To master my knowledge and skills that I have gained from my completed Bachelor of Business Administration course, I aim to progress towards my career goals as I am an Accountant working in The Saudi Arabian Ministry of Finance. After extensive search and research of courses, universities and study destinations, I have decided to undertake the Master of Finance in the UK.

I have established a good foundation in business and management area from my Bachelor of Business Administration study under the Imam Muhammad Bin Saud University, Saudi Arabia. The study has covered different areas of business in details with middle tier knowledge and provided me a good base to develop higher levels. A master degree of Finance should be an ideal match and obvious choice which I have targeted. In this, I can bring my knowledge forward to complement the Master of Finance learning contents and then top up my knowledge with advanced ones and new areas.

I have attained my Bachelor of Business Administration followed by my primary, secondary and higher secondary studies in Saudi Arabia. In Saudi Arabia, tuition is mostly theory-based and assessments are exam-based in which I have been evaluated on the basis of how well I have memorized the topics and how much I have been able to put in exam papers. In comparison, UK Universities focus on applied knowledge and practice-based assessment hugely while the tuition is provided in the light of real-world scenarios via report writing, project consultancy, seminars, presentations and business simulations. Besides, UK Universities promote soft skills, analytical, critical appreciation, leadership, cognitive, communication skills to prepare graduates as professionals ready to start jobs on graduation. These features of the UK have led my choice for the UK as my master of Finance study destination country.
