Tips for your application

We receive a significant number of applications each year, so try to differentiate yourself where possible.

Here some tips and suggestions:

• Avoid textbook answers - we want your application to reflect your personality and experience.
• As most applicants have similar academic records, it is vital to use your extra curricular experiences to your advantage. Work experience, studying abroad and involvement in voluntary organisations, university clubs and societies etc, should be highlighted.
• You want your application to be remembered for the correct reasons - so don't forget the basics.   Take care to complete your application accurately, check spelling and grammar and take time to complete all sections.
• Get someone else to check over your application before you submit - another pair of eyes is often invaluable.

We wish you the very best of luck!
