It must also cover why they have chosen to study in the UK and particularly at University of Chester. Please ensure that personal statements refer to University of Chester, not other institutions. A write up explaining why they now want to return to studies after a period of work experience. WAEC/NECO/English language documentation, Passport, any previous visa refusals and all other standard documents for admission.
