STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

INTRODUCTION:

My name is Om Santosh Kolapkar; I was born on 26/10/2001. I live in the central city
of state Maharashtra named Sangamner in India. I am extrinsically as well as
intrinsically motivated to study and earn my master’s in the field of business from a
well-reputed college inUnited Kingdom. This experience will give me multiple
opportunities to ameliorate my expertise and professional skills. Also, many scholars
from my country have studied in the United Kingdom to enhance their abilities which
have proved advantageous for the country. We are a family of 4 members including me.
My Father’s name is Santosh, who is a businessman. My mother’s name is Vaishali, who
is a Housewife. I also have 1 older brother and his name is Jay.

ACADEMIC BACKGROUND:

I completed my schooling in the year 2017 with an 8.5 CGPA in 10 th grade from the SSC
board. Then, in the year 2019, I, fortunately, achieved 53.69% in my 12 th grade in
Science Stream (PCMB) from Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher
Secondary Education. After that in the year 2022, I accomplished my undergraduate
course which was a Bachelor’s degree in commerce. Apart from all of the above I have
also played badminton at the state and district level simultaneously with my bachelor's
degree (2020-2022) and acquired an ‘A’ grade and I can proudly say that this
experience helped me in developing my leadership qualities, made me more confident,
enhanced my speaking and communication skills via group discussion sessions,
understanding the importance of physical fitness, inculcated a sense of unity and
discipline in me, along with it adventurous activities like camping and rifle shooting
developed inside me a more optimistic and daring behaviour and also motivated me in
becoming a youth of the country who can promote how physical fitness is important.

WHY THE UNITED KINGDOM?

There are plenty of reasons why I want to continue my further studies in the United
Kingdom, including personal and professional motives. First I would like to start with
discussing the professional objectives, after searching and reading about the UK’s
education system on the internet I found a sentence written that the UK is considered
the best and safest city in terms of providing education to the locals as well as
international students and this sentence encouraged me to search more about it. Then
after my further research, I got aware of the fact that

The degrees which one acquires from UK universities are been accepted and recognized
by the entire world which offers ‘n’ number of opportunities or options in the future.
After that the 2nd best part was I don’t have to spend a large sum of money to gain
education in the UK since it is a very cost-effective country in terms of education.
Simultaneously, I also got attuned to the fact that the UK offers a wide range of technical
facilities which helps students in living a more comfortable life since it has become
extremely important to upgrade one with all the modern technological developments to
survive in this modern and globalized world. Also, I read about the tide that the UK was
the first country which introduced the scheme called the “innovative school net
program” in which the UK linked its schools as well as libraries with the internet and
this is the fact that made me more positive and confident about the country’s education
system making me realize that I took the best decision regarding continuing my further
studies in the UK. Apart from this I also communicated with my friends and relatives
who are studying at present as well as those who have completed their education in the
UK. And after the hours of communication, a conclusion which came out was only
positive for example I discovered that the UK is a country where you get an extremely
safe environment, you get all the basic facilities available everywhere, you get an
experience of living in one of the most amazing territories which have extremely
beautiful surroundings, positive and awesome culture plus the locals there are very
helpful and supportive and also have very friendly behaviour. Along with it the colleges
and universities there are very well maintained, are very neat and clean and helps you
in developing all the skills which one need to build a successful career in future in any
field. And the very important thing which I experienced after communicating with my
friends in the UK was that they have changed and transformed themselves in a very
positive way like they have developed a rich personality which reflects so much
confidence in them and also they have become more focused and hard-working than
before. Apart from all of the above on a personal note I can say that the UK is the same
country which I used to dream about studying in and having some of the life
experiences In along with it I feel like I will be the luckiest person if I get chance to study
in the UK.

WHY NOT INDIA?:

I think I can say I have many reasons why I don’t want to continue my further studies in
India. The first reason is that since I have completed most of the education in India, I
only want to experience the education system of an entirely different country. The
education system and I want to know how it feels like to study in or become a student of
a different country and know about the students of other countries. Furthermore, since I
was very young I used to and even today I dream of gaining education from UK
universities, make locals friends because I love making friends from different countries
because according to my way of thinking this is the best way to learn and can even help
in broadening your horizon regarding distinctive cultures, religions, and people, as well
as u, get a lot of experience from others. Along with it, there’s no denying that developed
countries always offers and give more opportunities than the countries which are still in
developing conditions and since India is also a developing country I feel like with the
same efforts u can achieve more in a developed nation as compared to what you put in
developing nations.
WHY THIS UNIVERSITY & COURSE?:

Choosing a country like the United Kingdom for a student like me gives me a golden
opportunity to join various top-ranked universities. I chose the University of West of
Scotland as my first preference. As per my research, it is popular for its vibrant &
cosmopolitan student population. The University of Bedfordshire offers more than an
education. With campuses throughout the Lutan Campus University’s size and diversity
give students the advantage of partnerships with industry leaders, the latest in hands-
on computer technology, a variety of class sizes, and full-time, part-time, and continuing
education options. Education should be flexible and accessible, so the University of
Bedforfshirealso employs various methods of teaching – from in-class lectures and
online learning to co-op and field placements – in programs related to applied arts,
business, financial services, and technology.

I chose to study at the University of Bedforfshirebecause when I went through the

website of the university I came to know that the university offers a full range of
Foundation, Undergraduate, Postgraduate, Certification, and Research courses across
various faculties – including Business, Financial, and Technologies ext.

When I further researched on the internet, I came to know in regards to the high quality
of teaching is one of the biggest reasons students come to this college. Much academic
staff is qualified highly.

While going through the course content of the college website, I realized that its courses
are grounded in a creative approach to teaching that blends theory with practice.
Academic staff across all disciplines has the substantial industry experience and
maintain links with professional bodies so students at university benefit from teaching
that is underpinned by real-world application. Through their research and consultancy
engagements with leading global organizations, the college staffs help students to make
the transition into employment, which is the most important aspect of who is looking
for a successful career ahead.

I choose Postgraduate Certificate – International Management MSc as an ideal choice for

me to fast-track my career or learn more about the realities. The graduate certificate
program prepares and transforms students to become specialized in one of the fastest-
growing sectors in management services.

The curriculum will facilitate students with a set of skills for working in a client-facing
position and behind-the-scenes roles with companies; insurance companies; trust
companies; and investment, wealth management, and marketing firms. They will also
learn to manage their finances, provide business advice to the public and pursue
industry-demanded certifications. This program helps develop my communication
skills, critical thinking, financial planning, interpersonal and relationship skills,
teamwork, and collaboration.
FUTURE PLANS:

My plans include securing and achieving a position as a financially stable and

independent man. Also after completing my studies, gaining all the valuable experience,
and developing both hard and soft skills I aim at returning to my country India and
apply for my desired job once I achieve stability in my professional & financial life I
dream to start my business and after that own an NGO (irrespective of gender and age)
and help needy people as much as possible. Apart from this I also aim at setting a good
example of how important it is to become independent and follow dreams to live a
peaceful life for my sisters my family and every single individual around me so that it
will motivate them to do more, become more confident and also become successful in
life.

FINANCIAL BACKGROUND AND SPONSORS:

I am getting all of the financial support from my father only. My father has an
occupation of Electronic Stores as well as Construction business. He is the only one who
motivated me to go to the UK and continue my studies there because it will not only
help me achieve a more successful career but will also help in motivating my brother to
focus on building and living a productive life and following the path of hard work. At
last, I wholeheartedly want to thank my parents for building such good relationships
with everyone and working so hard that today their efforts are becoming positively
responsible for propelling me towards a healthy and happy future and following all my
dreams.
