How to end your personal statement

The personal statement is your opportunity to talk about you, and why you want to enrol on a particular course. You’ve got this far – showing your passion for the subject. But how do you end your personal statement in a way that truly does it justice?

Processing and using revised grades

Once applicants have received revised grades they may contact you regarding their previous firm choices which were made unsuccessful (REJ) or had changed course offers (UCC) to find out if you will be willing to reconsider them.

What is distance learning?

Distance learning allows you to pursue a degree, by studying in your own time, rather than on campus. Learn more about this alternative, including who offers it, and whether employers recognise it.

Appeal to specific markets

Whether you’re looking to connect with under-represented groups, specialist subject prospects, international students or postgraduates – we can help you understand and reach new customers across the full conversion funnel.

Improve conversion to firm choice

Strengthen bonds with your applicants during the moments that matter, building the trust they need to make your institution first choice. Discover your biggest conversion drop-off points to improve future performance. Learn why they chose you, or crucially, why they chose another university or college over you.
