    • Writing a Personal Statement

      This is the only part of the application where you can write in your own style - it's your chance to tell universities and colleges why you would like to study with them and what skills and experience you have. It has got to be at least 1,000 characters long - but you have up to 4,000 characters / 47 lines - whichever comes first. 

      We recommended you start in a Microsoft Word document and paste it into your application once you are complete as the application wont check for any spelling errors. As you would with any important piece of work, read and re-read it before you mark this section complete.

    • Applying for medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine or veterinary science?

      For these subjects you can only apply to a maximum of four courses in any one of medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine or veterinary science.

      You can add choices with a different deadline later, but don’t forget you can only have five choices in total.

      Can I apply to both the University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge?

      Usually you can only apply to one course at either the University of Oxford or the University of Cambridge. 

      There are exceptions though – if you'll be a graduate at the start of the course, and you're applying for graduate medicine (course code A101) at the University of Cambridge, you could then also apply to medicine (course code A100) at Cambridge, as well as graduate medicine (course code A101) at the University of Oxford. (Some applicants will need to complete an additional application form to apply – visit the University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge websites for more information.)

      Are you applying for deferred entry?

      If you are, make sure you’ve checked that the university or college accepts deferred entry applications for the course.

      They may not be offering the course the following year, may be changing it, or prefer students not to have a gap in study before they start their degree.
