1. Outstanding academic performance in my school and college, active participation in academic as
well as extracurricular activities and work experience have helped to develop strong quantitative
and analytical abilities and good leadership and communication skills. I am a business student with
also have a science background. I also have a passion for travelling and understanding different
culture. All these elements have given me a very broad outlook, with varying degree of knowledge in
a range of topics. I strongly believe that although some are not related directly, all these qualities
will influence my graduate work.
The movement towards a global economy and unprecedented explosion of free trade and exchange
worldwide has brought about immense opportunities to develop newer tools, instrument and
methodologies in the field of financial management. It is the challenging environment to which I
intend to contribute by evolving meaningful and optimal solutions to various problems of finance.
Thus, my goal is a career in International finance or academic research wherein I could advance
analytical approaches to financial management.
To achieve my career goals, I need to learn much more about current developments and techniques
in finance, financial market and financial applications and acquire hands-on experience of financial
analysis. My BA (hons) Accounting and financial management degree from university of Sunderland
has given me a strong foundation to my analytical skills since financial task involves a lot of long,
complex and intricate calculations and the application of basic math skills. Over the past four years, I
have been working part time with different offices and retailer. I used to work with their accountant
in letting agency where my duties include to secures financial information by completing data base
backups, substantiates financial transaction by auditing documents and also checking invoices and
documents financial transaction by entering account information. More than what I have studied in
school and college, it has been these experience that have shaped the person that I am today.
One year as a store supervisor with Pound land. gave me a unique opportunity to work in a retailer
shop. I was assigned to study the marketing strategy, especially as compared to those new entrants
like Pound world and 99p shop, and recommend appropriate change for improving the performance
of the company. Due to the competitive market, my study emphasised competitiveness with respect
to cost structure, pricing policies and qualities. My duties also include the managing sub-floor and
undertaking the control of till and cash. I have to prepare the financial report of sale at the end of
the day. This has helped me to understand the cash flow and financial report more clearly.
A Master's Degree will provide me with theoretical understanding, an in depth idea of practical
approaches in aiding managerial decision making and research skills to enable me to develop an
expertise in the core areas of financial strategies and global corporate financial operations. I would
like to probe specific problem areas such as the application of quantitative analysis to understand
various issues in global finance and improving decision making and effect of increase in global
communications on international finance decisions. My research interests are foreign exchange
markets, international capital budgeting and corporate financial strategy. I look forward to applying
these abilities to the immense opportunities available at Anglia Ruskin University.
I have selected the MBA in finance program at Anglia Ruskin University because of its outstanding
faculty and research facilities, emphasis on a collaborative learning environment, flexibility in
curriculum and a global perspective to various key issues. I hope to become a part of this dynamic
culture which will give me a edge to work effectively in diverse teams and situations.
