Writing Your Personal Statement: An interactive Workshop (16 mins)

This is an interactive video where Ashley will take you through how to write your personal statement for a university application. You will need a pen and paper, and be ready to pause the video to give yourself enough time to complete the activities.

Update for 2026 entry: The UCAS personal statement has changed from one longer statement to three separate questions. However, we believe you will still find Ashley’s advice valuable in writing your personal statements. Find more information on the UCAS website here.
