Home Application Resources Personal Statement Resources

If you’re applying to an undergraduate course in the UK, you will have to do so via UCAS (the University and Colleges Admissions Service). A mandatory part of the UCAS application process is the personal statement; a series of written responses through which an applicant gives admissions tutors an idea of their personal qualities as a potential student on the course to which they are applying.

The personal statement is understandably a daunting part of the application. It is possibly your only chance to let universities know who you are as an applicant, and to separate yourself from other applicants with similar predicted grades and school subjects.

Having helped applicants with their UK university applications for more than 25 years, we know just how hard it can be to start the personal statement. That's why our applications experts have curated this collection of free, comprehensive resources.

The resources in this hub are split into two categories: Personal Statement Guides and Example Personal Statements.

Personal Statement Guides

Our free Personal Statement Guides, with one per UK university subject, take you through everything you need to know about the personal statement, as well as our expert Oxbridge-graduates' advice on each stage of the process. Get top tips on how to research new topics, make a structure, and perfect the writing and redrafting of your statement with our comprehensive, free guides.

Personal Statement Examples

Our Example Personal Statements, on the other hand, give you a complete exemplar of what an excellent personal statement should look like, complete with admissions' tutors comments and notes. Our example personal statements are all written to the new format that UCAS has introduced for the 2025-26 admissions cycle, so you can rest assured that you are getting the most up-to-date information possible.
