HE Guidance: Personal Statements: Making A Statement With Susan Stokes-Chapman, Dafydd Morse & Student Ambassadors From Aberystwyth University

As part of Aberystwyth’s webinar series Your Guide to Higher Education: Making it from Application to Arrival, this session aims to prepare prospective students for writing their Personal Statement:

• A brief introduction to the UCAS system
• A general overview of the structure of the Personal Statement
• Writing the Introduction
• What to think about when talking about your subject choice
• Why including information about Extra-Curricular activities is important
• Writing the Conclusion

There will be interactive elements with a poll/quiz for participants to complete, and there will also be a Q&A session with our Student Ambassadors.

The students should come away from this session with plenty of ideas so they can begin to write their Personal Statement with confidence.

Susan and Dafydd are Student Recruitment Officers at Aberystwyth University and they will be supported by two Student Ambassadors, Rebecca and Elen.

Suitable for: Year 12 and 13 students (and equivalent). Students who wish to start their Personal Statements in time for UCAS applications from September onwards.

Preparation/Pre-Reading: None is required although you may wish to consider questions you have about application and transition to university.
