PERSONAL STATEMENT SUPPORT
Undergraduate courses
The majority of applicants for top UK universities will have a strong set of GCSE results and predicted A-level grades. The personal statement therefore provides an opportunity for students to stand out from the crowd by talking about personal experiences, passions and motivations for wanting to pursue that subject at university level.
Postgraduate courses
Postgraduate university applications are also highly competitive. The format of the application will typically vary for each university, but generally you should expect to write a postgraduate personal statement, a CV, cover letter and responses to course-specific questions. These provide the opportunity for applicants to demonstrate their academic passions and why they are suitable for the course. It is important to take the time to get these documents right and ensure they are sufficiently tailored for each university.
We have a strong track record of helping students craft compelling personal statements, CVs and cover letters to help them secure places at their dream universities. There are a number of ways in which we achieve this.

How can we help?
Personalised approach
At the heart of everything we do is a deeply personalised approach, tailored to bring out the unique voice and story of each student. A compelling personal statement is not just about listing achievements and experiences, but about presenting a coherent and engaging narrative that reflects a student's individuality, aspirations and passions. We take the time to understand each student and ensure that their personal statement resonates with who they are and what they aspire to achieve.
Providing a proven framework for the statement
The key to a well-written personal statement or cover letter is a good structure. We have a proven framework and approach that has helped countless students to produce successful personal statements and gain places at top UK universities. We also provide in-depth research and advice on content for the statement to ensure this is at the right level for your chosen course and universities.
Reviewing personal statement drafts
A crucial part of our service is the detailed review of a student's personal statement drafts. We carefully work through each element of the personal statement with the student to help develop their writing skills and provide feedback on content, style and clarity. This typically involves a number of iterations to ensure that the final draft is an impactful statement that perfectly captures a student's academic journey and ambitions.
