I completed my bachelor’s degree in finance at North South University, one of the top five universities in my country. My father is a successful businessman, and I have always looked up to him for inspiration. Growing up in a business-oriented family, I developed the ambition to start my own business after gaining experience and building a strong network in the corporate sector, alongside my academic pursuits.
I have always aimed for top-ranked educational institutions, and the University of Birmingham was high on my list. Two years ago, I decided to pursue my Masters at one of the Russell Group universities. I applied to four universities and received offers, along with scholarships, from all of them. However, the University of Birmingham stood out by offering me the highest scholarship, and being a founding member of the Russell Group made it an easy choice for me. I know how competitive it is to secure a place in a Russell Group university, but for me, the process was surprisingly smooth. Even when I received the scholarship, I couldn’t believe it at first, it all felt too good to be true. Perhaps I was lucky.
My next goal is to achieve a distinction from the University of Birmingham and secure a placement at one of the top ranked companies. I understand that dreaming is easy, but achieving those dreams requires hard work. However, I believe that dreams shape us into who we are meant to be. We only have one life, so why not strive to accomplish something remarkable?
