I applied last year and I want to use my old statement – is this OK?

It’s OK to reuse your previous statement if you have applied before. However, if you are now applying in a different name, make sure you fill in the ‘Previous Name’ box when completing your application. We will then know it’s you when we process your personal statement. Please be aware that the personal statement format changed for 2026 entry, from one long essay format to three separate questions, so you may need to take this into accoutn depending on when you originally applied or wrote your previous personal statement.
