Instead of one large text, you must answer three structured questions:

1. Why do you want to study this course or subject?

   (This is like the introduction section.)

2. How have your studies/qualifications prepared you?

   (Talk about A-levels, specific modules, academic interests.)

3. What have you done outside of school to prepare, and why are those experiences useful?

   (Mention work experience, reading, volunteering, clubs, etc.)

🔔 Character limit for all 3 combined: 4,000 characters
