Completing your application
Your application
We hope the following information helps when you come to complete your application. It is vital that you put as much effort as possible into completing the application for your chosen programme. If you have questions or would like any further advice please email advice@canterbury.ac.uk|
Choosing your courses
You should have made a decision about the subject area(s) you would like to study before applying. If you apply for two very different subjects, it is essential that you do not give the impression that you are uncertain about what you want to study.
The personal statement
This is the most important section of your application. Try to include a wide ranging description of yourself that might include your study interests and what you enjoy about your current course(s).
It is also vital that you say why you have chosen the subject you are applying for. Include any work or other relevant experience and the personal benefits you gained. With teaching or health-related subjects, if there is no evidence in your application that you have some relevant experience, then you are likely to be rejected without an interview.
Let us know about any career ideas you have for the future, and how your chosen course will fit into this. If you have interests outside school/college list them eg sports, theatre, travel, social activities, cinema, music, reading, or any other interest you have.
The reference
You will need to provide an academic reference and your school or college will write a reference for you. If you are not able to provide an academic reference please email advice@canterbury.ac.uk|
Your UCAS code
When filling out your UCAS application, you will be required to specify your chosen subject area(s) and the programme's UCAS code. For directions on how to find the relevant code for your course|.
