I am keen to pursue BSc Pharmacology at University of Hertfordshire. Pharmacologists’ studies how drugs work in the body and use this information explore how the body itself functions. My four years’ work experience in pharmacy sector has laid a strong foundation in motivating me to acquire depth knowledge about drugs; in this manner I have become more conversant with drugs, generic and some side effect of most drugs; gain excellence communication skills in interacting with people from different cultural background. Moreover, I believe getting a chance to pursue my study career in this University will progress me both professionally and academically.

According to my research and understanding of the course I have found that this course is accredited by the Royal Society of Biology. In addition, the student will also have the opportunity to work alongside researchers, academics and other students which will enable students to learn new techniques in microbiology and blood analysis. Moreover, student will even have their own bespoke space for pharmacology investigations. The course will be assessed in small, supportive groups, based in real labs, equipped with outstanding industry technology which gives me the techniques of how to getting the grips with powerful data and analytical tools. However, my home countries’ organizational structures are mainly developed like UKs. Therefore, employers readily recognize and highly value UK degrees. I believe studying abroad helps students to learn new languages, appreciate other cultures, overcome challenges of living in another country and gain a greater understanding of the world. In addition, these are the requirements that modern businesses look for when hiring, and such traits will only become more important in the future. Moreover, studying abroad also offers a unique opportunity to learn what we know but from a totally different perspective. These are the things which have motivated me to pursue this course.

After completion of Senior School Certificate Examination I completed my Diploma in Pharmacy Technician from Bayelsa State College of Health Technology, Otuogidi, Ogbia Town, Nigeria in 2018. During this period of time from 2016 to 2018 I also worked as a Pharmacy assistant. Later on, I joined Kendo Investment, Nigeria as a Pharmacy technician. I am currently working with this company and it was fascinating experience for me to work with this company. All throughout my entire career, I have accumulated professional ability, useful knowledge, communication skills and analytical skills with various experiences. I have the capability of dealing even with complex technical issues with an analytical and professional approach. As of the moment, I am interested in learning all the related skills and knowledge from this course. For this reason, this course will be the right choice for my career plans and objectives. If I can successfully complete this course it will create a plat form for me to pursue different career opportunities such as Research Analyst, Sustainability Project Manager or PCR Analyst.

University of Hertfordshire offers Human Physiology with Pharmacology, Practical and Transferable Skills, Molecular Biology and Genetics, Core Biochemistry, Cell and Microbiology, Bioscience Research Methods, Principles of Immunology, Biology of Disease, Pharmacology, Genes and Genomes, Biochemistry for Pharmacology, Applied and Integrated Pharmacological Science and Project. I believe this course will equip me with the necessary knowledge and practical skills through the above-mentioned modules to perform my duties in this role effectively. Furthermore, as a UK graduate, I will be able to stand out among the vast number of national graduates, and this will increase my chances to be employed by a leading international company in my home country.

I am determined to study this course in the UK as the study environment in my country is quite different and we get to study with only the national students. Furthermore the political chaos makes it harder for students to get the degree without any delay. On the other hand the UK has a great multicultural and diversified student community which is an opportunity for me to learn with lot of students from different nationalities. UK education brand is highly respected by employers in our country as UK degree prepare graduates with academic competencies, developed personal and professional skills that are imperative for organizational success. The transferrable skills graduates carry forward from UK are pivotal for transforming organisational growth and gain competitive advantages. This is also a reason to study again in UK. In a recent Survey of International Graduate Outcomes 2019 by Universities UK International produced by iGraduate shows that 82% international graduates say that their UK degree are worth the financial investment and similar number of graduates say that they are satisfied or very satisfied with their careers. Nearly 83% feel that UK degree has helped them to get jobs. These aspects have driven my ambition to gain the degree from a UK institution.

The University of Hertfordshire is a modern, employability focussed institution which is home to around 25,000 students. Students can look forward to studying in a multi-cultural environment comprising of student from over 90 different nationalities. It is home to a truly international community, and the university invests heavily to enhance the campus facilities. Also, the University holds the prestigious Gold Teaching Excellence Framework award which shows the dedication of the university towards continued teaching excellence. The university provides support to students to attain industrial placements through providing business-focused knowledge throughout the curriculum. This allows student to gain exceptional practical skills, which would otherwise be difficult to attain. The graduates of this university are more work ready as a result. Also, 96% of Hertfordshire graduates are employed or engaged in further study within 6 months of graduating. 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 University of Hertfordshire.
