1PERSONAL STATEMENT
I have always wanted to pursue my higher degree from UWS, as it will help me to
develop my knowledge (Zhuang et al. 2015). It is a beautiful place to study with great
professors with all modern facilities, and it has ranked among the top three universities
worldwide.
The campus provides facilities like interdisciplinary programs, sensor-kit monitors,
and Scottish centre for technologies that are required to make students future business
leaders. This campus will help me to gain vast knowledge regarding my course with excellent
research procedure.
I love Scotland and always wanted to pursue my MBA degree from UWS as it has
ranked as one of the top University for young students in 2017 (Reisberg 2015). One of my
friends studied here, shares her wonderful experiences that how professors had motivated her.
While going through the University website, students gave good reviews and comments
regarding the teaching style, college environment. For this reason, I did not consider any
other institutions for pursuing my degree.
My aim is to become a pioneer in business and the next six years I want to see myself
as the same, and MBA degree will help me to develop managerial talents, and would also
help me to get access to large number of business group globally (Aithal 2015). Furthermore,
studying MBA will give me better opportunities for higher salaries.
No, I did not consider any other courses. Other than MBA, no other courses will help
me to find out the necessary skills and knowledge to become a top business organizer.
Moreover, this course will provide me many career opportunities.

2PERSONAL STATEMENT
My career plan is to become the top business head, and pursuing a degree in MBA is
aligned with my career plans, as this will provide me better opportunities for striving new
challenges in life. Studying this course will develop my central leadership and managerial
skills, and that will assist me to deal with top business clients and leaders.
Yes, this course is offered in my home country, but all other universities could not
provide better world class research facilities like UWS. Moreover, UWS provides the better
resourced campus and also offers witness demonstration for resolution of disputes. (Reisberg
2015). All these facilities are not available in my home country, and for this, I have decided
to study here.
I have always loved travelling and studying abroad will give me chance to explore the
world. Studying abroad will provide better chances to experience different teaching styles.
Moreover, I would get to know about other cultures, while making friends from other places.
One major reason for studying in UK, that British educational system has higher
reputation all over the world and students are encouraged and motivated to develop their
potential skills, besides enjoying their lives (Vickers et al. 2015). Since the English language
became one of the major languages in the global market, studying here will help me to
develop better language skills.
I took long break as I thought to earn some money. However, I realised that without
any proper degree or qualification, I will not be able to achieve my goals and did not want to
stay stagnant at one place, and therefore I have decided to pursue my skills.
After completing my MBA, I have planned to start up my new business, as I wanted
to be a pioneer in the global business market.
