Writing your application

When writing your application, we encourage you to think about examples from all areas of your life, not just previous study, which have prepared you for the course you are applying to.

Examples may include: paid work, voluntary work, travel, reading, hobbies, home or family life. Try to give clear examples of your experience and explain how this has prepared you for studying at university.

You should explain why you have chosen a particular course or subject area and what it is that motivates you. We also ask you to show that you have thought about why a degree with a foundation year may be the best route for you, about what studying at full- or part-time at university may involve for you.
