Warwick UCAS personal statement
Warwick uses the UCAS personal statement to understand subject motivation and preparation. Its guidance treats extenuating circumstances separately from the main statement.
Writing format
Three UCAS questions within a 4,000-character combined limit
What to prepare
- 1Describe a specific reason for choosing your Warwick subject, supported by something you explored.
- 2Explain how academic work prepared you for the course, including what you learned from a project or reading.
- 3Use relevant outside experiences to show skills or insight, not as an unrelated activity list.
How to approach the writing
- Make each of the three UCAS answers do a different job while maintaining one coherent subject focus.
- Put contextual circumstances in the proper form or reference route where appropriate, leaving statement space for academic fit.
Before you submit
Warwick lists a 350-character minimum per UCAS answer. Check the current UCAS form and your course page before finalizing the shared statement.
