I am very ambitious and and want my personal statement to reflect that.
‘My work experience and undergraduate studies to date have been targeted at preparing myself for this career where my passion truly lies in, as an a student with an architectural background I have always had a desire to understand the progression the UK has undergone to achieve its development and appraisal process through finance, physical, legal and social aspects.
Though I have no regret enrolling in my course an architectural course as it gave me an understanding to structures that often others are blind, in addition to my expert understanding with the CAD programs which has had a massive impact in my success within my work experiences.
My original ambition in life was to become an architect. However, it is perhaps unsurprising that when I discovered the overlaps that exist between buildings and business, my career aspirations would change in this direction. Now it is not the process of designing buildings that most interests me, but the costs and management side of building. After immersing myself in the blogs and resources of RICS’s surveying-360.com, I have become fascinated by all of the behind-the-scenes work and logistical considerations that go into creating buildings. As a result, I am now set upon becoming a quantity surveyor.
Over recent years I have developed my interest in the building industry and gained a practical experience of it through work placements. In May of last year I did a placement with Northacre, a renowned property development firm. I learnt a great deal about the processes behind bringing a building project to fruition and to analyse development situations and respond to particular development problems with derived solutions through various parts of the phase. In particular, I learnt about the numerous factors that have to be taken into consideration, whether they be design-related or stakeholder issues. I also gained experience in using CAD software, as well as a deeper appreciation of the presentation process to clients.
In the placement I spent a significant amount of time with both architects and quantity surveyors. Whilst I admire and respect the work of architects, I found myself much more interested in the work of the surveyors. It was here that I reached the final conclusion that it is the property development side of the industry that interests me.
Inspired by the experience, I have made property development the topic of my dissertation which only just proved to me the thirst I have for understanding the process of development. The sum of these school and work experiences has helped to encourage me to always strive to be a responsible, hard-working person, as well as teaching me important skills such as good organisation and problem solving. I see these as important qualities for enrolling on this course. I look forward to the opportunity to be able to apply them, and of course indulge my great love of buildings, through first a degree, and then a career in the profession.’
