Your personal statement is your opportunity to show your enthusiasm, potential and suitability for your chosen course.

Your personal statement should usually consist of a self-introduction, your qualifications and experience, reasons why you choose to study this course online and how this qualification will help you to achieve your goals.

We recommend you send your statement to one of our experienced course advisors to review and provide you with feedback before you submit it to the applicant portal. Learn more about how to write your personal statement in our helpful guide.

You'll need some additional documents to support your application. These include a scanned copy of proof of identification (such as a passport), and scanned copies of transcripts and previous qualifications.

Some courses require a digital portfolio or sample writing to reflect your previous practice. This may include project work and your current work-in-progress. This will help the admissions team assess your suitability.

Choose two references who can verify your capabilities - one academic and one professional.
