My strong interest and exposure to lab sciences, along with my ability to work hard have led me to apply to the challenging course of Natural Sciences in the UK.I enjoy sciences because of their ability to help us understand our world. My eagerness to explore lab sciences is reflected in my IB choi

Ever since I played PC Logo to draw colourful lines over the screen at a very early age, I have been fascinated by computers with so many mysteries to be discovered behind that screen. When I was six, my father bought me a PC. Before long, I opened it up with screwdrivers and tried to play Lego with

I have been fascinated by how economics has had an influence in my own life; where frequent visits to Sri Lanka have exposed me to the harsh realities of poverty and I’ve noticed how economic policies like the employment of benefits are implemented to help tackle this.

The one thing, above all, that fascinates me about biochemistry is the unique perspective on life that it gives us; that 'we', ultimately, are the collective expression of millions of atomic interactions, all in exquisite coordination.

I aspire to study the evolving field that combines science and service - Medicine. Through volunteering and taking on an active role in my school community, I have discovered my passion for working with people and gained strong qualities in communication, listening and empathy. Furthermore, I want t

Economics is central, I feel, to an understanding of the dynamic but often contradictory world in which we live. India and China are heralded as the twin engines of the world economy yet both have millions suffering in poverty, whilst in Europe Greece, once home of one of the world’s greatest civili

My interest in mechanics began when my father took me for my first car show at the age of 10. I still remember the different designs and shapes of the cars present there, but the one that really caught my attention was the Rolls Royce Ghost. As I understood the car specifications being demonstrated

What makes medicine a unique career choice to me is the ideology of perpetual learning, either from case studies, our own experiences, or research articles. Secondly, the teaching of your specialised field to medical students on rotation. Taking a gap year to reapply after my unsuccessful applicat
