You'll become familiar with all elements of the personal statement: its purpose, form, and content. We'll share the attributes and qualities that admissions tutors are looking for, and how they use personal statements in the admissions process.
Find out what kind of work experience should be included and how to reflect on it appropriately. We'll help you to plan the body of your statement, from selecting the best experiences for reflection, to taking you through argument structure.
We'll guide you through the process of turning your notes and paragraph outlines into well-structured, concise, and relevant paragraphs. This lesson will provide you with valuable tools for both writing and thinking reflectively.
Discover how best to answer the question 'Why medicine/dentistry?' and how to incorporate this into your personal statement. We'll go through strong and weak examples, and provide clear guidance on what you should and shouldn't include.
In this lesson, you'll learn about when and how to mention your academic work in your personal statement. You'll get to look through examples of where this has been done successfully, as well as less successfully.
With our guidance, you'll refine your personal statement's structure and language, and thoroughly check your spelling, punctuation and grammar. By the end of this lesson, you should have a polished draft of your personal statement!
