Education Page
1. Date of Attendance in school:
For your secondary school - January 2001 - January 2006
For Maktab Duli - February 2006- January 2008

The dates above are in accordance to your leaving certificate.

2. Entering 'O' level qualifications: Subject name/ Grade/ Date/ Awarding Body
e.g. GEOGRAPHY B 01/06 CAM

The date that you put down is the date of when you obtained your result, NOT when you sat for the exam.

The same rule above applies for your A level qualifications.

3. Entering AS level qualifications : You only enter your language support modules
e.g. General Paper, English AS, English Language and Lit, Literature AS, Thinking Skills.

Please note General STUDIES is NOT the same as General Paper!

Personal Statement Page
Enter your personal statement only AFTER is has been checked by your counsellor!
Please note that this is the most crucial part of the application so be prepared to revise your personal statement over and over again! If you choose to put in your personal statement without having it checked by your counsellor that we will take NO responsibility of any mistakes in style, technicality and accuracy of your statement resulting in the rejection of your application.

Once everything is all checked and ready, make the payment using a credit card and then send to referee (MD HEU).

Applications sent to referee will be sent to UCAS 2-3 weeks from date sent to referee. You should receive a Welcome Letter from UCAS 1-2 weeks later.
