Dear Sir or Madam,

My name is Olga and I come from Lithuania. Currently I live in the UK. I graduated from the gymnasium last year. I have heard a lot about Scotland, its culture and traditions. My friends, who study there, tell me many interesting things about this region.

After reading some articles and reviews, I decided that Scotland is the best option for me. Since I love geography and traveling, I would like to be in touch with English culture, its architecture, lifestyle, interesting people, and find myself there.

I have always been interested in business, administration and IT. I have chosen Scotland as a place where I can study it. And therefore, this is the best place for me to find myself in this sphere, because I am very enthusiastic person, with love for people and determination to succeed. I imagine a career which is:
fast moving, gives me the opportunity for rapid promotion, is logical and practical, provides the chance to work wherever I want. I have always enjoyed learning about business. I find it fascinating. So it is quite easy for me to talk about my career ambitions (business) and what I want to do (be employed in the field of business and IT).

Concerning my traits, I suppose that I am very well prepared for business and administration. I believe, a business background is an excellent way to a good career. I have took a gap year after school and moved to United Kingdom for understanding myself – what I really want to do in my life, to improve my skills in English and gain some work and life experience ,to meet new people as well. When I was at school, I worked as a secretary in the office during my summer holidays in Czech Republic and I liked that job more than my current job (general assistant at the hotel). It is good that I can make a comparison between completely different jobs that is why I decided that hospitality is not what I want to study and to do. Now, after long consideration, I came to the most obvious and simple decision – business, administration and IT field is something that I want and what I need.

I would like to mention my achievements in mathematics and drawing while I was at school. I am really good at problem-solving and figuring things out, at logic and analysis. I am engaged in plotting and drawing at school and also at the art school. And once, my painting has been noted at an exhibition in Macedonia. I am a good PC user (Excel, MS-Office) as well.

I am confidant that my decision to study this particular course was affected by my father who worked both as a construction superintendent, and an engineer. He drew and designed a lot, worked on the computer, communicated with people, and was responsible for many projects. I have always watched and listened carefully to his job process, and have learned a lot from him. I think I got my drawing skills, my responsibility, my logical and analytical mind and the ability to come up with fast and right decisions, from my father.

I played lots of sports as a kid. This is how I have learned the values of teamwork, how to win, how to work hard, how to focus and concentrate, and how to find a balance between my time and priorities. And I suppose that the gained experience will be quite valuable for my future life and career.

To sum up, I believe to study abroad is an excellent way to broaden my horizons, to make new friends, to get not only theoretical but and practical knowledge. It is wonderful starting to communicate with international people and without recognition beginning to look at world a little bit differ. In my opinion, Scotland can offer a lot of opportunities for my future career. It’s the best place to study, live and work. Studying in Scotland would be a great experience for me. I am sure I will do my best there.

Thank you for considering my application

Yours faithfully,
