University · Personal Statement

Build your personal statement.

UCAS now asks for your personal statement as three separate questions instead of one essay. Answer the prompts and we'll turn them into a structured first draft for each question — ready for you to shape into your own words.

This is a scaffold built from your own answers to help you start and structure it. It must end up in your own words — UCAS runs similarity checks, so never copy a statement. Your answers save privately on this device.
