I am
[name of the applicant], born on [birth date]. I am a permanent resident
of Rajshree Talkies, Dahisar, Mumbai, India with a small sized family consisting
of my grandfather, father, mother, elder brother and me.
Regarding my academic qualifications, I completed my Bachelor of Public Health
from [name of the University] Pune in 2020 with 87.31%. After that I joined [name
of the company] as a junior research officer and have been working there till this
time. Similarly, I attended the IELTS exam on [full date] and scored an overall band
score of 7.5 with individual band score of listening 6.5, reading 6.5, Writing 7.0 and
Speaking 7.5. With this academic and English proficiency, I am planning to pursue
my Master of Public Health from [name of the college].
After completing my undergraduate degree with an outstanding grade, I got my first
job at [name of the company]. I have been working there as a junior research officer
till this time. This project is focusing on sanitation in rural India. Collecting data from
the villages, documenting them and making reports are some of my responsibilities.
Basically, I am assisting my senior project head. After working nearly 1 year, now I
feel that there is so much more to learn and study. Thus I planned for my further
study.
I found out that my home country provides theoretical based studies due to which
students are deprived of many opportunities and skills. The education system in India
is still based on traditional ways and we still have outdated teaching and learning
methods lacking modernization, innovation and creativity. The courses over here are
mainly focused on providing theoretical education and the students get a very low
amount of practical exposure. Hence, the graduates from my home country lack the
skills and experience to apply their knowledge in real life situations and as a result
there is difficulty to get employment opportunities in international job markets. When
it comes to education I do not want to take a risk so I finally decided for study
overseas.
After my decision to study abroad, I started to search for my desired course in various
universities in different corners of the world. During my research, I found out about
Australia, the USA and the UK and Denmark as the best academic destinations in the
world. I did not choose Denmark because of its language barrier and extreme weather
conditions. The UK is on the top of the list of world best countries to pursue
education. Furthermore, the tuition fees are comparatively lower in the UK than in any
of those countries. So, it wasn't a hard decision for me to choose the UK as my
destination to continue my education. There are around 130 universities in the UK
counting all four countries (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland). And out
of those universities, University of Oxford and University of Cambridge are in the top
two positions in the World University Rankings 2019 published by the Times Higher
Education. Students from over 200 different countries choose to study in the UK due
to its affordability and high standards of education, which is one of the reasons for me
choosing the UK. I can observe that the education system in the UK is more
progressive and systematic. With their scientific-based courses and expert
professionals as tutors, they enable learners to become creative and practically
capable. The UK is the home for many big industries and research centers which helps
a student to learn about the dynamics of various fields.
Furthermore, the UK government offers a PSW (post study work) program which will
be very helpful for me because I will get a chance to learn new techniques, skills and
to get experiences in my related field. Their culture fascinates me a lot. Their lifestyle
attracts me like a magnet. I am really fascinated by its health benefits and eco-friendly
nature. Besides this, the UK is also one of the safest destinations for International
students to study and to live in as well, where students from different parts of the
world come to pursue their education. After a lot of research I found that [name of
your chosen college] will fit me best and I am willing to pursue my MPH from the
University which has international recognition. I got highly impressed by the website
itself as I have also watched a lot of testimonials which seems very promising. With
178 years of teaching people from different corners of the world in the heart of
London, the university holds the reputation of providing qualitative and world
renowned education. This university is among the top 10 universities in the country
for teaching quality according to the Sunday Times. The university focuses on
practical learning including field trips, projects, group activities and case studies.
Furthermore, the university consists of a global family with a network of over 28,000
alumni from across the world. According to the survey by NSS (National Student
Survey), one of the biggest student surveys in the world carried out by the Office for
Students on behalf of the UK funding and regulatory bodies, [name of your chosen
college] is now [ranking] Higher Education Institutions in England for overall student
satisfaction. Moreover, the university has been named as the fastest rising university
in the North for the second year running as it has been placed in.... position, showing a
rise of 21 places, in the 2020 league table for Teaching Quality. Moreover, the course
content is perfectly designed to provide practical exposure to the students along with
theoretical knowledge which makes the university more appealing.
I wanted to pursue a Master of Public Health in the UK because I have always been
interested to learn more about public health and safety. I believe this degree is perfect
for me because I will get to learn all the subjects and additionally I will get to learn
from the London based organizations as I was always keen to know about the work
practices of people in their workplace. This full-time course merges the study of
epidemiology, biostatistics and health research methods with public health skills. It
will suit those with both medical and non-medical backgrounds who are interested in
developing their research skills and public health career. Course lecturers are leaders
in academic fields of statistics, epidemiology (chronic diseases and infectious
diseases) and health services research. Guest speakers include public health
professionals with experience in developing, managing and implementing
interventions in public health.
I believe that Education is the most important thing because an uneducated person can
see water in the river whereas; an educated person can see electricity in the water. The
MPH program which I have chosen has a perfect mixture of theoretical and practical
aspects. As I was always keen to know the work ethics and the way people work in a
real work environment and with this program I will get an opportunity to live and
practice the work life. After the completion of studies I will be eligible to apply for a
Post Study Work (PSW) Visa. During the time of PSW, I will try my best to invest all
my learning and to be productive to its peak. In India, there is a need for qualified
public health experts, so I will use my professional skills, knowledge and the exposure
for the development of the public health sector in my community and the whole
nation. After graduating from [name of your chosen college], I plan on returning to
India and initially work in the [few names of the top ranked health organization of
India] as they are the dominant projects at present and the career growth here is also
very bright. I am very hopeful that I will get the opportunity to enrol at your
University to pursue my post graduation.
Yours Sincerely,
