More students go to university than ever before, and employers are increasingly recruiting only from the graduate market. Getting into your university of choice, that offers the best career prospects for your future, is more important than ever. We can help with your undergraduate personal statement for any course or university. We offer specialist services for law, medicine, dentistry, and nursing, and have experience in teacher training programmes such as the BEd and other vocational qualifications.

n 2016, there were 14 million graduates in the UK – and the path to standing out amongst them all starts here, with the UCAS application and the all-important undergraduate personal statement.

Some applicants are lucky enough to know their precise choice of course and university from an early age. For many, however, it’s a long process of looking through prospectuses and websites, talking to teachers and families, and getting advice - and this is before you can even start to think of the undergraduate personal statement which will be your way in to the next step in your education.

Generally, the first decision is on the type of course you want to study: this, after all, will be the topic of the entire undergraduate personal statement. Traditionally, schools and colleges recommended single honours courses, where just one subject is studied, but combined honours degrees are increasingly popular and offered by many of the elite universities. Whatever you choose, it needs to be something you’re sure you would like to spend three years (or possibly more) studying. The UCAS personal statement needs to provide evidence not only for your passion for this subject, but for how well you have achieved so far. 

One way for your undergraduate personal statement to stand out is evidence of wider reading - and lots of it. Universities are often very helpful here, providing suggested pre-course reading lists; you could also consult your teachers, and school or college librarian. Of course, you’re not expected to plough through a 700 page biochemistry textbook from start to finish. Any text that sparks your interest will not only help you to decide this is what you really want to study, but a mention in the undergraduate personal statement will show that your commitment is serious. Perhaps, one day, the expert specialist being interviewed on BBC News could be you...

After so many discussions, decisions, visits to the library, chats with the careers advisor, trips to open days, and maybe a bit of work experience ... you’re exhausted! The undergraduate personal statement, however, is the most important stage. Although admissions tutors will look at your predicted grades and the reference provided by your school or college, they are primarily interested in you: and it’s this statement, in 4000 characters maximum, that helps them decide. A brilliant undergraduate personal statement might even result in a lower offer (or even the coveted unconditional offer), giving you that little bit less stress at exam time.

This is where we can step in. Our advisors are all experienced graduates, able to help you with your undergraduate personal statement no matter what your chosen course and destination. Travel and Tourism? Czech with Spanish? A teacher training personal statement? Or even a plain degree in Maths? We are dedicated to helping you succeed, and will work with you closely, using our bespoke questionnaire designed to tell us all your strengths to produce the UCAS undergraduate personal statement that will get the offers flooding in.
