Studying Accounting & Finance

I chose to pursue the Accounting and Finance because I have always been passionate about working with numbers and understanding financial systems. From a young age, I found satisfaction in solving mathematical problems, which later developed into a deep interest in how businesses manage their finances. I'm fascinated by how financial decisions impact organizations and economies, and I want to be part of that world, helping businesses make informed, strategic choices.

This course offers the perfect blend of theory and practical skills that will allow me to develop expertise in areas like financial analysis, tax, auditing, and management accounting. I am motivated to learn how to apply these concepts in real-world scenarios, making a meaningful impact in the finance industry. Ultimately, I hope to become a qualified accountant and work toward a successful career in the financial sector.

How will the support from the Sir Bob Murray CBE Scholarship help?

I plan to use the support from the Sir Bob Murray CBE Scholarship to enhance my studies in several meaningful ways. I would invest in additional learning resources, such as textbooks, online courses, and professional software like Excel and accounting tools, to deepen my knowledge and skills in financial analysis. These tools are essential for mastering the technical aspects of the degree and staying ahead in a competitive field.

Additionally, I would use the funds to attend industry-related workshops, seminars, or conferences, where I can network with professionals and learn about the latest trends in finance. Gaining exposure to real-world applications of what I'm learning will broaden my perspective and help me apply classroom concepts to practical scenarios. I'd also like to explore internship opportunities, potentially using the scholarship money to cover travel costs or unpaid placements. These experiences would provide hands-on exposure to the finance industry, preparing me for future employment while strengthening my academic foundation.
