Your personal statement should be about you, but it should focus on what you've done since high school or college.

There are three key areas your personal statement should cover:

• Why do you want to study your chosen subject?
• What relevant skills and knowledge do you already have about this subject?
• What do you do when you're not studying?

Your referee should provide their comments on your academic abilities and personal qualities, in particular their view of your suitability for the programme. It's important that the referee knows you well enough to comment authoritatively on your ability to meet the demands of the programme for which you have applied, but note that a reference provided by a friend or relative is not acceptable.

We may ask you to attend the interview. This helps us to work out if you're a good fit for the course and identify whether you have the appropriate level of knowledge, commitment and enthusiasm for the subject. It may also be an opportunity for the institution to test your skills with an audition or short test.
