Please bear in mind that your personal statement has to be PERSONAL i.e. YOURS!! This year UCAS have already installed a software to detect plagiarism (stealing other people's ideas and work) so please make sure that your statement is yours and yours alone!

Before you put in your PS in your UCAS application please make sure that you have it checked first by your HEU counsellors. Things to remember,

- Have it TYPED! Maximum 4000 characters.
- Include your Name, AE, Grades, Phone No. at the bottoms so we can track you down.

As you know all the counsellors have teaching responsibilities as well so please be patient and bear with us. Take note of your counsellors duty blocks so you know when we'll be around to serve you! :)
