STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

I am thrilled to present myself as Mst. Fahmida Akhter, a Bangladeshi citizen. I am interested

in applying for a MSc in International Business at the University of Gloucestershire.
However, the international business is the purchasing and selling of the goods, commodities
and services outside its national borders.

In terms of academic credentials, I received a Bachelor of Social Science (BSS) in Sociology

from M.C. College, Sylhet under National University Gazipur, with a CGPA of 2.75 on a scale
of 4.00. the result of which was made public on September 27, 2016. From 4th March 2017
until the present, I worked as a “Assistant Manager” at HITECH LAB & SURGICAL. In
addition, I was required to take the OIETC test for English language requirements, and I
achieved an amazing overall score of B2+ with no band lower than B2.

As I progress through this course, it will help me quickly progress in my career, whether I
choose to become a successful entrepreneur. This course is accredited by the Chartered
Management Institute (CMI) and is aimed at producing internationally minded graduates with
the qualities and transferable skills needed for employment in an international business context.
Learning from experienced international business professionals, I will develop a global mindset
while being encouraged and supported throughout my course. I will be supported in completing
a live project while undertaking a business placement, with the aim of helping the organisation
devise an international strategy. I will be able to start building my international network of
contacts and learn about aspects such as how cultural differences affect international business.
I will learn that an understanding of the theory and application of marketing strategies in
diverse environments is central to successful business decision-making in this era of economic
change and internationalisation. The challenges faced by businesses in today's global,
interconnected markets and how these can be addressed through the design and implementation
of market-driven strategies will be examined. I will be encouraged to rationalise and defend
strategic marketing choices and evaluate the bridge between theory and practice, with a
particular emphasis on the complexity of this decision-making in an international context.

I picked the United Kingdom to further my studies because of its good reputation and long
history of delivering high-quality education. According to the national student survey, after
graduation, 84 percent of international students are satisfied with their learning experience in
the United Kingdom. Education is less expensive than in other countries. Because of the direct
relationship to the international studies system, there are numerous chances for practical
learning. Furthermore, a British academic degree is highly valued throughout the world.
Studying here is also advantageous because of the inexpensive housing and living costs.

Because it is one of the most well-known and appealing destinations in the UK, I chose
University of Gloucestershire. The University of Gloucestershire is a public university
situated in Gloucestershire with three campuses in total. The university is the recent successor
of a large number of merged, name-changed and reformed institutions of further and higher
education. Its history spans nearly two centuries. It originates from the merger of two distinct
strands of educational provision in Gloucestershire being that provided by Local Government
and that founded by the Anglican Church. The University has scored 90/100 and are placed in
the top tier of the new SOS-UK net zero ranking. The University carries a silver rating in the
Government’s Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF), which rates participating universities
as Gold, Silver or Bronze. Ranked 6th globally in the Postgraduate Research Experience
Survey, 2019. University of Gloucestershire achieves place 84. New edition of Scimago
Institutions Rankings - Universities. University of Gloucestershire ranked #486.

I believe that this MSc International Business, together with my prior credentials, will help me
achieve my goals, and I plan to return to my native country as soon as my studies are over.
From my opinion, I would like to work as an international HR for companies such as Genex
Infosys, Bashundhara Group Akij, Merico, Otobi, and a few others are the organizations that
will lead me to a successful career.

I sincerely want to get accepted into the MSc program at your esteemed university in order to
fulfill my goals.

Kind Regards,
Mst. Fahmida Akhter
