Personal statement - Exeter



Personal statement

I am applying for a place on a course in accounting and finance at the University of Exeter. I am currently studying foundation business at INTO. This course has helped me accumulate some basic knowledge about economics, accounting and finance, which will be very helpful for my further study. And English and math will no doubt assist me during my higher education.

Reasons for applying for accounting and finance are I am particularly interested in math and economics. So I think accounting and finance is suitable for me because of my advanced math knowledge and my foundation of business. Another reason is my parents are both engaged in finance. As a result, I have got in touch with economic and finance since I was a child. And I can learn a lot of news and knowledge from them. The last but the most important reason is Business School at University of Exeter is quiet good in UK, and I really enjoy the life here in UK.

Always having be the best student at math since my primary school makes me have a strong interest in math and have a good ability to pay attention to detail and to find solution to problems. Having read some books and magazines about economics and paid more attention to the financial news and events both helps me extend my knowledge of subject. And I believe that after 9 months foundation business course at INTO I can learn some more professional skills and statistics, which will give me a strong foundation for accounting and finance.

Apart form these academic experience, taking part in a variety of leisure activities and doing voluntary work have built me a more mature person. Being the volunteer of my high school’s sporting meeting every year makes me know we need passion to life and study. Being the director of my high school’s drama club makes me know the spirit of teamwork and how to communicate with others efficiently. Being the leader and designer of my high school’s activity called “painting on the ground” makes me understand the importance of strong responsibility. By all of these leisure activities what I have learnt is the time management. I can balance between study and entertainment. I understand the efficiency of working and study.

As a student of my province’s best high school, I am independent in both study and life. Working hard lets me have strong determination to succeed and willing to learn and progress lets me be brave when I come across difficulties whatever in my life or study. So being independent, optimistic and confident is the most outstanding element in my character. As for my personal skills and character, I fell that I can make me suitable to studying at university. I like social activities and I can work well with multi-cultural student.

I believe that a degree in accounting and finance will equip me to get a good and suitable job in society. And I will try my best to do it well and enjoy it. Especially, I would like to use I have learnt to make a positive contribution to my university and society.
