How Do You Meet The Selection Criteria?

My open-minded approach to life means that I always welcome differences; I am of the opinion that it is actually our differences that make human beings stronger. Therefore, understanding different cultures can shed insight into our own lives and I believe that by exploring outside the box we learn more about ourselves. Thus, it is only natural that I would be interested in different cultures and this is why the Study China Programme is so appealing to me.

One of the challenges of undergraduate university study is that one is constantly concerned with the most effective means of studying; learning a new language requires one to study in a particular methods, one that I believe will enhance the development of my studies at university too. After university I intend to progress into biotechnology. I believe that China is at the forefront of technological advances and an opportunity to find out more about this country will aid me in my career aspirations.

I admire the fact that Chinese civilization has maintained itself over a long period of time; they were until the industrial revolution the most sophisticated and civilised nation in human history. The ideals of rural China for simplicity and the technologically advanced cities of China greatly appeals to me.

Once I complete the programme I will share this amazing experience by being as best as possible an ambassador for the Study China Programme. Furthermore, I plan to utilise my social networks in its various medium to fully share my personal experience with others. I enjoy the creative aspect of writing, I personally write a diary on a daily basis and I know if I were to travel outside of the UK the contents of my diary would greatly differ.

One of my strength is that I am a people-person, I get on well with others, and as a result I tend to do very well as a team player. Moreso, I encompass skills that make me a good leader, I am an excellent communicator, I like to plan my projects and I always put in 100% effort and enthusiasm in all that I do. Also, I understand that with responsibilities comes the need to be mature, for instance as a leader of a youth project in my local area, I need to ensure that my conduct is professional and that I am to the best of my abilities seen as a role-model to the young people that I work with.
