I am intending to pursue the MSc Professional Accounting programme at the University of East London because I believe my accounting skills will blossom in this programme as it is a place where I will be challenged and where I can develop my Professional Accounting knowledge. In this course, I will learn to apply the theory of practice and be able to know the latest thinking, practice and techniques in the profession. Successful completion of the program will help me qualify to join the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants through an accelerated route designed specifically for MBA and accounting graduates. Ultimately, I believe the course will help me qualify as a professional accountant.

I have done extensive research on the course and am satisfied with the modules, syllabus and learning outcomes offered in these fields, which will enable me to form an idea about different areas of modern Professional Accounting. Throughout the course, it will provide practical work opportunities to test my knowledge and allow me to demonstrate my practical understanding of accounting policy. This course includes face-to-face learning tutorials, workshops, lecture classes, and seminars. This course is designed to understand the theoretical concepts, principles and strategies of accounting and finance by striking a balance between theory and practice. It will help to gain investigative and analytical skills, the ability to critically evaluate data and concepts, and the confidence and skills to communicate effectively face-to-face. Since I want to work in Professional Accounting, I aim to gain complete knowledge from the modules of this course. The core modules include are Strategic Business Leader, Strategic Business Reporting, Advanced Taxation, Advanced Auditing and Assurance, Mental Wealth and Applied Research, Applied Business Project. In addition to this, the University offers different assessment methods in my chosen programme which will contribute to my development and enhance my employability skills. As of the moment, I am interested in learning all the related skills and knowledge from this course. In particular, I am happy to be able to apply for the course properly as it encourages me to pursue a long career. After completing my chosen course, I would like to go on to establish my career as a Financial Analyst or Managerial Accountant in a reputed organisation. I believe this course will be the right choice for my career plans and objectives.

I completed my Intermediate and Secondary education from the business studies group respectively at the Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education, Sylhet, Bangladesh. I studied Bachelor of Business Administration in Accounting in 2022 from Moulvibazar Govt. College, Moulvibazar, Bangladesh. At this moment, I realize that I needed a higher degree from abroad to improve my knowledge and skills. I would like to pursue an MSc Professional Accounting course that would benefit me professionally. As I want to explore my career in accounting positions, this course will give me an upper hand to understand any professional accounting contexts and situations. Moreover, I will learn how to work independently and collaboratively with a large number of colleagues with different experiences. Meeting the customers’ needs and giving them a high-quality service will be my first priority. In addition, I am dedicated and self-motivated to learn new skills. So, I am confident that my professional goal makes me a suitable candidate for the course.

It was difficult to pick a specialization from the various options available to me, but I finally decided to build a career in the professional accounting sector. My confidence would increase if I received a lot of abilities from my higher education. I'll be able to set goals that are more expansive. The course focuses on making me highly employable and preparing me for a career that helps me take my career to the next level. Making my nation's accounting sector one of the best would undoubtedly be a long-term aim. In addition to the accountancy profession, I will have the opportunity to establish my skills in other fields such as management consulting or research. For professionals, I believe this course will be the right choice for those looking for a successful career.

I'm determined to complete this course in the UK because I firmly believe that there are high standards for applicants with these degrees and that UK education is built on the proper professionals. I like the UK culture because they teach to be realistic. However, the study environment in my country follows the theoretical system of education which is quite different and no soft skills are acquired. UK universities have a worldwide reputation and rank among the best on the planet. In recent years, Bangladeshi companies have been hiring graduates with degrees from abroad because they believe that these graduates are capable of playing a key role in changing business attitudes. In particular, I am happy to apply for the course properly because it encourages me to pursue a long career. A recent survey of International Graduation Results in 2019 produced by iGraduate by Universities UK International shows that 82% of international graduates say their UK degree is valuable for financial investment and a similar number of graduates say they are satisfied or delighted with their careers. About 83% think a UK degree has helped them get a job. Since the course is an opportunity to study in the UK, I would like to take this opportunity to further enrich my knowledge and skills which will help me in my future career. These aspects have driven my ambition to get a degree from a UK institution. So, I believe it will be helpful for my professional career.

My choice is University of East London because it accepts international students so warmly. To support students the University have invested heavily in their facilities to shape the physical and intellectual environment of learning. The course learning outcomes are also the reason why I choose this university where they said they do focus on both book- based and practical-based knowledge. Additionally, University of East London is committed to helping international students get the knowledge, creativity, and mental acuity needed to succeed in a world that is continuously changing and a competitive job market. According to the working-age population, 91% of UEL graduates and postgraduates are in employment (DLHE 2017) compared with 70 per cent of non-graduates. In addition, the university offers modern and secure on-campus accommodation which will add extra convenience and experience for international students. In addition, the university has a good reputation for teaching, research and business partnerships. Moreover, The University works hard to ensure that all students reach their full potential. I will look no further if I get this opportunity to study at the University of East London.
