Business Administration

The idea of studying business administration has appealed to me greatly and has encouraged me to further develop my education following this path. I have a keen enthusiasm to pursue a degree in Business Administration as I enjoy the challenges it sets and find the many different areas of business you are able to branch out into, very exciting! From research about the subject I’m expecting to greatly further my learning of how businesses operate and be able to then put my knowledge into practice. I am confident within myself and find communication with others easy. I want to study at university to deepen my understanding of the knowledge and skills I already have. I believe I am very capable of organising people and managing the logistics of running a company. I am keen on all aspects of business, but am particularly interested in Business Administration. I feel I am a good communicator and wish to develop my teamwork and leadership skills. From my experiences and my personal ambition I am confident that I have the necessary self-motivation and commitment to succeed in Business.

This is a preview of the whole essay

I am currently studying English Literature, which is helping me to develop my communication skills and has given me the ability to write with clarity and precision. I am studying Media Studies, which is progressing my understanding of advertising, used throughout business and also Geography, which is developing my analytical skills in report writing, but also helps me combine my theoretical studies and practical work a skill I will be able to use on my university course. I studied I.T for G.C.S.E then furthering my knowledge, I studied I.C.T for A.S Level as I recognise that a skill for information technology is useful, if not essential, for the progression of business in modern society. During the year I am studying my three A levels, I have also decided to study Business Studies at A.S Level, due to an increase in eagerness to pursue the subject but also to ensure I have a basic understanding of business operations for further use in my learning in University.

I have managed to balance my ‘A’ Levels with a part-time job and an enjoyable school and social life, which has not only developed my skills of working as part of a team and organising my time efficiently but has also left me with experience of responsibility and leadership, when being chosen to supervise a particular area of the business I work in. I have been involved in voluntary work for ‘Save the Children’, which I believed broadened my perspective on caring for others. I received a certificate of excellence from the education business partnership scheme, Compact. I have also received a ‘Four Star’ award from the Amateur Athletic Association of England, recognising my good athletic ability. Throughout school I have received academic awards, special awards (presented for effort and improvement) and I have also received the Victrix Ludorum for achieving the best overall points throughout a varied base of sporting events. I participated in a one-day outdoor and adventurous activities course, which is run by The Royal Regiment of Wales and The Royal Welch Fusiliers. Elements of leadership skills, teamwork, challenges and physical activities were included, three of which I hope will become helpful in use with my chosen degree in university. I have also travelled to many countries, including America, Spain, Cyprus, France and Belgium, which has broadened my knowledge and awareness of other cultures.

I am a successful and enthusiastic horse-riding competitor, and have participated in many different disciplines of the equine world. I have previously qualified to compete at the Horse of the Year Show, which takes much persistence and determination and although I will miss competing I look forward to the new opportunities that will be offered to me at university.
