Personal Statement
By Zhanrong Li

This two-year course has been fruitful which not only strengthened my economics understanding but also introduced a lot of financial knowledge, for instance some of the modules are principle of banking, international finance, accounting, financial derivatives.

Therefore, I need to acquire extensive knowledge in the fields of economics, finance, accounting, statistics, and applied mathematics. I believe that PhD in finance would not only enable me to acquire considerable knowledge in these fields but also combine my quantitative skills with managerial skills.
Prior to writing this, I would never have believed that concepts from economics would have fit into my decisions in course selections. But, now looking at the individual concepts and what they really entail, it makes perfect sense.

It all started when I was in standard four, my mother asked my ambition and I said that I want to become a cashier in supermarket. Well, I still young and do not any knowledge regarding accounting. At that time, I only know how to calculate simple calculation. For me, accounting is a basis part in our life because I am very sure that everyone use this accounting concepts in their daily life. For instances, they check how much money that they had spent on that day or even a business firms will record their daily transactions whether it gain or loses. The words ‘Accounting’ begin to develop in myself when I was in high school. This leads me to the world of accounting. In addition, I become more passionate in accounting and finance because my father is a sole proprietorship and he own a small chemical substances business so my passion grow more within business. This enable me to understand some of financial concepts which inspire me to pursue my degree study in university to become a chartered accountant.
I valued my time at the Faculty of Economics, including Money, Banking and Finance of University West of England at The International School of Management and Economics (ISME) at National Economics University (NEU) in Vietnam in which English is used as a language of instruction and assessment for all subjects. I might complete the English course at university and gain Certificate in

I have selected International Economics as my major. The International Economics major is founded on the belief that economic analyzes are significant to the understanding of present world affairs. With reducing expenses of transporting goods and services that guide international flow of technology, people, assets, goods, and information, are popular in the process of global conflicts. I plan to pursue this major at St. Francis College (SFC). There are various reasons that explain why I have selected this major. Firstly, this course will enable me prepare for careers in business that entail importing and exporting merchandise and services, monetary institutions handling international currencies. Secondly, my major will enable me to develop
Bill Gates has rightly said, “Its fine to celebrate success but it is more important to heed the lessons of failure.” I have been trying to understand the true meaning of entrepreneurship in due course of my Under Graduate Course in Business Administration. While studying the subject “Entrepreneurship Development”, I recognized my deep interest in entrepreneurship and innovation. I believe that every person has the ability to innovate; all they need is a motivating factor, direction and support which a Masters Programme at an esteemed university of your stature will provide me and help me to be a successful entrepreneur.
Regrettably the above slogan perfectly suits the present condition of healthcare in my country. An endeavor to bring about a change is the prime motive for me in aspiring to be a Public Health Professional.
I choose to study finance because studying finance has enabled me to see the world in a different light. I’m aware that financial instability and its effects on the economy can be very costly due to spill over effects to other parts of the economy. This is like what happen during global recession 2008 where it affects many countries through increase in the poverty rate, increase unemployment rate, poor stock market performance and etc. This subject has inspired me to increase my awareness of the current world issues through regularly reading magazine such as “The Economist” , “The Edge” and etc. Reading several books, namely by Warren Buffet, Robert J.Shiller and others has provided me with a better understanding of finance world as well. I choose to study the financial market programme at Kent business school because Kent is in 30 top list universities in united kingdom, beside the programme has been recognised by two world renowned professional bodies, the CFA Institute and PRMIA (Professional Risk Managers’ International Association).
