STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

I am Justin Tom, a dedicated and aspiring nursing student hailing

from the serene town of Pala in Kottayam, known for its
breathtaking natural beauty. My academic journey
has been characterized by a commitment to excellence, reflected
in my achievements of scoring 72% in 10th grade in 2022 and
72.8% in 12th grade in 2024, specializing in biology science.

From a young age, I have been deeply inspired by the healthcare

profession, particularly nursing, due to my grandmother's battle
with Asthma. Accompanying her on numerous hospital visits
exposed me to the compassionate care provided by nurses, leaving
a lasting impression on me. These experiences ignited a passion
within me to pursue a career in nursing, with a strong desire to
provide the same level of care and support to those in need. In
response to the global Covid-19 pandemic, I took initiative and
collaborated with friends to create an impactful informational
campaign. Each team member contributed their skills, from
conducting research to creating engaging content, and our regular
virtual meetings ensured smooth coordination. Our collective
efforts were successful in dispelling myths and fostering better
community understanding of the virus, highlighting the
importance of healthcare education in times of crisis.

My love for biology is not merely academic; it represents a deep-

seated fascination with the essence of life itself. This passion,
coupled with my involvement in the Bharat Scouts
and Guides, where I acquired basic first aid and CPR skills, has
further fuel my ambition to pursue a career in nursing, where I can
directly impact and improve lives. I am particularly drawn to the
Adult Nursing BSc (Hons) programme at Plymouth University, UK,
as it offers a comprehensive curriculum designed to equip students
with the skills and knowledge needed to provide exceptional care
to adults. The program's emphasis on holistic care and diverse
clinical experiences align perfectly with my goal of
becoming a competent and compassionate adult nurse.

Plymouth University accolades further solidify my decision to

pursue my nursing education there. Plymouth has bagged fourth
place in a new ranking of university in UK and Unifresher’s Ultimate
Alternative University League Table 2023 puts University of
Plymouth in pole position for southwest England,as the only
university in the region to make the top ten. Moreover, the high
level of students speaks volumes about the university's
commitment to providing an exceptional learning environment.
My search for the right nursing program led me to explore options
in both India and the UK. While major Indian universities like All
India Institute Of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Jawaharlal Institute of
Postgraduate Medical Education and Research, Kerala University of
Health Science offer prestigious programs, I found that they
require students to qualify in numerous entrance exams and focus
heavily on theoretical knowledge. Seeking a more practical and
hands-on learning experience, I turned my attention to universities
in the UK,including Bristol University, the University of South Wales,
and Chester University. After careful consideration, I am confident
that Plymouth University is the best choice for me, given its
outstanding reputation, state-of-the-art facilities, and commitment
to student satisfaction.
The opportunities available at Plymouth University to put
theoretical knowledge into practice through a wide range of clinical
experiences will not only enhance my professional skills but also
provide me with a solid foundation to excel in the field of nursing.
In conclusion, the Adult Nursing BSc (Hons) programme at
Plymouth University represents the ideal pathway for me to fulfil
my aspirations of becoming a skilled and empathetic nurse. I am
eager to contribute to the field of nursing and make a positive
impact on the lives of others
