The University of Edinburgh Eligibility

After a student has met the application deadlines, eligibility criteria and the application process of the University of Edinburgh, the work of a student does not end here. The students need to keep a check on their application status and be fully updated of what will happen next.  

A Personal Statement is a student's opportunity to convince the admissions officers of the suitability and commitment to the degree programme being applied as a candidate will be competing with many well-qualified applicants for a same place. 

Personal statements should ideally include: 

• Explain reason to study the subject courses a student has applied for 

• Demonstrate a clear understanding of the subject/degree 

• Providing evidence that a student understands the career implications of the choice 

• Detail any relevant skills or experience 

• Outline any relevant personal qualities, interests and skills and indicate how these have been developed 

The students need to submit a digital portfolio to show their artistic skill and potential at the University of Edinburgh. Portfolio should show students' creativity and particularly their ideas that focus on the thinking behind the work rather than showing their technique and development as well as finished pieces. Short description of the idea and context of the work must be presented along with the portfolio. 

The portfolio must include the following: 

• High standard of conceptual awareness and development 

• Clear ability to think laterally 

• Present unique research methods and routes, and show the development of ideas 

• Originality and professionally resolved work
