Top tips to apply for study in the UK from the No. 1 Modern University.

Knowing what Universities are looking for is the key to a great application and securing a place at your chosen institution. There are a number of things that you should take into consideration when making your application:

1. Your academic profile
Coventry University offers undergraduate and postgraduate degrees tailored to provide all students with essential employability skills and our successful applicants will be those who can convince us that their qualifications, motivation and experience will suit them well for such degree programmes.

2. Your personal statement
You should be able to demonstrate how your previous study and experiences have given you a keen interest in the subject to which you have applied. You can view all the courses offered by Coventry University and Coventry University London Campus here.

You might want to consider the following when planning:

• What is it that interests you about this subject and how has it helped you develop your thinking?
• Do you have a particular career or area of work in mind which you hope the course will help you to enter?
• What are your strengths and skills and how would you use and build on them in studying this course?
• Do your extra-curricular activities and/or work experience illustrate your interest in your chosen subject or show evidence of skills which would be particularly useful to that field of study?

3. Your academic reference
Ensure that the person who will be writing your reference knows why you want to study the subject you have chosen to apply for.

Finally you need to think about the structure of your statement to ensure it is thoughtfully written to portray your suitability for the course. Take care with spelling and grammar, and make sure that your ideas are expressed clearly.
