PERSONAL STATEMENT

I have always been interested in serving the public and increase the tandem and quality of
life that people lead. I would be extremely honoured if I am admitted in your distinguished
Public Health Nutrition M.Sc. course that is for one year as I would be able to attain the
qualification that is necessary to get enrolled and work in a healthcare institute. I have researcher
and heard about the alumni of your college and the manner in which they are serving the
community which is simply honourable. The program that you at Faculty of Health and Life
Science, Coventry provide is my first priority because the knowledge that I will be able to gain is
unmatched and I would be able to excel in my career as an nutritionist that I intend to pursue.
I have always rejoiced in healing patients and giving any medical assistance that I can
give to them. I have already completed my B.Sc. in the Public Health Science from University of
Bradford and now I intend to get my Master’s degree in the same field from your University.
Although I am eligible to become a program coordinator in any healthcare institute that has
never been my aim because I strive to serve the public and to utilise the knowledge that I have
learned in order to help someone else so that their quality of life can improve.
In the past I have worked as social care worker in the NHS and also as a practical
nutritionist in a hospital in Romania. I learnt how the doctor’s i.e. medical professionals were
trained to identify the cause of disease and also gather collect and analyse the medical and other
health related information which is then tested in the labs. I rained for a period of 6 months
where I gave my free services and learnt how to work under an nutritionist.
After I complete my M.Sc. form your university in the field of nutirion, then I will be
able to begin my career as an Nutritionist and my ultimate objective is to get appointed in the
NHS on a senior position so that I can try to identify the causes behind the diseases with which
humans are afflicted and then determine the risk factors which will help me in serving the public
by identifying the root cause of a particular disease and develop medicines for it accordingly.
Additionally, I will also be able to serve the animals and protect them from potential diseases by
identifying the causes of diseases with which they are inflicted as well so that appropriate
medicines can be developed.

Although there are many challenges that I know I will face while doing this course I am
sure that like I have been able to meet them in the past, I will be able to meet them in the future
as well and my ability to keep going will assist me.
I thank you for considering me as an applicant in your college and I promise that I will make the
name of your university shine brighter.
Regards,
RALUCA FARCUS
