This is where you can write whatever you’d like to say about yourself and your motivation to study your course.Your personal statement should therefore focus on the course you want to study, not the universities themselves.

A reference from a teacher or someone else who is qualified to comment on your academic ability is an essential part of your application. Your application will be incomplete without a reference and we will not be able to consider it.

All candidates must take the Thinking Skills Assessment: Section 1 (TSA S1) as part of their application. Separate registration for this test is required and it is the responsibility of the candidate to ensure that they are registered.

Section 1: is made up of 50 multiple-choice questions and aims to assess the following detail: 

• problem-solving skills, including numerical and spatial reasoning; 
• critical thinking skills, including the ability to understand an argument; 
• and the ability to reason using everyday language.

This demonstrates your analytical, reasoning, language and writing skills, as appropriate for your chosen degree course. However, written work is not required for this course.

The interview is designed to assess your academic potential. Tutors are looking for your self-motivation and enthusiasm for your subject. Decisions are not based on your manners, appearance or background, but on your ability to think independently and to engage with new ideas beyond the scope of your school or college syllabus.

Tutors make decisions based on all aspects of your application:

• your interview
• any admissions tests or written work required for your course
• your prior academic attainment and predicted grades
• your personal statement
• the academic reference
