The study of mathematical sciences has intrigued me for many years. Thedecision to study A levels in both Maths and Physics stemmed from a highinterest level and strong aptitude in both subject areas. This was reflected inthe AS grades I received in June 20xx; achieving an A grade in mathematics whichhas inspired me further in my pursuit of the subject.
My interest has spread to computers and trying to link the two together hasplayed a big part of my life in the last few years. I have taught myself, usingbooks and other available sources, how to program in HTML and this has made itpossible for me to take an active role in web design.
My other academic interests include Business Studies, especially managementand finance areas which link with sections of the maths course. My choice toinclude a humanities subject at A level was partly encouraged by my need toanalyse and evaluate situations, Business Studies gives me the chance to do thisin great detail and I find it therapeutic to get involved in relevant
case studies. I am also taking an A level in General Studies which isincreasing my knowledge of political and cultural issues. The subject alsoencourages group discussions concerning current affairs and provides me with theopportunity to input my opinions.
For the last few years I have been a member of a Duke of Edinburgh schemerunning locally within the college. In June 20xx I completed the Bronze Awardand am now working towards my Gold. This has given me a lot of experience inteamwork, problem solving and maintaining a high level of responsibility. Thesequalities have been taken on into a successful work experience placement in year10 and my part time job as a sales/management assistant at respectable retailoutlet Marks and Spencer.
I have enjoyed my time in the Sixth Form and have taken pleasure from boththe academic and extra-curricular activities. I feel that I possess thequalities required to continue maths on to a higher level and combine it withmodules that both interest me now and in areas which I hope to build on whilstat university. I am confident that this enthusiasm will combine with my strongdetermination and motivation, enabling me to succeed in the challenges thatuniversity presents.
