UCAS

UCAS stands for Universities and Colleges Admissions Service. It’s the centralised service that students use to apply to universities. If you are planning on applying to university you will need to complete a UCAS application. Your specialist and dedicated tutor will help advise you on which courses to apply for and will support you with completing your application.

The biggest aspect of your application is the personal statement. In this you must clearly explain why you are applying, why you want to study your chosen subject and why you would be a good candidate with relevant skills for the course. Your tutor will support you with this by giving constructive feedback and proofreading your drafts to make positive changes and to check for any obvious mistakes.

Principal’s column

how to write an outstanding personal statement

“There are a number of things to consider when applying to university: courses, qualifications and references to name a few. But no consideration is as important as the personal statement. This statement is a chance for students to set themselves apart and show off their skills, ambitions, passions and personality.
Here are my top tips for students writing personal statements and what - if you are a supporting adult, you should be looking out for when asked to read it.”

“I have always had my sights set on Cambridge. I even moved to London from Ireland where my family live to ensure I had a better chance of getting in. I was part of the debating society, the chess club, maths club and I also played football at college. Being on the college’s Honours Programme has meant that I have had support and access to interview preparation and a wide range of extracurricular activities. These have been extremely useful in securing a place at a highly selective university.”

“I have taken part in many academic opportunities and competitions whilst at NewVIc. These include, the British Physics Olympiad, UKMT, Manchester University’s MathsBombe, Queen Mary University Physics Magnetosphere project and achieved Bronze in the UK Chemistry Olympiad at Oxford University. I owe NewVIc teachers a massive thank you; they made me feel excited about learning. They taught me to question everything, for that I am very grateful.”
