Dear ,

　　My motivation to study Accounting /Information Business at degree leveldevelops from my enjoyment from the single Business Studies at AS, currentlyconverted into a double award at A2. For me, Business Studies has proved to be afascinating subject, one that offers unlimited professional opportunities. Mycoursework case studies of both Norwich Union and Zenith Conservatories havegiven me an insight into complexities involved in operating such variedbusinesses, which I have found most intriguing, particularly those which relateto any financial considerations. Studying these business subjects at degreelevel will allow me to explore, in depth, a range of stimulating andinterdisciplinary topics which I feel will give me a broader understandingtowards the theories and practices of management in different organizations inrelation to a Financial/Information environment

　　At school, I have participated in many fund raising events, open days andfurther education fairs. I regularly collect for Save the Children charity andhave subsequently become a member. Extra-curricular activities have incorporateddrama productions of Grease, the promotion of the School production of West SideStory as part of my Marketing unit and a heavy involvement in the preparationand publishing of our year 11 yearbook. These were demanding tasks, whichincluded budgeting our costs and materials to keep within a specific pricelimit. Although it was tough, I found it extremely satisfying, especially afterseeing the final results. My AS Business course has given me an understanding oforganizations as a whole, but experiences such as working on the Year book andduties in my part time job has allowed me to expand my knowledge andconsciousness of such financial topics. My ICT skills have developed highlythrough doing Vocational A levels, which I feel is invaluable in the Businessfield. The main thing I have learnt is that for all businesses, financialmatters are imperative; it is the core of any organization and beingknowledgeable in such issues attracts me

　　My communication skills have been enhanced through my part time employmentwith River Island. My promotion to weekend footwear manager is developingknowledge of financial record keeping, problem solving, meeting weekly salestargets and teamwork awareness, which I feel can be used and put into practicewhilst studying my preferred degree course

　　From the age of seven I attended a Bury St Edmunds Gymnastics club andcompeted at County, Regional and National levels. The feeling that I got when Iplayed a role within the team to gain the gold medal was amazing, equal to thefeeling when I achieved an individual gold medal as the top National aroundcompetitor. The realization of how important managing school work with a hobbywhich was not only physically demanding, but emotionally challenging has givenme a understanding of how to be realistic, a skill which is valuable whenplanning certain business strategies

　　I believe that during my sixth form studies I have grown in both confidenceand maturity, preparing me for the opportunity to study at university. My choiceof AS and A levels, along with other academic and personal achievements havehelped to consolidate and support my desire to study Business at degree level. Ibelieve that I will be fully committed to successfully completing Accountancy/Information Business related degree and relish in any opportunities which aregiven to help me achieve my aspirations in a business related career.

　　Yours sincerely
