Most users see a computer at the front and use the graphical user interfaces. The first
time I used a computer, it intrigued me to know how these interfaces work, the theory behind
computers and the methodology of how they work. I am a keen to further my Computer
Science knowledge. Studying Computing, ICT and Maths at A-Level has increased my desire
to want to know more about this subject.
Furthermore I believe that my two week work experience placement, based in IT
support at ARM Holdings, gave me a great insight into how an international Computing
business works and confirmed that I wanted to go into computing. I am familiar with Python,
which I have learnt to use for programming and have learnt about the theory behind Stored
Program Concept, Fetch-Execute Cycle and also the Internet along with the legal aspects
behind Computing.
I have advanced my programing skills using PyQt to develop my own user interfaces
and further programming techniques including Object and Event orientated programming.
With this knowledge I feel that my problem solving has developed culminating in my project,
which I am currently in the process of completing. I am enjoying the experience of the project,
not only with the programming but the process of the project - from the analysis to the testing.
I feel to study Computer Science you would need to be more scientific in your thinking as
arguments need supporting evidence before they are proved.
To be a successful student you need to be organised, able to communicate and capable
of independent research as an individual to expand your knowledge. In using my Computing
A-Level skills, I have gained a significant level of knowledge of how computers work; the
theory behind them and also why we need Computer Scientists in the world of work. It is
important to be able to analyse problems and work out solutions, as well as to program the
solutions and ensure that if there is a gap in the market you develop these ideas.
Computer scientists' work ensures that current computing programs and processes are
maintained and updated if appropriate. I am always searching for programs or websites to
help me with my studies and programs, such as using GitHub as a version control system for

my project. I am currently Chair of the Student Committee at Long Road Sixth Form College;

I was elected by the committee to sit on the Board of Governors for the College to represent
student views, values and opinions.
I also oversee and plan the entertainments and charitable events, which has given me
the opportunity to develop my teamwork and people skills. I am committed to the charity
BeatBullying; which involves taking on the responsibility of Young and Media Ambassador. I
also am a mentor for both BeatBullying and its sister charity MindFull helping young people
suffering from bullying and mental health issues. This has helped me understand complex
personal issues and to further enhance my communication skills.
Since July 2013, I have worked part-time at both Cambridge University Hospitals as a
Customer Service Administrator, which has strengthened me as an individual and I had the
responsibility of helping others to ensure patient safety and confidentiality. At Linton Village
College I was awarded the Enterprise Honour for being the Manager of the Technical Team
and a Student Leader of the Library, which involved organising the day to day running of the
Library. At the same time I was nominated for the Business Studies Linton Honour.
The projects will enable me to draw on all my previous knowledge and experience to
enhance at university and further it independently to create a substantial finished product for
an external client. I am looking forward to the excitement and challenge that studying science
will bring at a higher level.
My future aspirations are to leave the university to enter into the world of work to
pursue a career in Computer Science and ultimately, to start my own business in Computer
Science.

University of Exeter chuyên ngành Geography.
Geography is the study of the world, and as geographers we hold the keys to the
world’s problems. Geography encompasses many things from natural disasters, eco-systems,
to globalisation and development, all of which are areas which fascinate me. It is essential for
deciphering and solving the issues that the world is faced with, and by furthering my
geographical knowledge, it will enhance my ability to tackle the imminent problems such as
overpopulation.
My studies have inspired me to further my knowledge. I am a member of the Royal
Geographical Society and a regular attendee of their lectures. Sir Crispin Tickell's talk on the
human future and his Malthusian view fascinated me, as it couples my passion for food with
Geography. Due to this I have focused my Extended Project Qualification on agricultural
sustainability. My research has led me to look into agricultural processes, destruction of
ecosystems, and questions related to pesticide usage. Reading Rachel Carson's 'Silent Spring'
highlighted the impacts of pesticides, because diseases such as cancer and Down syndrome
are linked with their overuse. As part of my wider research I enjoyed reading periodicals such
as The Geographical Review, The Economist, The Guardian and the Geographical. An article
from the Geographical investigating how sustainable agriculture is implemented in low
income countries intrigued me. A method used was vermicomposting, a procedure which
allows farmers to create compost from waste. This is cost efficient and sustainable,
demonstrating alternatives to current farming techniques.
I have been involved in a range of aspects in my fieldwork, from constructing the trip
to the establishment of the initial hypotheses. These trips have enabled me to reinforce my
geographical skills, particularly in relation to interpreting and analysing information and data.
I was able to see the cross-curricular links my world cities unit had, consolidating my
Economics and History knowledge, allowing me to understand how cities develop historically
and their wider significance to the world economy.

In addition to my studies, I have taken advantage of numerous opportunities to refine
my skills. At my internships at KPMG, Fidelity Worldwide Investments, and Ernst and
Young, I assisted in the completion of reports and proposals under strict deadlines, whilst also
presenting at partner meetings. Also, I have raised over £3,500 for various charities and

completed my Bronze Duke of Edinburgh Award. This has allowed me to apply both my
navigation and map reading skills learnt in class to navigate the planned route for the
expedition.
Furthermore, I was selected to represent the UK in the International Space Design
Competition at the Johnston Space Centre in Texas. Competing with Argentine, American
and British students, I was elected president of the international team. During the competition
I was able to apply all the skills I had learnt in my extra-curricular activities. We produced an
in-depth proposal, detailing everything about our space settlement, from the logistics of
building and transporting resources into space, to the costing of the whole structure; all in an
attempt to win the contract in just forty-eight hours.
Geography is constantly evolving and relevant. This drives my passion for the subject;
I believe that the skills I have attained through my outgoing nature alongside my passion for
the subject make me a valued addition to your institution. I am sociable, ambitious and
academically able, but most importantly dedicated.

Mathematics is not just a mere subject but a universal language. Its plethora of Greek
symbols interlaced with numbers makes it seem like a clandestine code, which has to be
deciphered. This aside, I believe the real magic of Mathematics lies not with its method of
execution, but its definite solutions founded on irrefutable proofs, not ignoring the seemingly
endless array of applications.
Having studied Physics my awareness of these applications has increased substantially.
For instance, the laws laid down by Newtonian Mechanics are seen to govern the everyday
world and are difficult not to witness. In Computing, I have explored the logical arm of
Mathematics put into practice: Finite State machines, Boolean equations and

the

programming languages themselves. Even Chemistry like my other subjects echoes the
hallmarks of Maths. Through reading Du Sautoy’s “Finding Moonshine” I discovered that
Chemistry, the study of molecular interaction, utilises Mathematics in the form of symmetry.
Overall, it never ceases to amaze me how Mathematics seems to be everywhere at once, even
in places you expect not to find it.
After participating in a stock exchange competition, I was fascinated to learn
mathematical models are used in forecasting something as volatile and stochastic as the stock
market. In fact, to find out more, I attended the PriceWaterhouseCooper Business Insight Day.
There, I was informed about the consultancy role Actuaries play in corporate firms using their
ability of Mathematics as a tool to assess financial risks, and as a result, I started to consider
seriously a career as an Actuary.
The same employability skills that were constantly stressed by my school, I saw
firsthand at my work shadowing placement in a company managed by Viridian Group Plc,
where I observed the most important of these to be communication, especially the ability of a
professional, such as an engineer, to convey difficult technical knowledge to non-specialist
customers.
Activities in school have helped me to work towards these professional skills and

further enjoy Mathematics. For example, being the Financial Director of a Young Enterprise
company gave me a valuable insight into running a business and made me more confident in

expressing my ideas with clarity. After being selected by interview, I also had a large input as
a team member in the Engineering Education Scheme, where we were assigned a project in
which we had to analyse and solve a real-life problem encountered by a firm. Our agreed
project involved the design of a Six-Way Underground Distribution Board (UDB) lifting
device, and by carefully considering factors such as which handle length would give the
required torque, which structure provided the most equal distribution of forces, we foresaw
the eventual fabrication of a prototype.
This was followed by our delivery of one formal and many informal presentations,
which after each member received a Gold CREST (Creativity in Science and Technology)
Award. Conveniently, the scheme also tied in with my Duke of Edinburgh’s Gold Award
which I am currently pursuing and hope to complete when I leave Methodist College. The
Award’s physical and mental hurdles have been demanding and require unyielding
determination to strive for goals, a practice which I still hope to employ as a future Actuary.
Having been a rower for three years and now currently pursuing a martial art, the
importance of dedication is not a new concept for me. Even though Maths can be extremely
difficult and at times even impossible, I wish to give it my utmost dedication; it is an ever
expanding subject in which my enjoyment will never cease to diminish.

Nowadays, science and technology play a vital role in people's lives. They have
become a dominant factor in the development of society. Therefore, many countries are
striving to diversify their economies through the development and application of new and
advanced technologies like the ones that operate on nanoscale.
Nanotechnology and applied nanoscience allow people to create innovative
nanostructured materials, devices and mechanisms which will make a contribution to the
improvement of people's lives and development of the country's economics. Thus, the choice
of nanoscience and nanotechnology as my speciality was inspired by both my interest in the
natural phenomena as a physicist, and by the excellent prospects it offers in the labour market.
My interest in science, particularly in physics and maths, developed when I was
studying at school. I enjoyed the challenge of solving different types of mathematical and
physical problems which helped me develop analytical thinking skills and an understanding of
physical processes that take place in nature. Beyond my school interests I played music, and
got involved with dancing and drawing. I played the dombyra (a Kazakh national stringed
instrument) in the school orchestra and sang in the school choir. Through these activities I
became acquainted with and learned the rules and principles of art.
In 2003 I entered the physics department at Al Farabi Kazakh National University
(majoring in radiophysics and electronics). There I received a good fundamental education in
physics, electronics, material science, chemistry, higher mathematics, and the humanities. I
gained a deep understanding of these subjects and learnt how to apply this to real life
situations. I took part in students' scientific conferences, at which on three separate occasions
I got awards for the best research effort. This activity helped me to improve my skills in
report writing and oral presentation.
Since 2005 I have been working at the Institute of Experimental and Theoretical
Physics of Kazakh National University as a scientific researcher. I have experimentally
investigated the structural, dynamical and optical properties of the dusty particles immersed in
plasma environment. What makes this work important is its connection with nuclear fusion,
microelectronics and nonterrestrial investigations. As the result of my work at the Institute I

have made several contributions to international conferences and papers in recognized
journals like Journal of Physics D: Applied Physics, Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and
Theoretical and Physics of Plasmas. Working at the Institute has enriched my experience in
experimental physics and taught me to work in a team.
Although I completed undergraduate level study at the best local university, I do not
feel that I am in the best position to make any final decisions about my career yet. Thus, I
have decided to proceed with study abroad to get a better understanding and knowledge of
applied nanoscience.
By studying at your university I hope to gain a broad education and professional skills
on my chosen course and to learn how to apply these in practice to improve the world around
me. I feel confident that I will be able to cope with the academic requirements at the
university and successfully conduct research work in the area of nanoscience and
nanotechnology.

Bài luận cá nhân của Blackie Chan, nhận được thư mời học Đại học The Manchester
Metropolitan University chuyên ngành Accounting and Finance.
For me Accounting is something that I've been incredibly passionate about for the last
few years. From quite a young age I have always had a passion towards Mathematics and
problem solving; which has led me on towards Accounting and Finance as these subjects
interlink massively.

I have had the pleasure of working in an Accounting Firm (work experience) in which
I was giving the chance to learn and development some of the key skills needed to succeed, I
was able to help look after some of the minor accounts and to use the spreadsheets when
needed.
I have just finished my last exam in an Access course at my local college, where I
studied Business Accounts, Psychology, Statistics and Law. Each of these subjects in my
opinion has given me the tools to succeed at university in Accounting and Finance. Law has
given me the knowledge of the legal system to determine what is expected of me when I get
my degree from university, and the implications of my actions within the organisation when
looking and handling people’s accounts.
Studying Statistics has developed my mind logically, the problem solving within the
subject keeps your mind constantly active, even when equations have a higher degree of
difficulty it pushes your boundaries and shows me that anything is capable. Business
Accounts has taught me more than I could ever have imagined, it has given me knowledge of
the different aspects of accounts whether that’s Ratio Analysis or looking after T Accounts.
Studying Business Accounts at my local college has given me a significant advantage over
others as I now have a lot more knowledge within in the chosen subject which will give me a
boost when I start higher education.
Sport is a major impact on my life at the moment as it fills me with an enjoyment not
very many things can match. Playing basketball, football, and chess have made me a more
discipline human. It has provided me with a unique balance with both my studies and my
personal life, none more so than chess. The concentration levels needed for chess and the
ongoing repetition in the mind, re-playing the scenario over and over again has worked
magnificently through my studies. Not only does it help to develop the mind further but it

makes you look at things from all perspectives, all the problems needed to succeed and all the

problems needed to avoid failure.
I plan to keep pursing my interests in sport throughout university, but most
importantly I will maintain a healthy balance between my leisure activities and my studies.
Ever since I have studied Mathematics I've always wanted to pursue a career at
university to follow a dream I found available to me during my time at college. The ability to
know I now have a chance to succeed in my endeavour not only motivates me but it greatly
excites me.
University is another important milestone in my life one that I believe that I can pass
with flying colours and to develop new skills added on to the ones I already have.

Chemistry is in my opinion the most important of the sciences today. As a science of
matter and its properties, Chemistry can be applied to almost any situation from forensics
through medicine to environmental sustainability. It is this practical side of Chemistry that has
made me want to study it at university. I am particularly interested in Organic Chemistry and I
enjoy working out the outcomes of various reactions and naming the products with systematic
nomenclature. Another aspect of Chemistry that I am interested in is Quantum Chemistry
which has a strong overlap with some of my favourite modules of Physics. I am drawn to its
often theoretical and experimental nature.
My studies in Geography and World Development have stimulated an interest in
Green Chemistry. I feel that this is very important due to climate change and other
environmental issues that affect us. Research in making processes more sustainable and less
harmful to the environment is crucial to contributing to the future of planet.
I have gained the position of subject ambassador for Chemistry; which involves

representing the Chemistry department during open evenings and helping out fellow
classmates with their work. Within the open days I have demonstrated experiments to future
students and their parents, helping them to understand the content of the course and whether
they should take Chemistry as an A level subject. I have also been nominated by my school
for the Oxford University chemist of the year award, due to my attitude and achievements.
During my ISAs I demonstrated a strong practical ability and achieved full marks for my
practical skills. This reflects my ability to work independently and my competence at
handling lab apparatus. I also volunteer to help out in a chemistry lesson once a week; this is
an excellent opportunity to help others and put my knowledge and expertise to practical use.
I am reading "The Problems of Chemistry" by W. Graham Richards and "The
Consumers Good Chemical Guide" by John Emsley both of which have stimulated my
interest in practical applications of Chemistry. Another book "Chemistry: Facts, Patterns and
Principles" by W.R. Kneen adds to my general knowledge of Chemistry. I have also joined
the Royal Society of Chemistry.

I have excelled at all of my chosen subjects and have demonstrated a commitment and
ability to work above the average level in each one. For example during my GCSEs I was
picked as one of the top ten geographers in my year to take an AS in World Development a
year early. While taking my A2 in World Development last year I researched and wrote a
report on a local wind farm. This project was a good opportunity to work on my own initiative
and helped me develop important communication and analysis skills. I also represented Kenya
in a Model UN General Assembly conference where I learned about other cultures and gained
an insight into world politics.
My studies in Maths and Physics both provide me with subject matter, problem
solving and calculating skills that support my primary interest in Chemistry.

Outside school I have an enthusiasm for the sport of dog agility. My dogs and I have
won many competitions and we have competed at Crufts and other major events. I also train
and work with dogs for other people. This is a considerable responsibility, but one that I enjoy.
I also have experience caring for a disabled child which has made me more mature.
In common with my friends, I enjoy music and travel. I have played the drums in
several bands and have backpacked through a number of countries, including Brazil, Peru and
Thailand. I hope to take advantage of the social opportunities at university as well as the
academic ones.
In summary, my skills and experiences make me well suited to study Chemistry at
university. I intend to tackle the course with the same determination and interest that I have
shown to date and to make a significant contribution during my studies.

My perception of the sciences has changed over time as my understanding of them has
developed. Subjects that once appeared isolated and independent now merge into one
coherent field, each interacting with another. How the same laws can apply from the quark
scale to galaxies astounds me and it is the on-going search for patterns to explain these links
that I find particularly fascinating. This notion has driven my pursuit of studying scientific
and mathematical subjects at A Level. Indeed the ability to discover the reasoning behind
these concepts through the process of doubt and investigation is what truly motivates me to
study Natural Science at university.
Throughout my studies I have enjoyed reading; the manner in which this informs and
broadens my understanding has been a key factor in my academic success. Charles Seife's
book 'Zero: The Biography of a Dangerous Idea' discusses in detail concepts like the creation,

banishment and abuse of zero and its counterpart infinity. I was strongly drawn to how the
theories and conclusions made, could again be applied to other branches of science. As a
result of reading this text; I felt compelled to give a presentation based on its ideas to my
fellow Scholars during a recent Symposium. This helped develop my skills of mathematical
analysis, especially in the fields of Complex Numbers and Projectiles. My decision to study
Natural Sciences is driven as much by an appreciation of scientific method, as by content. I
have recently read 'Elegant Solutions' by Philip Ball, and 'The Curious History of Relativity'
by Jean Eisenstaedt, both awarded to me for excellence in Chemistry and Physics. These
books have furthered my knowledge of the fundamental experiments that have allowed
science to develop over time. However of even greater curiosity to me were the new theories
identified that have shaped experimentation in the last century, such as the destruction of the
long-held belief that the noble gases cannot form compounds with other elements. As with all
scientific disciplines, the process of challenging hypotheses enables the field to learn and
improve, and it is this problem based approach to learning that excites me further to pursue
my chosen degree course.
My fascination with the sciences is not restricted to my own understanding; I enjoy
sharing my knowledge and seeing other people reach the same epiphanies I have. To this end,
I initiated a lunchtime help club for Mathematics and Science, for students aged 11 through to
18. I enjoy the challenge of conveying complex ideas to younger students, and find this

process helps forge my own knowledge and opinions. To further my applied knowledge of the
sciences I have secured a week long work placement with Nu Instruments, a company
specialising in scientific equipment. Here I will gain first-hand experience of the technology
required to further experimentation and am especially motivated by the prospect of working
with a mass spectrometer.
I have been entrusted with a number of positions of responsibility during Upper Sixth,

demonstrating the work ethic and reliability I strive for. I hold the positions of Prefect and
Head of House, giving me responsibility to organise competitions and weekly assemblies for
a range of age groups. I have also been appointed Captain of the Senior Mathematics Team
Challenge, and furthermore I have been chosen as Captain of Clay Shooting for the last two
years. I have now been part of this team for 3 years, during which we have won the National
Championships twice and individually I am within the top 20 in Great Britain.
I truly aspire to be a student of Natural Science. Whilst I have a strong interest in each
individual subject, it is the connections between these disciplines that fascinate me most
greatly. I strongly believe that it is the people who can connect theories with practical
solutions that establish themselves as the great scientists, and it is these people I seek to
emulate.

Computing/Computer Science.
My interest in computers and technology started when I was given a computer as a
present, at the age of ten. Because there was nobody to teach me how to use it, I had to teach
myself, experimenting with different options.
The fact that I wanted to learn more about computers was strengthened when I started
AS level computing. What I like about computing is that it covers a broad range of topicsfrom computer structure to The Data Protection Act. It covers the applications in society as
well as core components that make up a typical computer. I particularly enjoyed learning
about internal components such as the CPU, and different types of hardware.
Taking physics helped me to increase understanding of the electronic aspects of
technology, and reinforced my knowledge of methods of communication, and the properties
of different waves used. I enjoyed learning about the fundamental aspects of how data is

transmitted - within the computer itself, and over a wider area such as networks. Both physics
and computing are my strongest subjects, and both involve using logic to solve problems,
which I like doing.
At the end of year 12, I was required to undertake a task during 'enrichment week'. I
chose to spend this week working at a computer business, ********. During this week, I had
to assemble computers for a business client, so gained knowledge on different components. I
also had to create and present a slideshow about Office 2007, to teach staff at a community
centre. For short periods I had to deal with customers, and perform common tasks, such as
operating system upgrades. The owner of ******** was a computer science graduate, and
this meant I could question him on course content which is shared with computing. The time I
spent at ******** cemented my desire to study computing at a higher level.
In school, I have helped raise money for charity by taking part in a sponsored walk.
During lunchtimes, I have helped supervise computer use in the library. Throughout high
school, I have taken part in the annual 'interform' football tournament which takes place every
year.

Outside of school, I play a lot of football during weekends, and have a brown belt in
karate. I am also a very passionate boxing fan, and regularly watch and debate about it.
I have noticed how computers are used all around me, from medical applications to
weather forecasting. E-business, a vital component of today's trade sector, is entirely
dependent on networks. Computers are used extensively in such a diverse range of places and
environments, and I would love to play a part in advancing the already thriving computer
industry. It fascinates me, how quickly technology moves forward. A few decades ago, simple
mailing using computers was out of the question. Nowadays, online shopping, virtual tours,
etc. are common practice on the Internet. It is what lies ahead that I would like to be part of.

In the future, I hope my interest in computers will enable me to become a systems
analyst. Embarking on such a degree would be very beneficial to me in terms of increasing
my knowledge and understanding. I am very enthusiastic and confident when it comes to
computer systems, and I feel that this will play a major part in helping me to fulfil my
ambition.

History of Art is the door to artistic, cultural, historical and personal enrichment. With
motivation and effort it can also lead to truly interesting career opportunities, most notably as
far as I am concerned, fine art auctioneer. It is one of the most appealing and diverse subjects
you can work with as it expresses itself through various supports. It allows you to gain access
to cultures throughout the world, their beliefs and history through a single still image, a
sculpture or even a white canvas.
Art is an uncompromised, satirical and beautiful gateway to the world and the history
of mankind. Art is not only beautiful, choking, impressive or esthetical, Art is a testimony of
historical patrimony, and this is one of the main reasons I want to study History of Art.
My interest in the subject started in my school years during which I obtained
outstanding grades in History, Art and Literature. My passion for the subject flowed out into
my social life as I attended weekly cultural seminars organized by "Les Amis des Arts et de la
Culture" in Monaco. For personal reasons I decided not go to university after completing my
Baccalaureat but this did not affect my interest in Art. In my spare time I developed a great
enthusiasm for photography. My grand-father taught me how to develop pictures when I was
13 and I was at once attracted to the mixture of art and information as captured by the
legendary Cartier Bresson. Furthermore, being able to step away from the world and become

more than a spectator was a welcome relief from a hard day's work.
During my professional experience I was fortunate enough to be involved in the "Dali
a Monte-Carlo" exhibition organized in Monaco during the summer of 2005, by contributing
to the research and drafting of the Press Book. This was a challenging and demanding task,
which involved to compiling and summarizing the content of the exhibition/show. I
thoroughly enjoyed carrying out an in-depth study of the artist as revealed by the photographs
exposed to the public, which were taken during the autumn he spent in Monaco. Recently I
have been fortunate enough to work as assistant to Walera Martynchik two nights a week,
which I believe, will greatly expand my artistic horizons.

Outside of Art I very much enjoy music including blues, folk, rock and jazz. During
my professional career I have had the good fortune to be involved in various radio and music
magazine based projects, culminating in an interview with Frank Black over a cup of tea after
the Pixies concert in Six-Fours-les-Bains. I try to attend concerts as often as possible as I
enjoy combination of the enthusiasm and spectacle with the music that create 'the show'. I am
also very much a travel enthusiast and recently traveled around South America. On my travels
I learnt Spanish, giving me a firsthand insight into the various foreign cultures.
All this considered, I would like to make Art a greater part of my life and turn my
passion for the subject into a career. I aim to work in an auction house, as a Fine Art specialist.
As a mature student, I can truly benefit from the cultural background I acquired through my
personal and professional activities and become a successful student.
I realize I still have so much to learn and discover and I believe that an undergraduate
course in History of Art presents me with the perfect opportunity to achieve my goals.

The idea of proof has always held a real fascination for me. The process of starting
from a simple set of axioms and deriving almost any mathematical truth (putting Godel to one
side) is what truly separates Mathematics from any other subject. It is the closest we can ever
get to absolute truth, and therein lies its sheer beauty and the reason it is the only subject for
me. Of course, it's also a good deal of fun.
I have tried to extend my Maths as much as possible beyond the classroom, and
whenever I do so I uncover either some completely new and intriguing area of Mathematics or
a very neat trick I hadn't thought of in more familiar territory. One example of this is my
attendance at weekly lectures given by the department of Mathematics at Bristol University,
covering topics from the Mathematics of juggling to quantum mechanics, although some of
my favourites have been those on the less exotic "inequalities", which taught me a lot about
thinking about problems creatively.
I also attended a summer school run by the National Academy of Gifted and Talented
Youth at the University of Durham, where I spent two weeks being introduced to various
approachable first year undergraduate topics such as proof by induction, Markov chains and
using Maple. This experience not only allowed me to discover areas of Mathematics I would
not otherwise have encountered, but also gave me a small taste of university life, as there was
a large number of us living in one of the colleges.
I am also involved in the UKMT mentoring scheme, whereby each month I am given a
sheet of questions in areas not touched on at A level, such as geometry and number theory,
giving me a good opportunity to explore new mathematical ideas myself, and gain a much
deeper appreciation of the interconnections within Mathematics and the creation of proofs. I
am a member of the school's Maths team and we are regularly successful in competing against

teams from other schools in the area. I also attend STEP sessions at local schools when
available, as I find the questions much more interesting than the standard A level ones, and
thinking about how to solve them has greatly improved my rigour in approaching problems.

Among the mathematical books I have read, I enjoyed "Godel, Escher, Bach", which
gives a good grounding in axiomatic reasoning and formal systems, whilst at the same time
pointing out their major flaw. I also liked "To infinity and beyond" by Eli Maor, which deals
with the concept of infinity, its implications and its paradoxes, both in Maths and elsewhere.
I particularly enjoy the pure side of the A level syllabus, especially trigonometry and
calculus, as they involve a certain degree of proof and introduce new concepts. I believe my
other academic subjects all complement Mathematics as they are about finding ways of
describing reality, be it through language in French or through equations and models in
Physics and Chemistry. I find Critical Thinking especially relevant as it is about the
construction of sound logical arguments, an art lying at the heart of Mathematics in proof. I
have acheived an A grade in all modules across all my subjects.
In my spare time, I practise kickboxing, and have competed in various local
competitions. As a volunteer, I am involved in a year seven Maths mentoring scheme and help
at a homeless shelter. I enjoy travelling, and will be going to Nicaragua for a month after my
A levels to help in a small village, explore the local jungles and volcanoes and practise my
Spanish. I lived in France from the ages of 9 to 12, and learnt to adapt to a new language and
culture.
I very much look forward to exploring the new ideas of University level Mathematics,
and playing a full part in University life.

How do we fight an environmental crisis? In a country like Pakistan, where concerns
such as fighting terrorism, poverty, and corruption dominate the stage, it is unnerving to see
how this question is often sidelined. I did not always think like this, however.
My inclination towards Science and natural adeptness at it became obvious when, in
fifth grade, I was honoured with an Award for Excellence in General Science. My prize
comprised of two books: one on General Geography, and the other about Volcanoes.
Thereafter, I was drawn towards scientific films and books. I started learning how thousands
of intricate processes work in harmony within and around the Earth to achieve equilibrium.
This fascination escalated over the years. I also noticed how I had a greater aptitude for
Biology than the other natural sciences; beyond doubt, there is no system as elaborately
fashioned as the living organism.
I was introduced to Environmental Sciences through coincidence. My mind was set: I
wanted to choose a field that had room for scientific research, and as I sifted through the
innumerable pages of my chosen university's prospectus, I was exclusively inclined towards it.
The theme sounded intriguing, fresh, and unique; it did not restrict me to any single branch of
science. Then, as I researched the subject further, I began to see the vast width of its
application to my surroundings. My people drink out of rivers contaminated with toxic
effluents, live among solid waste disposal sites labelled 'landfills' by leaders, breathe air so
heavily laden with pollutants that it is difficult to see through. I concluded without hesitation
that this is the field I want to pursue.
I chose this course because it combines my passion for environmental concerns with
my favourite limb of science, topped with the potential for research. Reader's Digest, National
Geographic, Biomass Digest and other scientific websites serve as a rewarding pass-time.
Today, Biotechnology is increasingly being used for the advantage of human beings. Biofuels,

for example, are being developed to replace non-renewable fossil fuels; plants and animals are
being genetically bred to meet the growing population's demand for food; bioremediation is
serving as the ultimate solution to land contamination by oil spills. I believe that it does not
end here. There is a wealth of untapped potential in the application of Biotechnology to

counter environmental issues, and I have faith that time dedicated to research in this field will
bear fruit.
In my second year at University, I led my department's team to victory in the country's
biggest Science Olympiad: LUMS PsiFi'10. We participated in three major events, the most
appealing of which was 'Earthophilia'. Each team was given a photograph depicting a realtime environmental problem in the city and was given 2-3 weeks to devise a scientific and
economically workable solution, requiring thorough research and hours of brainstorming. As
a team lead, I made a conscious effort to treat each member's opinion as equally valuable, and
kept myself open to constructive criticism. During this time, I lost my mother to Brain
Hemorrhage. However, I realized that opportunities like this do not present themselves often,
and so trudged ahead. The week preceding the competition was mostly spent rehearsing and
guiding team fellows through the presentation lay-out, the title of which was 'Integrated
Action Plan to reduce Vehicular Emissions'. We wrapped it up with a Cost-Benefit Analysis
of the proposed strategy to prove its economic feasibility. It was an immensely enjoyable way
of learning how to adjust to a completely different environment, to handle the pressures of a
deadline, and to be a responsible and composed team leader. I believe I will continue to
contribute through similar extra-curricular involvement in the future.
I also interned on-campus with a team for the quantification and formal reporting of
Carbon Sinks. The objective was to take remedial measures for combating the surplus
pollution. We spent entire evenings measuring the surface area of leaves and counting trees
for approximation, simultaneously compiling our work in an Excel spreadsheet. The job was

tedious, but rewarding. It gives me great satisfaction to know that I played some role,
however small, towards making our University 'green'.
I feel even strongly when I think about Pakistan as a whole. I want to contribute
towards a positive change in the country's environment. Ideally, this would be via the next
breakthrough in Environmental Science, but realistically, through a life of hard work
dedicated to my country's development and maturation. I believe that my varied interests and
capabilities will find home in the UK, and I am sure this course will satiate my appetite for
research-oriented learning. I hope to return to Pakistan polished, and equipped with
knowledge that will benefit its environment in a creative, economical and innovative way.

The possibilities of biotechnology first intrigued me when I watched Jurassic park. I
ran around my house asking if it was possible to bring back dinosaurs, and spent the rest of
my childhood imagining that it was. My parents sparked my curiousity by taking me to places
like the petrified forest national park in Arizona or skiing in the rocky mountains. This is
where my inherent passion for the sciences came about. An amalgamation of experience and
education made me the person I am today.
After reading Stephen Hawking's 'The Theory of Everything', I was amazed by how
vast our universe is. We only understand a fraction of it. Ever since, I have incorporated my
studies with the world around me. I'm interested by the development of new ways to solve
modern problems. People rejoice when they learn that coal production is declining. However,
sulphur released from coal produces a 'shield' in the atmosphere and is actually responsible for
keeping temperatures somewhat stable; another factor scientists must consider. My passion
for biology has grown immense over the years. It started when a friend and I were inspired to

work out after watching Arnold Schwarzenegger films. Being biology students, we
immediately started researching methods for the fastest gains. We studied various factors like:
the effects of consuming creatine monohydrate and the different types of workouts. Indirectly,
we covered part of our A-level syllabus in the ninth grade. Fascination with the practicalities
of science had manifested the applications of it in our lives.
Every year, my family visits rural villages in Uttar Pradesh. Living in the villages
allows me to appreciate the things I'm blessed with. I've also learned that crude forms of
biotechnology are ubiquitous. In many houses cow dung is piled up in underground chambers.
Pipes from the chambers connect to gas cylinders and provide methane to light gas stoves. My
goal is to make modern biotechnology prominent in these villages.
Succeeding in biotechnology requires knowledge drawn from an eclectic mix of
subjects. I'm currently finishing my A-levels with biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics,
and art. Art has helped me appreciate aesthetics and has taught me the importance of
dedication. I was one of the few students chosen to attend the UNIS-UN conference in New
York. The theme for the conference was 'The Web: Wiring our World'. For the film
competition, we composed a short film focusing on the defects of the internet, and won first

place. After returning, I started the school debate club with a friend. Maintaining the club
taught us cooperation and leadership skills. Debating is particularly useful when my friends
and I argue about the ethical issues surrounding modern biotechnology. I can express my
views lucidly, advocating my passion.
One thing that makes me happy is giving. In America, my friends and I ran a service
that provided help to students in the neighbourhood, called 'Homework Helper'. We would
help out younger children with their homework, and in the process finish our own work. In
my current school, I am part of the Interact club. We take time every month to visit
underprivileged children and teach them how to read and write. Other hobbies of mine include

drama and on-stage improvisation. Acting in school plays has shown me the significance of
body language in our everyday interactions. Living in America and India has taught me the
importance of culture in our society. I express culture through my music when I play the
guitar. Meeting people around the world has emphasized the importance of perspective.
Everyone is unique, yet we all share a common goal of happiness.

“The first and simplest emotion which we discover in the human mind is curiosity”. I
believe that when the mind is allowed to think outside the pre-defined constraints of society,
the different directions in which it can travel are infinite.
Philosophy for me is the basis on which our lives are based and after reading
Aristotle‟s Ethics, it is fascinating to find that a lot of the beliefs I hold are so similar to those
held by someone who lived over two thousand years ago. My main inspiration for taking
Philosophy is Socrates and his unapologetic moral compass. Even when confronted with his
own mortality, he refuses to take the easy option that would compromise what he believes in,
for me Socrates incorporates everything I feel a good person should be. I am most interested
in learning about Ancient Greek philosophy because I feel that in this day and age, the
majority of people have lost sight of the basic principles of morals and ethics written by the
likes of Plato and Aristotle all those years ago. I also believe like Descartes that I must forget
everything I think I know about life and start from the beginning and the next step for me is
university.
I have particularly enjoyed studying Dr Carol Dweck‟s theories of Intelligence. I
related to this study because I feel that it summed up my years at school almost perfectly. For
most of my childhood up until the end of my teenage years my view on intelligence was, as

Dr Dweck theorizes, the “Entity theory of intelligence”. Threatened by failure I have shied
away from academic study, because I felt that failure indicated a lack of intelligence and
because of this view I never committed myself to my studies. My views on this have radically
changed over the last 7 years and I now believe that intelligence is interchangeable, that if
curiosity is ignited in the right way, it can be enhanced with the only limitation being yourself.
I am currently a student of Psychology and Politics which I am really enjoying. It is
exciting to be back in a learning environment and I feel that even though I have done a lot of
reading at home, nothing compares to being able to debate a point and question reasoning face
to face. I have always been an enthusiastic reader but my thirst for knowledge and
understanding didn‟t really explode until I was 18. The advancement in available material
through the internet has helped me in my quest to learn and understand anything and
