Education is the most important tool that is applied in the contemporary world to succeed. Better
education is very necessary for all to go ahead in the life and get success. It develops confidence and
helps building personality of a person. The whole education has been divided into three divisions
such as the primary education, secondary education and Higher Secondary education. All the
divisions of education have their own importance and benefits. Primary education prepares the base
which helps throughout the life, secondary education prepares the path for further study and higher
secondary education prepares the ultimate path of the future and whole life. Most important
decision in one’s life could probably be their educational advancements. This might be the reason for
my desire to attain the highest level of education. Self-evaluating percent myself I have decided to
pursue my master’s in business analytics in UK. This choice has followed logically after cautiously
considering my educational environment.

Intermediate in 2018 with 72.3% and Bachelor of business administration in 2022 with 5.23 GPA in

Why Master’s in Business analytics:

years, the businesses have rapidly integrated across restricting borders, and anyone with higher goals
must have an international perspective and realities of different international arenas. I am unique, and
uniquely fortunate, to have a diverse background both academically and professionally which has
exposed me to different continents, peoples, cultures, and languages. Being raised in a business family,
it’s natural for me in wanting to purse my career around business. Since I am on the verge of gaining

believe imaginatively and autonomously in inspiring education surroundings, provide them positive,

of an elegant course with top education services, outstanding relations with a number of projects and

Why Not India?

There are very few top-notch colleges in India like IIMs, ISB, XLRI and some IITs which are very
illustrious for providing masters course but clearing the entrance exam is a tough nut to crack and
requires one complete year to prepare for exam and the result are not predictive even after putting
plethora of effort into it. I decided to do my masters from UK and not in India as I don’t want to fritter
away my time in the preparation of the entrance exam.

Why Not Some Other Countries?

I explored some other countries as well which suits my career preference like USA, Australia, Canada,
Ireland, New Zealand etc. Initiated my search from US, there the cost of living expense would be out
of my budget and visa issues will keep hampering the students there so contemplated to do master in
US will not be a prudent decision.

In Canada, institutions like University of British Columbia, Ryerson University, Carleton University,
Western University, and much more top college provide MS in Data Science but the cultures
followed there is not falls in my interest domain. Hence, I rescind plan to go Canada. After comparing
universities in New Zealand and UK, I found that rankings of UK universities were much higher and I
was also eligible for a direct entry to Master’s program in UK. Hence, I decided to pursue my Master’s
degree in UK. Besides, there are other important advantages of studying in UK, its higher education
and qualifications have a remarkable international reputation and the UK degree is recognized by
global universities, top employers and government bodies creating huge number of chances to get
