Accounting and Finance

Taking Principle of Account during O-Level and continuing with A-Level Accounting gives me a strong rudimentary knowledge and at the same time boosts my desire to be able to obtain a degree in Accounting and Finance.

Moreover, A-Level Mathematics has enhanced my problem solving skills, logical thinking and also learned data analysis techniques which can be useful when learning the ‘Quantitative Methods’ module that forms part of my course. Also, A-Level Business Studies has broadened my knowledge on how a business operates in order to gain success. Whit this combination, I am convinced that I am well prepared to take a degree in Accounting and Finance at your university.

I obtained a distinction in the Australian Mathematics Competition and secured a position among the top 13% in my region. Studying Accounting and Finance would require a person to have a thorough reasoning and the capability to solve complicated problems and this proves that I am capable of it. I have also represented my school for multimedia presentation, National English Debate and the launching of solar panel power plant in Brunei Darussalam. From these experiences, I have gained confidence in public speaking.

In today’s fast-paced society, I consider a vigorous mind to start from a healthy body and exercising is the best way to work the mind. I enjoy playing netball and being a member of the school netball team, I am usually selected to represent the school to numerous competitions. Also since the sport requires good strategy and team work accompanied with great determination which I believe would benefit whilst working in groups in the near future.

Moreover, I volunteered to be an assistant to a preschool teacher and it was an eye-opening experience. Despite aiding in teaching the children, I was taught to record the children’s profiles, handling them while the teachers were not around and discussing matters with their parents.
