Supporting reference
In addition to a personal statement , your application will 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 .
• Confirmation that you have good interpersonal and communication skills .
• Your subject / career interests .
• If applicable , details of any circumstances ( either personal , social or educational ) that may have disrupted your studies or caused any disadvantage .
The reference should not be generic or repeat the examination results that you have already achieved . It should , however , reaffirm the information you have provided in your personal statement .
