interested in the courses for which you have appliedand what you
hope to do after your studies. A good personal statement is
important -it could help to persuade an admissions officer to offer
you a place. In many cases,applicants are not interviewed, so this
may be your only chance to make the case foryour admission.
Additional information to include might be:

evidence to show that you can complete a higher education course
that is taughtin English
positions of leadership you have had or ways you have used your

requirements, Course Finderenables you to search courses by a wide
range of features including subject,qualificati on, region and

one that is bestsuited to you.
