What you need to focus on
Personal Statement: for PPE, personal statements must have a strong focus on academic literature. For further information see our PPE personal statement article.
TSA: this test is extremely important for PPE success. You need at least 65 in order to get to interview, but a higher score is preferable. For further information see our TSA article.
Interview: you will likely have two interviews. One is likely to focus on one subject, whilst the other focuses on a range of subjects. Key to success is your ability to build strong arguments quickly and sharp mathematics skills. For further information see our PPE interview article.
