Check account regularly to check for important communication.

33 YOUR APPLICATION FORM

34 COURSE CHOICES

35 YOUR APPLICATION FORM

36 THE PERSONAL STATEMENT

37 WHERE SHOULD I START? Think honestly about yourself what makes you special, interesting or unique? Everyone is different! Map out your ideas then build up paragraphs Writing about yourself is not something you do often Expect to write several drafts

38 WHAT SHOULD I PUT IN IT? 75% covering academic interests, motivation and strengths Taking a year out? Reasons for academic subject choice Qualifications 25% covering the skills developed that are not directly relevant to the course Personal Statement Personal achievements life skills, strengths Career aspirations Reflection of work experience

39 HOW SHOULD I STRUCTURE IT? Think of ABC when writing: Activity Benefit Course Activity: being a peer mentor Benefit: Teamwork, communication skills, leadership, commitment, time management Course: Group assignments, putting across your ideas, good time keeping for lectures and fieldtrips, work/life balance, responsibility

40 EVIDENCE WHAT YOU SAY! I have always been interested in art. I especially like paintings. I like lots of different styles. My favourite is modern art OR Frequent trips to art galleries as varied as the National Portrait Gallery, the Wallace Collection and the Tate Modern have inspired an understanding and deep appreciation of painting as a medium across a wide range of styles. This has been supported by reading texts like

41 WHAT ARE UNIVERSITIES LOOKING FOR? A well structured personal statement which identifies academic and transferable skills Why you are suitable for the subject area and what sort of person you are Evidence the things you say about yourself, related back to your course choice Examples to show you have motivation and commitment to complete your course

42 HOW TO START THE OPENING SENTENCE From the smallest molecule to the most important issues of the modern world, chemistry is fundamental. The burgeoning world energy crisis, for example, will only be solved with the help of Chemistry, and the possibility to be involved in this is an ambition of mine Earlier this year I was involved in a car accident, and as I sat among the wreckage I was shocked to see not one person stopped to help me. Didn t anyone care enough to help? If it weren t for the science of Psychology, this and so many other questions about human behaviour would go unanswered. To take a journey in art is to follow a path that is never ending; you will never know all there is to know or see and discover all there is out there.

43 TIPS FROM UCAS AND ADMISSIONS DO S Identify academic and transferable skills Be reflective. If you make a point like 'I like reading', 'I travelled abroad', say what you got from it Evidence the things you say about yourself and relate back to your course choice (ABC) Identify why you are suitable for the subject area and what sort of person you are Be passionate Get it proof read

44 TIPS FROM UCAS AND ADMISSIONS DON TS Just list your interests, demonstrate them List your qualifications Include irrelevant information Rush Miss deadlines Don't bend the truth

45 FINISHING YOUR APPLICATION Declare your intention to apply for student finance Reference Check all details Cannot continue to the pay/send section until you have completed all other sections 23 for 2 to 5 choices 13 for 1 choice Keep a hard copy

46 UCAS TRACK You will need your Personal ID and the same username and password you used in Apply Enables you to follow the progress of your application 24/7 See if any of your university/college choices offer you an interview or a place on their course Reply to the offers you get Confirm your place

47 DECISIONS Admissions tutors can make one of three decisions: - Conditionaloffer - Unconditional offer - Unsuccessful Applicants can then keep a maximum of two offers: - Firm choice - Insurance choice Any remaining offers must be declined

48 UCAS EXTRA If all 5 choices are used and you aren t holding any offers, you can apply for a course (if vacancies) Apply from end of February until the end of June Use course search to see course vacancies Contact the university/college first to see if they will consider your application Apply through UCAS Track You can only apply to one course at a time, so you will not be able to have an insurance choice

49 RESULTS DAY Check UCAS track to confirm your place You can call your university to confirm your place Don t panic if you drop a grade Clearing: opens on A level results day Re-sits

50 STUDENT FINANCE

51 AIMS OF THIS PRESENTATION Explain what student funding is available to support your university experience Information about how to apply for your funding

52 IMMEDIATE CONCERNS You don t have to pay tuition fees up front Student loans are available to cover tuition fees and living costs Monthly repayments are affordable, they are based on what you earn, not what you owe After 30 years any remaining debt is written off The new system of loans doesn t affect the ability to get a mortgage Non-repayable financial help is also available

53 FINANCIAL SUPPORT REPAYABLE Tuition fee loan (covers the entire costs of tuition fees) Living cost loan NON-REPAYABLE National Scholarship Programme Living cost grant Bursaries and scholarships Selected NHS courses offer different funding for tuition fees and living costs

54 LIVING COST LOAN Living cost loan available to all eligible full-time students, irrespective of household income For 2015 entry, everyone is entitled to at least 65% of the loan. The remaining 35% is means tested on household income (gross income minus certain allowances such as pensions and charitable donations) It is paid in three instalments Residence whilst at university 65% of loan Maximum loan available Parental home 2,967 4,565 Elsewhere 3,731 5,740 London 5,206 8,009 ** Figures are subject to parliamentary approval

Household income Living cost grant Living cost loan Yearly total 25,000 or less 3,387 3,862 7,249 30,000 2,441 4,335 6,776 40, ,282 5,829 50, ,836 4,836 Over 62, ,610 3,610 ** 2014 figures

56 OTHER FINANCIAL HELP Plymouth University will have bursaries and scholarships available: some of which has been made possible by the generosity of our alumni - Care leavers bursary ( 2,000 a year) - Drake gold and silver awards - Academic scholarships - Including Academic Excellence Awards Access to Learning Fund Plymouth University Retention Fund: this is money released from the tuition fees to support students whilst they study with us.

57 DISABLED STUDENTS ALLOWANCE Help towards the additional costs that a student may face as a result of their disability, mental-health condition, specific allergy or specific learning difficulty. In addition to the standard student finance package and is not affected by household income Does not have to be repaid Looks at the specific needs of the individual in relation to their circumstances and studies.

58 APPLYING THROUGH STUDENT FINANCE ENGLAND Students can apply for financial support and maintain their account online The application opened for 2014 entry on Monday 20 January and closed May When completing the UCAS application form, students are encouraged to select the option that they intend to make an application through Student Finance England this will allow them to contact the student when it opens. Students can consent to have up to two people speak on their behalf they must be registered first to do so Students are encouraged to complete their application as early as possible

60 REPAYING THE LOANS What? When? What? How? Tuition fees loan and living cost loan From April after leaving the course and earning over the threshold of 21,000 per year 9% of earnings over threshold Deductions directly from wages, before tax Salary Monthly repayment Weekly repayment 20, , , , , Graduates will pay less per month than they do under the current system when starting out

61 REPAYING THE LOANS If your earnings fall, your contributions fall You can repay early Debt written off after 30 years or you become disabled and cannot work Your debt is not passed on to anyone else Your situation Whilst you are studying (and up until the April after you leave your course) Graduates earning below 21,000 (from the April you leave your course) Graduates earning between 21,000 and around 41,000 Interest applied RPI + 3% Graduates earning above 41,000 RPI + 3% RPI (no real rate of interest) Gradual scale RPI if earning 21,000 reaching a maximum of RPI+3% when earning 41,000
