When it comes to students applying for medicine or dentistry, a crucial hurdle in the UCAS application is creating a stand out personal statement. It's all about letting your student’s unique personality take centre stage, while demonstrating an unwavering commitment and passion for a medical or dental career.

With over 15 years experience in university administration, and having helped thousands of students secure a spot in medical and dental school, I understand what makes a strong application. This year, with changes to the personal statement structure, it’s more important than ever to get it right. That’s why I’m inviting your students to attend an upcoming Get Into Medicine or Dentistry conference.

For aspiring Doctors: FREE LIVE VIRTUAL Get Into Medicine conference dates:

For aspiring Dentists: FREE LIVE VIRTUAL Get Into Dentistry conference date:
Sunday 21st March from 9am - 1:30pm
https://dental-mentor.org/get-into-dentistry-conference-sign-up/

At this conference, Dr Scarlett and I will dive into the specific qualities and experiences that admissions committees love to see in a personal statement, and most importantly, how to ensure your students obtain these experiences in time for their application.

We will also explore:
- Understanding Medical/Dental Career
- Skills Needed in Medicine/Dentistry
- Extra and Supracurricular Activities
- Accessing Work Experience
- Application Timelines
- Personal Statements
- Medical/Dental School Interviews
- UCAT Entrance Exam
- Accessing Scholarships

Our aim is to equip aspiring medical and dental students with the tools to sidestep common mistakes and pitfalls and ace their application to university. Students aged 14 - 18 are invited to attend with a parent or guardian, equipped with a working camera and microphone.

Exploring Law: Studying Law at University is an innovative, open-access online course designed primarily for 16 to 18-year-olds who are considering studying law at university in the UK. It is intended to help any student, whatever their background, and whatever their particular university aspirations, decide whether law is the right subject for them.

What can the Exploring Law course offer me?

The Exploring Law course has been designed by the University of Cambridge Faculty of Law to give you a real taste of what studying law at university involves.

The major ambition is to enable you to decide whether a law degree is right for you, as well as to help you develop understanding and skills that will assist you when applying to university and then starting out as a law student.

During the course, you will be introduced you to fundamentals of law - its nature, sources and major categories - and explore in depth some fascinating questions of criminal law, public law and private law. You will also gain valuable insights into, and have a chance to practise, key skills that every law student needs. The final module of the course provides useful advice on how to make an effective university application.

The course is intended to be a rich and engaging experience. In each module, academic experts from the Faculty of Law will guide you as you work through activities that allow you to learn about, and interact with, the law in different ways. In addition, you will hear first-hand from current university law students about their experiences and from inspirational figures from the world of law, and you will have the opportunity to interact with other learners, sharing your experiences, thoughts and ideas.

How can I access the course?

The Exploring Law course is free to access and complete. It can be accessed via the Exploring Law course page on the FutureLearn online course platform. To take the course, you only need to follow a very simple registration process.

If you opt to enrol on the course for free, you will have full access to the course for six weeks. During that time, the six course modules will become available to you on a weekly basis, and you can work through each module, as it becomes available, at your own pace. Although FutureLearn describes this as "limited access", you will enjoy the full course experience during your free enrolment, and you will be supported throughout that time by our course facilitators.

The course is offered by the Faculty of Law twice annually, beginning in the last week in January and the third week in July.
The next course run will begin on 29 January 2024.
You can register for the next course immediately, and at any time before 11 March 2024.

All learners are required to comply with FutureLearn's Code of Conduct. Please also bear in mind FutureLearn's guidance for staying safe online.

How much time will I need to take the course?

The course has six weekly modules. To gain most benefit from the course, you should expect to spend around 4 hours per module/per week.
