Personal Statement
Economic recession is a disaster facing all economies around the globe. The few with the ability to forecast such a disaster before it hit, are financial forecasters and economists. They predict before it happens and try to eradicate it after. They are the real saviors in our world and becoming one of them is my ultimate dream.
I decided to develop my skills about figures and calculations and entered Accounting and Finance major at London Metropolitan University. There, I attained honors for good academic results. I realized that mathematics allows making forecasts and analyses, and this makes ordinary calculations meaningful. I was becoming more and more interested in finance and economics. That is why I decided to start my career in this sphere. After graduating in July 2015, I started working in the accounting firm in London. There, I got valuable practical experience and understood the extent to which math is important in every sphere of economic life on the personal, industrial and national levels. Currently, I have a plan of doing ACCA after fulfilling my academic ambitions.
I am interested in pursuing my academic career and going to apply for Master’s degree. MSC Finance and Econometrics at Queen Mary University of London offers the best conditions for getting a Master’s degree. This university is one of the leading (4th place) in the fields of finance and economics according to the UK’s ranking.

One of the reasons that I choose Queen Mary University is its affordability, as it is one of the most affordable universities of such high level. Moreover, its location is very convenient for me in terms of transportation.

Moreover, my Bachelor’s degree in accounting and finance can serve a perfect background for this, as I have experience and understanding of how business and commerce works. I believe that Master’s degree can increase my chance of landing in a better and well-paid job.

I am sure Queen Mary University’s knowledge will provide me with an opportunity of satisfying my academic, personal and career goals.
