π©Ί The Personal Statement & UCAS Masterclass
A 5-hour doctor-led application clinic for aspiring medics & dentists
UCAT summer can become overwhelming very quickly.
Personal statement. UCAT. Work experience. University choices. Clinical insight. Interviews. Trying to understand what medical or dental school is actually like.
It is a lot to juggle - and most students are trying to figure it all out alone.
This masterclass is designed to change that.
The Personal Statement & UCAS Masterclass is a 5-hour, small-group, doctor-led clinic where students do not just sit and listen.
They work.
They write.
They get feedback.
They ask questions.
They leave with a clearer plan.
This is not a passive lecture. It is an interactive application clinic designed to help students sharpen their personal statement, understand their next steps and start thinking like stronger applicants before UCAS pressure properly kicks in.
Whether your personal statement is blank, messy, half-written or nearly finished, our mentors will help you improve it directly during the session.
β¨ What Youβll Work On
π Your Personal Statement
Strengthen your structure, improve your wording and understand how to make your experiences sound mature, reflective and relevant.
π― Your UCAS Strategy
Stop guessing your university choices. Learn how to think strategically about where to apply based on your profile, strengths and risk.
π₯ Your Work Experience & Activities
Understand how to use volunteering, shadowing, wider reading, part-time work and life experiences properly - even if you feel like you βhavenβt done enoughβ.
π¬ Your Questions
Ask doctors, medical students and mentors what medicine, dentistry, university life and the application process are actually like.
π§ Your Clinical Insight
Start developing the kind of reflection, awareness and maturity that will later help you in interviews.
π₯ Your Confidence
Meet other applicants going through the same process and realise you are not the only one trying to hold everything together.
π Why This Is Different
Most application events give you information.
This one gives you direction.
You will not spend 5 hours being spoken at. You will spend 5 hours actively working on your application in a focused, supportive environment with people who understand the process from the inside.
By the end of the session, the aim is for you to leave with:
π A stronger personal statement plan or draft
π§ Clearer next steps for UCAS
π₯ Better understanding of how to use your experiences
π― More confidence about university choices
π§ Early interview-style thinking
π¬ Answers to the questions you have been carrying all summer
This is for students who want more than generic advice.
It is for students who want to actually move their application forward.
