In our full-day live personal statement course, we break down and simplify the new structured format, helping you respond confidently to each of the three questions UCAS now requires.

The New UCAS Personal Statement for 2026 Entry

Join us during our interactive UCAS personal statement course, which covers the three questions now asked for medical school applications:

  1. Why do you want to study this course?
  2. How have your qualifications and studies helped you to prepare for this course?
  3. What else have you done to prepare outside of education, and why are these experiences useful?

When reading your personal statement, admissions teams search for evidence that you’re passionate and knowledgeable about the course you’re looking to study and have the relevant skills, experiences, and potential to be great at it. To help you achieve this, we’ll be looking at these 4 key areas during the personal statement course:

1. Understanding the New Format

  • An overview of the three structured questions and their importance.
  • Understand the purpose and expectations behind each question
  • Learn how to plan and structure focused, reflective answers
  • How to select the best examples to demonstrate your attributes
  • Summarising experiences using our “PREE” method.

2. Your Motivation for Medicine

  • Learn to articulate your motivation clearly and authentically. This could be a role model who inspired you, a moment that sparked your interest, or a deep-rooted passion for healthcare.
  • Improve on your reflective writing from your A-levels or degree, highlight relevant skills, and show academic readiness.
  • Using examples, learn how to best describe your future plans and why this would be a good fit for you.

3. Your Academic Preparation

  • Learn to highlight the most relevant subjects from your school, college, or degree
  • Practice reflecting on how your A-levels, academic skills gained and any extra learning you’ve received has prepared for this course.
  • Learn how to highlight relevant or transferable skills and educational achievements you have that make you a great candidate
  • Reflect on your experiences using your limited word count.

4. Work Experience and Extracurricular Learning

  • Differentiate between descriptive writing, which is commonly used, and reflective writing about your work experiences, which will make your personal statement stand out.
  • Receive guidance on identifying meaningful life experiences, such as caring for family, part-time work, or overcoming challenges, and learn to frame them as evidence of skills needed for this profession.
  • Using examples, learn how to select and structure the most relevant activities; from sports and community work to summer schools or leadership roles and show how they reflect the skills, values, and commitment that make you a strong applicant for medicine.
