whether applicants apply for a taught or research degree, but include:

or awards; information on your overall position within your cohort; and
publications (if applicable).
-Aptitude for the proposed course of study: This may be assessed by

their field of study.
-Student motivation: This is assessed through evidence of the
applicant’s commitment to their proposed course, evaluated by the personal
statement and referees’ reports.
