Send us a text

This video explains how to write a strong philosophy personal statement for UK university applications through UCAS. It breaks down the new UCAS three-question format and shows how to approach each section: why you want to study philosophy, how your studies and experiences have prepared you, and what additional skills or activities strengthen your application. You’ll learn what admissions tutors look for, how to demonstrate genuine intellectual engagement, and how to balance academic depth with personal reflection. Whether you’re applying for Philosophy, PPE, Philosophy & Theology, or another joint honours course, this guide will help you craft a clear, focused, and persuasive statement that stands out for its analytical and reflective quality.
