Dr Careers offers some advice on how to choose your course and write your personal statement

You’ve finished your exams and it’s summer. You’ve probably started thinking about a UCAS application. Those deadlines might seem a long way off, but once you get back to school or college, you’ll be busier than ever. You don’t have to wait until the autumn term to start your UCAS application. You won’t be able to submit it until mid-September, but you can get going with it.
