GTE STATEMENT
Please type your GTE statement in this section.
You must check the word count before you submit this document as it will not be accepted by the admissions team
if it is over the 300-word count.
I am Amanjot Kaur, an Indian by nationality, applying to study VDBE Diploma of Business (Enterprise) at Victoria University Sydney leading to Bachelor of Business (Major
in Accounting). I chose to study this course because I am highly aspired to pursue a career as Chartered Accountant in future because I have observed a huge scope in this
profession in India. I decided to study this course at Victoria University (VU) as focuses on providing opportunity to students for professional development to help them to prepare
as a dynamic workforce in the field of their major areas. I found VU's adoption of the innovative VU Block Model very unique as it allows students to complete one subject at a
time, which is very impressive. I preferred Australia against the home country due to the value and recognition of the Australian qualification I will get compared to the
qualification from any Indian education providers. Though there are few elite institutes in India which are globally recognised such as Indian Institute of Technology and Indian
Institute of Management, however, to get admission in these institutions are more than difficult for an ordinary student. The qualification gained form ordinary higher education
providers are hardly recognised nationally. Realising this bitter truth, I opted for studying in Australia. I did try searching for a course in the USA, UK and Canada as well. But I
encountered with some factors that I found distracting me. For instance, to get admission in good universities in the USA, students are required to present Scholastic Assessment
Test (SAT) or American College Testing (ACT) score which is very tough and time consuming. Similarly, when I focused my interest for my studies in UK and Canada, I found
weather of these countries unfavorable for me. Hence, I dropped my idea of going to these countries and rather finalized Australia as my destination country for higher studies.
