STATEMENT
OF PURPOSE
I
am XXXXXX, a permanent resident of XXXXXX Rural Municipality, Ward No. 07,
Jhapa, Province No. 1, XXXXXX and I am applying to study in Australia, with an
aim to continue my further education. And as a support to my idea; I have
presented this statement of purpose including my reasons for studying at XXXXXX
(XXXXXX), XXXXXX by which I am confident of being supported to be
able to surpass the criteria of eligibility.
Academic Background
I
have always been a very dedicated student in my studies as well as on
extracurricular activities. I completed my School Leaving Certificate in the
year 2019 A.D from XXXXXX English Boarding scoring GPA 3.10. I continued my
high school in the same school pursuing Management stream. I studied Compulsory
English, Principle of Accounting, Economics, Computer Science and Marketing. I
completed the course on 2021 securing GPA 3.24.
As
soon as I completed my +2 and received my results, I was a bit induced towards foreign
studies. I even conducted a number of researches through numerous websites and
I found that; to be able to apply for the countries, I have to fulfill the
criteria of English eligibility and Academic eligibility. Accordingly, I
started my IELTS preparation classes lasting several month and appeared the
examination on 21st April, 2022 A.D and scored overall 6.5 with scores
in Listening: - 7.0, Reading : 6.5, Writing:- 5.5, Speaking :- 6.0 .
Reasons to choose Accounting
I belong to the family of five members where two of the family members, my dad and my brother are Accountants holding a good position in the society and in their work as well. They both have extra-ordinary talent in accounting and their adherence to their interest coupled with their talent made me inspired and interested in accounting as well; following the legacy that my elders have earned.
Accounting, the most versatile subject
for any student worldwide, is arguably the most vital aspect of any business or
company. Accounting revolves around the reporting and analysis of how money
flows in and out of a business, ensuring that regulations are complied with and
challenges are avoided. As accounting helps to track income and expenditures,
ensure statutory compliance, and provide investors, management, and government
with quantitative financial information it is generally used in making business
decisions. The main role of accounting is to track a company’s finances in
their numerous forms, from credits, debits, and profitability to payroll and
tax filing. However, the skills taught in accounting prepare its student for
any role, including positions outside of finance or accounting. It is a
field driven by analytics and analytical interpretations, and the information
derived from such functions provides a business with a record of its financial
health and stability. Financial reports generated from this information can
drive a company’s strategies in both the short and long term. In this sense, by
studying accounting I will always be one step ahead in terms of business which
will make me outstand the crowd.
After
successfully completing this Bachelor in accounting program, I can expect the
following skills and knowledge:
Circumstances in my country:
Accounting and management sector
has certainly flourished in the context of modern XXXXXX. More and more number
of people are realizing the importance of accounting both in theoretical as
well as practical ways. Every nook and corner of the country imparts the
education as of now. The heart of the country, Kathmandu enlists a range of
institutions providing the education in the Accounting and Business field. On
the course of research, I found comparatively larger number of institutions
providing me the undergraduate course in the same field here in my country
through the colleges like: NCA College of Management CCA Certified College of Accountancy ACCA College in XXXXXX , Presidential Business School , College of Business Management , King’s College XXXXXX ,
KPA Business School, Modern XXXXXX College, XXXXXX Business College etc.
offered BBS (Bachelor of Business Studies) and (BBA) Bachelor of Business
Administration). Also there are CTEVT programs that provide interested readers
to access the subject. There is also diploma and advanced diploma program in accounting
provided by the CIBT (Crown Institute of Business and Technology) in XXXXXX.
But despite of the fact that the availability in the course is frequenting in XXXXXX, our educational system, in my opinion is yet to match the global standards. The main reason why I confidently point the fact is because of the traditional approaches the teachers and institutes use till date. The learning is more theoretical rather than enlightening the practical aspect. Hence, vast use of theoretical learning and lack of practicality made to choose abroad study. Thus, I fear continuing in the same academic environment for long time would lead me to nowhere. I would not be able to gain proper information and encounter similar situations if I continue studying in my home country.
Therefore, considering my future that’s
in line, I concluded to travel overseas to be titled with the best educational
degree fully laden with professional working experience. I believe it will
exaggerate my language, communication skills, experience of meeting new corner
from assorted countries and gain new drift of the world. Studying accounting
abroad will help me to get manifest in global work convention and it will boost
my implacability as I would develop myself.
Why Study in Australia
than other countries?
Decision
of studying overseas and not within home country is already a daunting task
which was made even more tiresome by having to choose in between the countries
which offers education to international students. On this course, I urged to
shortlist some of the popular study destinations offering quality of education,
under which fell the topmost countries like: UK, USA, Canada, Germany, Japan
and Australia. Additionally, I struggled for searching in between the
institutions like: Regent’s University London (UK), University of Greenwich
(UK), Middlesex University (UK), Manhattanville College (USA), Upper Iowa
University (USA), Arden University Berlin Study Centre (Germany), University of
Winnipeg (Canada), Royal Roads University (Canada) and University of Canada
West (Canada). The abundance in colleges and universities made it more
difficult to choose so I managed to choose my study destination being based
upon the factors like safety, affordability, future prospects, lifestyle and
exposure, weather, language accessibility, practicality and modern
technologies. While studying all these factors, I chose to study in Australia
due to many reasons.
Though
USA is the dream destination among the XXXXXXi students especially for study,
due to the recent changes in the student visa processing, there has been a
considerable reduction in the number of student visas which has created
problems even for some serious students having strong financial background and
no intention of staying back in the USA. So, I do not want to be one of those
victims and lose my valuable time. From the student’s security point of view
also, USA is considered less secured as multiple shootings in the college and
universities occur frequently.
On
the other hand, United Kingdom (UK), the second most popular destination for
international students only after the USA, has a history of unstable
immigration laws. The recent exit of UK from the European Union has created
political instability within the region and put questions regarding the future
of the students. This gives international students a lack of
security and an unsafe situation to study in. Additionally, the tuition fees in
the UK are extremely high (ranging from 13,000 Pounds to 17,500 and 18,000
Pounds a year which is nearly equal to AUD 32,900- AUD 33,900) and living cost
is also very high. Also the weather is very unpredictable in UK which can
invite sickness to me.
Canada
has still been a fruit which we can only dream of but never achieve, as getting
study permit of Canada for international students from XXXXXX is really rare regardless
of the strong and genuine documentation. Also, the cold climate makes it
difficult to study and survive there.
The
nations which have English as a second language will be difficult to adjust on
in spite of the affordability and lower tuition costs (8000 to 12000 Euros per
year approximately AUD 15,000 to AUD 19,000). The countries like Germany,
Japan, France and other European countries requires additional language skills
to be eligible to study, which lengthens my processing time and creates a language
barrier to me while I will be commuting in the local market.
On
the other hand, as both a country and a continent, Australia offers a safer
environment to its students along with a quality of education and affordable
standard of living. Moreover, Australian colleges/universities offer
world class education with varied courses to many international students and
easy visa processing with affordable tuition fees and living expenses around
40%-60% lesser than that of other study abroad destination. Similarly, the
students can take advantage from its new in XXXXXXtion and research sources.
Education wise, Australian institutions offer a wide variety of world-ranked
and internationally recognized qualifications, a feat XXXXXX has yet to
achieve. There are a few of the many reasons; I along with other international
students seek to study at a good Australian institution. A solid foundation in
my field of study would aid me in my future career opportunities. Moreover,
this is a great way for students to get exposure in the world and utilize the
time wisely. Furthermore, Australia has a multi-cultural society where everyone
can study and live in a safe environment. The Australian government has also
set in place measures for international students to feel their well-being and
social security are being safeguarded under the Education Services for Overseas
Students (ESOS) framework, which are laws which protect the rights of
international students studying in Australia, including the Education Services
for Overseas Students (ESOS) Act 2000 and the National Code 2007.Under the
framework, the rights of an international student include:
·
Student’s right to receive, before
enrolling, current and accurate information about the course, fees, modes of
study, and other information from the institution and the institution’s agents.
·
Student’s right to sign a written
agreement with the institution before paying fees, setting out the services to
be provided, fees payable, and information about the refunds of course’s money.
·
The Tuition Protection Service (TPS) is
a placement and refund service for international students, which is activated
in the event that the institution is unable to teach the student’s course.
And
I know when I am studying in Australia; I am safe and also protected by the
Australian law in favorable climatic conditions that almost make me feel like
my home. Also, I will not be preparing myself for a language barrier and am
confident of making friends easily. Knowing all these measures reassured me as
a prospective international student.
Reasons
for Choosing XXXXXX (XXXXXX)
Australia being home to top universities among the world, it was quite a dilemmatic condition for me as I had to choose just one out of a large sea. Though it was a diploma program which I was focusing on, first I looked out for the universities in Sydney; whose name I frequently have heard through my friends and relatives, that included: - Federation University, Monash University, RMIT University, Swinburne University, Victoria University, Charles Sturt University, Southern Cross University, Deakin University and so on. At Deakin University, Charles Sturt University, Southern Cross University, there were only Bachelor’s course for undergraduate studies and graduate diplomas were provided as postgraduate degree , . On the other hand, Victoria University provides Bachelor of Business (Enterprise) lasting a year that costs AUD 11,250 per semester; however, it has only one unit relating to accounting (Accounting for Decision Making) which was completely out of my interest field . Also, UOW provides the course, Diploma of Business and Bachelor of Business 2 sessions and 3 sessions for 7 months and 12 months respectively however the tuition were relatively higher than expected resulting AUD 27,810 course fee for just a year, whereas the cost in institutes would barely exceed the amount even if we study for 2 and half year.. And the acceleration and 2nd year entry programs introduced by WSU and UTS Insearch were nowhere closer to being economical also the entry requirements were comparatively higher. But I found a moderate institute which provides me quality of education like a university and practical knowledge like a college at a very affordable tuition fee of AUD 14893.33 per year which is lesser than most of the university’s cost for a Business Course at a location which I adore.
Future career plan
I
strongly believe that better opportunities will be on my way after completion
of my study. Earning this degree would enable me to strengthen my skills to
better serve and will certainly be something providing me with broad
opportunities in Business and Government sector. My coursework coupled with my
interest will allow me to function well. I have many ambitions for myself as I
embark on this stage of my life. I believe that this particular study will
provide milestone in my career along with invaluable experiences and skills
that will allow me to become a successful, in XXXXXX tive professional and give
assistance to accomplish my goal.
My ultimate goal in my career is to make a
commendable contribution to the business world either by starting an inXXXXXXtive
venture or by doing research which would change the dimensions of future
computing and the way we perceive the managerial field. Moreover, a career with
open prospects would give constant incentives to improve myself and to gain
more knowledge. After completion of my Bachelor Degree, I can work as a
Professional Accountant, Auditor, Banker, Business analyst, Business consultant,
Business management, Commercialization manager, Finance manager, Investment

the firms. Graduated with this degree, I
can find job in both small and large, public or private sectors such as

secretary, chartered accountant, chartered certified accountant, chartered
public finance accountant, chartered management accountant. In addition to
this, there are other career options such as Tax advisor, purchasing
manager, management consultant, economist, licensed conveyance etc.
I
would like to work as a Professional Accountant where my main job role of a
professional accountant is to perform critical financial estimates for various
businesses and organizations across various domains.
So,
once I complete this degree, there are many opportunities in XXXXXX. I will
able to work as a certified accountant, investment adviser, or tax accountant
for government or private banking institutions, different hotel chains,
Airlines companies like : Himalayan
Airlines, XXXXXX Airlines, Buddha Air , and other most prestigious
companies in XXXXXX; from the degrees that I have earned from Australia.
Similarly, I can pursue a career as a financial or loan officer or accountant
in the banking and financial sector, including the XXXXXXese "A"
commercial bank like NABIL Bank, SBI
Bank, Siddhartha Bank, Everest Bank, Rastra Banijya Bank and so on. It helps me grow professionally in the
fields of accounting and finance. I expected a minimum wage equivalent to NPR. 60,000
to 80,000 depending on the type of organization, which is sufficient for my
living expenses and future savings. On the other hand, I might as well do
the internship in one of the top companies of the countries including CG Group , Sharda Industries , Dabur XXXXXX, Golcha Group, Unilever,
Khetan Group and Bottlers XXXXXX. After gaining a number of experiences
through these internships I will be able to successfully handle the pros and
cons of the businesses and their accounts.
After
gaining the best experience in different organizations and expanding business
relationships, my long-term intention is to provide consulting services at an
affordable price to assist all classes of business people. There are various
advertising agencies and outsourcing companies for employment after returning
to home country i.e. ,

vacancies with the help of national newspapers such as The Kathmandu Post, The
Himalayan Times and The Republica.
Thus,
I see a variety of job opportunities and bright career prospects with a better
future when I am to return to my hometown from Australia. Therefore, I would
like to actively participate in shaping the future of young students by giving
them the correct information, knowledge, and a practical approach to how to use
theoretical knowledge for the overall development of the country.

Undoubtedly, expatriate life can be very exciting. The experience and
challenges of life abroad develop one as a person, teach new skills and enhance
capabilities, create new meanings in life and generally translate into valuable
memories, which are worth remembering for many years ahead. I feel my journey
to Australia is to broaden my knowledge and skills and gain every important
detail felt necessary to lead a successful life along with inspiring young
aspirants in future days to come. I believe there is a wonderful life laid to
me after returning back to home country. Among different factors that motivate
me to be back in my home country the major being my love and zeal to work for
the betterment of my homeland and society at large. I have always relished the
hope of being with my family members and work for the fulfillment of their
needs and betterment.
