-Confucius
I am Durga Durai from Malaysia.With the career prospects of creating an identity of my
own, having a firm social standing, being financially secure,I pursued a Secondary School
Diploma from Sunway College, Malaysia. I am a kind and quiet girl who is very organized .I
am passionate about my life goals. I am a person with optimistic and winning attitude
towards work who is enthusiastic to face new challenges. After completing my schooling, I
realise that a lack of degree in management is limiting the potential. So I, feel that
undertaking a Business and Healthcare Management program will help me acquire
substantial knowledge, experience and expertise in the field of management. As for my
future, I look forward to make a career in the field of marketing. Gaining insights from
alumni of some leading business schools, a gradaute degree from Anglia Ruskin University
which quite renowned in UK will help me learn flexibility in thinking, ability to manage the
unforeseen events and strategic outlook which are essential to succeed in a field of Marketing
and assist me to bridge the gaps between Sales and Marketing. I believe it will also hone soft
skills, combine theoretical and practical training, provide domestic and international industry
exposure, enable networking and develop problem solving attitude. I want to learn how to
cope with failures in life and to be vigilant, and to take up struggles that came along in
everyday life. It will help me understand that along with technical knowledge it is extremely
important to know how to market your product.
My first rendezvous with the world of sales and marketing was when in summer holidays at
school I used to visit with dad to his customers. These incidents of visiting a different place

and meeting a different person everyday were joyful and it became such a defining
experience that it helped in deciding the career path in later stages. However, I was always
fascinated by different types of health care products then and would frequently read about
them in various journals and books.So, pursuing a graduation in Business and Healthcare
Management became a natural choice.
During my school days, I took active participation in organizational activities and sports. I am
really passionate about indoor sports such as bowling .I have participated in several events at
the school level. I have scaled up my love in medical field. I love to read books related to
medicine and am passionate about gaining knowledge about several types of surgery and the
methods to cure them. I also love watching medical surgery videos in my leisure time on
internet to gain practical knowledge.
My strength is my optimistic and winning attitude towards work. I realise that undertaking a
Business and Healthcare Management course from premier Anglia Ruskin University will
help me to acquire substantial knowledge, experience and expertise in the field of
management. It will also help me in enhancing my soft skills, because I believe that learning
can be done by books also, but the soft skills that one earns in a namagement course while
interacting and networking with quality brain opens up one’s thought process. Apart from
this, a BSc (Hons.) course in Business and Healthcare Management will help me in realising
my long term goals of either being a successful entrepreneur or reaching heights of corporate
ladder in an esteemed organization.
A graduate management course in Business and Healthcare will also help me benefitting the
lives of individuals in several ways.I would gain experience in the sales and marketing of
new drugs that could be used or the treatment of several types of diseases.It will improve the

health of general public by getting rid of several deadly diseases and they would be able to

University will be that ‘Wind beneath my wings’ which will help me reach out to newer skies
and horizons. I therefore make an earnest request to consider my application for admission in
your esteemed University.
