King's at Western mature-applicant statement
King's asks applicants seeking its Mature Student admission route for a personal statement of objectives and goals and an academic reference letter. This is a restricted part-time entry path for Canadian citizens or permanent residents who meet the age, education-gap, and prior-study rules; it is not a supplement required of every first-year applicant.
Writing format
Personal statement outlining objectives and goals, with an academic reference letter
What to prepare
- 1State the academic direction you want to explore at King's and explain why you are returning to study now.
- 2Connect an actual work, community, family, or independent-learning experience to the goals you have for part-time university study.
- 3Keep the statement focused on your objectives and preparation; ask your referee to address your academic readiness in their separate letter.
How to approach the writing
- Check the mature-applicant criteria before writing. King's lists Canadian citizenship or permanent residence, age 21 or older in the start year, and no full-time attendance at an educational institution during the past four years.
- Apply through the part-time OUAC route and follow the document requests in King's Portal. The college says applicants can discuss a move to full-time study after their first year.
Before you submit
King's does not publish a word limit or a cycle-specific due date for this statement on the mature-admission page. Confirm the current application window, eligibility, English-proficiency evidence if applicable, and upload instructions before submitting.
