The Annual Conference for Teachers and Advisers 2018

References play a key role in supporting your students’ applications, and are essential for those who are applying to competitive programmes and providers. In this session, we will share hints, tips and advice on best practice for UCAS references for competitive programmes, and help you and your colleagues craft an effective reference in the most efficient way.

​By the end of this session, attendees will:

• understand where and how references are used when assessing applications for competitive courses
• learn about the key information competitive courses and providers need from the reference
• learn how to structure a reference and tailor it to support each individual application
• examine and discuss example references
• share information and learn from the experience of other attendees
