Personal Statement & Interview Tips for Healthcare Programmes by University of Portsmouth

Following the release of public examination results in July and August (including HKDSE, IB and A-levels), students can still submit applications for healthcare programmes in UCAS Clearing, the final stage of university applications.

When applying to healthcare programmes, students are required to provide a Personal Statement and pass an admission interview as usual. Since this is the final stage of application, it is crucial for students to be fully prepared to ensure they can get both right in one go!

In view of this, we have invited Adele Wong, Regional Director from University of Portsmouth, to share essential tips and key considerations for preparing a Personal Statement and interview.
