STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

There are things which are within our power, and there are things which are beyond our power . Within our power are our opinions, aims , desire , aversion , and , in one word , whatever affairs are our own . If one were to ask my friends to describe me, they would describe me as a very pleasant, diverse, active and intelligent woman. I think one of the most distinguishing characteristics is the diversity of experiences I possess because of the numerous schools I have attended and places I have stayed in because of my fathers Defence background. I am a commerce student with a flair for the arts. I am woman with a technical aptitude and an interest in economics .I also have a passion for traveling and understanding different cultures of places. All these elements have given me a very broad outlook, with varying degrees of knowledge in a range of topics. I strongly believe that although some are not related directly, all these qualities will influence my graduate work. I have chosen to work in the area of Economics and International Finance Economics as it has such a demand for new ideas and a diverse range of opportunities . At the same time it requires a good mathematical and economics background and has obvious implications in real life. My education suits this field very well as I have completed my Bachelor of Business Economics during my undergraduation with Honors and my major with Econometrics and Financial management in my final year . I already have extensive knowledge both in Economics and finance, know the basic economic models and have a strong background in Operational research and Applications , Economics : theory and Application, Corporate Finance and International Finance Management . I have done research on Global Finance, Monetary & Economic Policy, Inflation, Employment and Unemployment for college projects using different mathematical & statistical methods . I feel cautious specifying which area of economics interests me for further study, but I do not think that this is a drawback. I find economics particularly attractive for the fact that it is broad, and has not yet been split into a set of sub-branches --- economists all speak almost the same languages. I also feel that in the face of complexity we face in this discipline, it would be ineffective to specialize too narrowly.

My background will add to the diversity of the class. I am eager to gain exposure to a diverse and international group of Warwick classmates, as well as their insight on the classes in which they have worked . I look forward to sharing my experience and a dynamic classroom environment with them . I am a hard-working and determined person, and I am ready for a new leap in my economic career. I will work hard in hope that the quantity of the effort I put in will result in high quality knowledge. The fact is that the possible supervisors and a highly competitive atmosphere are necessary for this quality . It would be a great pleasure and honor for me if given a chance to pursue my graduate studies at the Warwick University . If given an opportunity to do masters , I assure that my work would not fall short of your expectations. I hope that you will find in me a deserving and creditable student for Warwick University.
