My decision to pursue Finance and Accounting stems from my investigation at the college library and my professional long term goal of becoming a chartered accountant. Particularly, I enjoy engaging in administrative work, statistical exercises and other opportunities I am presented with to work in a team. I have confidence that these transferable skills and strengths will be fully developed as a pursue a degree course in finance and accounting. In order to begin my career journey, I have managed to complete my GCSE with an A in mathematics and statistics and acquired knowledge in accountancy in Syria though I was unable to complete because of the war in the country.

Studying GCSE provided me with the understanding and real life foundations I needed to understand the direction I should be taking when pursuing finance and accounting. Mathematics and statistics brought me to an advanced understanding of the state of technology in mathematical computation among other technological aspects that are less time consuming and make computation easier. I believe that the university will provide me with an excellent opportunity to take my learning to a higher level. A challenging environment is also one of the reasons why I am applying for the degree in accounting and finance because a challenging environment I believe will enable acquire the abilities needed to understanding the business world as a whole and bring me to my ultimate dream of becoming a chartered accountant.

I am looking forward to the challenges of a demanding course with so much confidence that I have the necessary academic qualification and personal qualities to make success out of these challenges.
