My name is Sonya Ghosh. I am 28 years old and my nationality is Bangladeshi. I have a desire to gain a deep understanding of the key principles, practices of leadership, and subjects affecting today’s leaders in the NHS and this is why I want to pursue the MSc Healthcare Leadership programme at BPP University. I believe that if I am successful on this course I can use my knowledge and skills to help others with great satisfaction from giving something back to the community. Following my SSC and HSC, I completed my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from University of Chittagong, Bangladesh in 2017. To enhance my academic knowledge I admitted into University of Dhaka, Bangladesh and earned my Master of Social Science in Clinical Social Work. I have a great communication skills and leadership quality. Some of my personal interests include socializing, watching documentaries and travelling. Right now, I am working as a Nursing Instructor at Central Hospital Nursing Institute. I have been working here since August, 2017. From my workplace, I have gained confidence which is important in everyday life. My English Language skills have been honed with a lot of practice. In addition to this, My medium of instruction was in English which also plays a vital role in the development of my English skills. Actually, I am a very sociable person and I want to relish the chance to utilize my earned skills in a professional context. Moreover, I am highly aware of BPP University’s outstanding reputation and it will be a privilege for me to acquire more knowledge within the program as I still have so much to learn.

I have researched a lot of Universities and have decided to study at BPP University because of its good reputation in teaching. BPP University is a leading UK institution with a strong commitment to the development of professional skills. BPP University’s cutting edge campus with state-of-the-art facilities and innovative teaching methods supports the learning effectively in a range of styles that include interactive lectures, video and written case studies, individual group exercises, both face to face and online, presentation by visiting experts, engagement skills sessions, including presentations, board room discussions and simulations. Moreover, the university engage students as part of their success. Studying here would give me the chance to differentiate myself with distinct accomplishments and success. By researching the programme key facts, I have found some demanding modules in the MSc Healthcare Leadership programme which are adjusted with the current industry needs The course contents includes Exploring the key elements in Healthcare Leadership, Evidence-Based & Evidence-Informed Leadership Practice, and Dissertation. The course will help me to learn the NHS Commissioning Board’s new regions. Furthermore, I will be able to learn the leadership tool, methods, and trends which will help me to achieve my future career goal. I think this is the correct decision to accomplish my career goals and expectations and I believe that my previously learned skills and knowledge will help me to learn at this level as my previous course is related to my chosen course. On top of this, the thing that motivated me to choose UK is that it maintains a quality management system with high standard in all fields. According to my research, UK degree is globally by international universities, top employers and government bodies, creating huge number of chances to get placed with leading companies and I am expecting to find the UK to be a relaxed and a welcoming place for me to acclimatize to.

In the current day in Bangladesh, the healthcare sector needs more skilful employees to improve the operations of an organization. In order to stay relevant in the industry I need to acquire knowledge on the latest developments in leadership theories and methods. I have seen many better empty position in this area such as Medical Director, Healthcare consultant, Health information manager which require an overseas MSc degree. After completion, I want to be a Healthcare Consultant in a well reputed NGOs or firms such as UNDP, Helen Keller International (HKI), or United Nations. I believe that this course would be the right choice me to achieve my career objectives. However, I am determined to study this course in the UK as the study environment in my country is quite different and we only have the opportunity to study with local students. There is a total of 143 universities in the UK, 108 of which are in England, 19 in Scotland, 8 universities in Wales and 8 in Northern Ireland. Of the top 10 universities in the world, 4 are held by UK institutions. In the UK, living cost and tuition fees is lower than other top destinations (e.g., USA, Canada, or Australia). UK prepares their students academically and give them soft skills which is helpful for their future career. 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. My home countries institutions follows old traditional systems where education system is memory based and curriculum are not updated with latest developments. So, I believe that the UK is the right choice for my higher study destination.
