As your young person begins their UCAS journey, we at the Royal Agricultural University know how valuable your encouragement and reassurance can be.
One of the most effective ways to support them is by helping them stay organised — discussing deadlines together, prompting them to research courses thoroughly, and giving them space to reflect on what excites them about their chosen subject.
You can also play a key role by listening as they shape their personal statement, offering constructive feedback without taking over their voice. Most importantly, remind them that this process is about finding the right fit for their aspirations and wellbeing. Your calm guidance and confidence in their abilities can make the application experience far more positive and empowering.
