[QUOTE="Abbie Whitlock, post: 225584, member: 42112"] Hi! That section is usually just a space to add anything about your degree that isn't captured elsewhere in the application. A few things that you might include (and you don't necessarily need to include anything!): [LIST] [*]Any unusual aspects of your course (e.g. a year abroad, a dissertation, joint honours structure, or anything that makes your degree slightly different from the standard) [*]Context around grades - if there is not a separate mitigating circumstances section, this could be a good place to briefly explain it [*]Additional academic achievements (e.g. scholarships, awards, dean's list, prizes, or anything else related to your degree) [*]Transfer of change of course - if you switched course or university at any point, this might be the best place to clarify [/LIST] If you don't have anything you need to add, it's perfectly fine to keep it short / empty - they're just giving you an optional space in case something needs explaining. Hope that helps, and best of luck with the Mills & Reeve application! :) [/QUOTE]
