Undergraduate / 'fascinated by medical science' - University of Sydney will uplift my standards [2]

How did you choose your proposed Course and institution?

Ever since I was young, I had always been fascinated by medical science. As I develop into a teenager, my desire to be in the medical field grew and it had motivated me to study hard in school since then. I have always dreamed of becoming someone special and great that will make a difference in peoples' lives. One of the things that motivated me to specialize in Medical Science and Surgery was because of my grandparents who both had surgeries last year. One of the things that caught my divine attention was the lack of Urologists that were present in Fiji. These indicated that Fiji still need more doctors that specialize in rare fields. There seems to be an increase amount of expatriates coming to work in our country. I preferably think that there should be more opportunities given to students in Fiji to study abroad in order to gain more experience and help in developing the nation and promoting knowledge. Therefore, I have chosen MBBS because it will develop my skills and broaden my knowledge in medicine since I am very interested in this field. I also chose my course by researching online on the different courses of medical field but MBBS literally stood out and captured my attention from the rest of the field. I also did an online test (study portals) based on my personality and results indicated that I choose this degree since it matches my profile best. Upon choosing my institution, I did a research on a list of Universities that offered this course and so I chose University of Sydney because it was on the top three University of Australia and was ranked top 56th University in the world and was the first Australian University. There was also a great achievement where the cancer researchers had done a ground breaking research which will significantly help in identifying cancer treatments. The University of Sydney has a good reputation and is globally recognized. Hence, I firmly believe that the University will offer a breathtaking journey and will further broaden my knowledge, develop my talents and skills and will provide a worthwhile experience. This will uplift my standard and be able to drive positive changes, be an eye opener and help in influencing better medical experiences which will boost development in Fiji.

Undergraduate / How will the proposed to your career? [4]

The proposed study will have a tremendous impact and will contribute a lot to my career. Firstly, it will help me attain a quality education of training and practicals which will broaden my knowledge in this field of Medical Science and Surgery. This will, in turn, help me in contributing towards the promotion of prosperity and reducing poverty in Fiji. It will have a large impact on my career and will also enhance my education by strengthening the criteria that I lack in. It will also help me to become a professional worker and an expert in my field of study. Having this proposed study overseas will also provide a good reputation and help me to incorporate much-needed information that will be able to implement change in Fiji. This will be able to solve challenges and further improve the standard of the health department and will be a great help to the health of people in Fiji. It will also help in providing a pathway to my future career by engaging myself in learning the most interesting and difficult part of the field to be studied, greatly increasing my level of intelligent. This will be a further contributor in shaping my future. The proposed study will also support me in terms of financial need.This will lift a great burden off my parents and will motivate me to study even harder and will provide me with the mindset of doing the best I can to strive forward and aim for excellence. Since I am very interested in a neurology field, or any specialising field that is lacking in Fiji, I personally know that the road to success will not be a smooth one and it will take a lot of effort, sacrifice, determination, perseverance and most importantly patience in order to reach my goal. So having this proposed study will be a life changing experience in my career and will be a great motivator in trying to drive positive changes and influence economic and social development not only in the Health sector but in other sectors as well. Australia is more advanced in terms of services and facilities which will help me to understand more. This will strengthen my abilities in helping to contribute to the future of Fiji. My journey of education will not end until I know that I have reached the highest level of study and have performed to the best of my abilities for this country of mine, Fiji.
