Statement of Purpose

Introduction & Academic Background

I, Harpreet Kaur Gill, an Indian citizen with a passport numbered U8345076, wish to apply to study for Business
and Management BA (Hons) degree based at University of Central Lancashire,United Kingdom. My date of
birth is 24 November 2002. I am writing this letter to elaborate on my intentions to pursue this program. In 2018, I
successfully completed my matriculation under Punjab School Education Board. I have completed my senior
secondary schooling from the same board in 2020. After that, I started preparing for the IELTS and I appeared in
the exam in July 2022 and achieved 6.5 band score overall. After getting my IELTS result, I research about the
various nations to study at and eventually choose the United Kingdom for my higher education.

Why did I choose to study in the United Kingdom?

The UK and its universities have an undisputed reputation for academic excellence and quality with thousands of
courses available for students, as well as being an ideal destination for many decades for over a million international
students from all over the world. There are a variety of reasons why I considered studying in the UK. Besides the
guaranteed academic excellence in the UK, I will gain a lot of value from this one-of-a-kind experience due to the
high standards of life and global exposure. UK’s academic qualifications are recognized universally and respected,
no matter where I end up being employed. The education will provide me with a solid foundation and boost my
potential for having a higher salary and finding exactly the job I want. Every British university is recognized
worldwide for having creative and challenging environments that help their students push themselves to the extreme.
Their standards are incredibly high, and year after year, the universities are tested for how well they are meeting
modern challenges. The higher education system in the UK has been the basis for higher education standards in
other countries for years. UK is one of the safest countries with good standards of living, which encourage people of
different culture and traditions. UK offers significantly lower and cost effective annual tuition fee for many popular
courses at universities and institutions.

Lancashire, England and is one of the most diverse places to study. The university is an inclusive institution with a

Future Goals
After my undergraduate program in Business and Management, I would like to leverage my academic proficiencies
and pedagogic training to work in a well reputed MNC in India to gain experience. India is a growing economy
where commerce and private businesses have always been the flag bearers of the economy. Both big and small
companies require business professionals to remain relevant in competitive times. The country is home to 105
Unicorns with a value of $338 billion. There are many startups coming up in India as well big multinational
companies. Over the years, and especially since the privatization in 1991, the government is constantly engaging in
Public-Private Partnerships as this is the most appropriate mode of employment generation. As per my research, I
can work as a Business Manager, Business Associate, HR Executive, Sales and Marketing Manager, Advertising
Head etc at organizations such as Amazon, KPMG, Deloitte, PwC, EY, MSL, ICICI Bank etc. As a start, I will be
earning approximately INR 7-8 Lacs annually and this is going to increase substantially with experience. Eventually,
after gaining enough experience and expertise, I wish to establish my own venture in my home country, India. I’m
certain that the management training and facilitation I will receive from the course would endow me with the
required drive and impetus to make my entrepreneurial intent successful.

As a student intending to pursue my under graduation in the UK, I am completely aware of the financial obligations
that I need to fulfill during the course of my studies. In order to ensure that all expenses such as tuition fees,
accommodation and living, travel and all other expenses are secured and managed, my family will be sponsoring
me. Moreover all the required documents to testify my financial wherewithal have been attached herewith for your

country India.
