Example
"I consider enrolling on this course to be a major commitment and investment to my future, one that
will not only help to fill my knowledge gap but will also provide me with a platform for the next step
in my career. It is a degree which I feel will prepare me for success at the highest levels by equipping
me with the specialist knowledge of international business.
I want to enrol on this exciting and informative course because a MBA is probably the world’s best
known and most widely recognised and sought after management qualification. Its popularity as a
degree has spread right across the world to organisations of every type, both in the public and private
sector.
I feel this is a course that will give me the practical hands-on experience which will fully prepare me
for life after university. It will ready me for any future management challenges, whilst at the same
time making me a different and better person, and ultimately help me to develop my potential and
achieve my goals. It will not only make a great impact on my career and earning potential, but also on
the time management aspects of my life.
During the summer, for a period of three months I had a job as a sales assistant at a department store.
My duties there included; giving advice and guidance on product selection to costumers, answering
queries, handling complaints and being responsible for processing cash and card payments. The role
required me to be assertive, police, well presented and to have a comprehensive understanding of
retail practices and procedures.
At college where I studied A level Business Studies I learnt a lot about the world of business from
inspiring tutors who had real business insight and experience. The modules and teachers were the best
part of the course. I loved being involved in in-depth discussions with lecturers who were highly
experienced and broadened my outlook further.
Right now I want to enrol on a MBA course that is set to a realistic time frame and gives its students
adequate support, allowing them to fully enjoy and appreciate their studies. In my opinion any
significant investment demands substantial returns, and by the end of the course I want to have
developed cost-effective and quality assured skills which will allow me to meaningfully contribute to
the development of management capacity and business growth of any companies that I work for.
I turned down other top universities to apply to yours; primarily because of the teaching quality at
your institution and the atmosphere I felt when I visited your campus. My investigations confirmed to
me that your course meets the highest professional standards, and your teaching facilities are truly
world class. I am confident that your MBA teaching is underpinned by world-class research that
offers undergraduates innovative and authoritative approaches to theory and practice."
