Supporting reference
In addition to your personal statement,
your application will also require a
supporting reference. This is usually
written by someone who knows you
academically, most commonly a teacher
or college tutor. The reference should
include information on:
• your suitability for higher education and
academic potential;
• how you interact with other students
and teachers;
• your subject/career interests;
• confirmation that you have good
interpersonal and communication skills;
and
• if applicable, details of any
circumstances (either personal, social
or educational) that may have either
disrupted your studies or caused any
disadvantage.
The reference should not be generic or
repeat the examination results already
achieved. It should, however, reaffirm the
information you have provided in your
personal statement.
