Ch2m Personal Statement

I am writing to apply for the Environmental, Earth and Natural Sciences Graduate UK 2016 intake (Reference number: 150001I2), as advertised on the Ch2m website.

As a recent graduate with a 1st Class degree in Geography, I am able to meet the requirements outlined in the job specification (see enclosed CV document). I am now looking to apply the knowledge and skills acquired during my degree into the workplace and a graduate role with Ch2m offers me the perfect opportunity to do this.

During my final year at university, I specialised in environmental research, climate science, sustainability and geoinformatics and so these aspects of the scheme appeal to me most. As part of my studies, I undertook a number of group and independent projects (detailed within my CV), so I am comfortable working autonomously or as part of a team. I also acquired excellent organisation and communication abilities that are reflected in my 1st class project grades and feedback from lecturers. My undergraduate dissertation received the highest grade in the department (85%) and in April 2015 I represented the university at the British Conference for Undergraduate Research.

    Attending GHP would be a dream come true because I have desired the opportunity to participate in GHP since freshmen year when I learned what GHP is. It is an amazing program that could help me grow not only as a student but also a person. I believe that GHP will provide me with a unique experience which will further my preparedness for college. It will be my first time traveling for an elongated period of time without my family alongside me. Additionally, we are given more support from a teacher in high school than that given in college, so I will encounter the effort required to do well in college.…

    “I go to see a great perhaps.” This quote is from Looking for Alaska, a book written by John Green. In this novel, the main character, Miles, is fascinated with his dad’s collection of biographies and finding the last words of these people. When Miles is going off to boarding school, he uses Rabelais’ dying words to show that he is looking for something greater than he already has. I think that Rabelais used these words to explain that he was to use his afterlife to find ways to better himself.…

    Once I have completed my GCSEs, I hope to attend Lady Manners Sixth Form as I feel that I will be able to pursue my academic career whilst also experiencing an alternative educational environment and hopefully acquiring new skills and exploring the many possibilities available to me outside of my A level studies. Each of my option subjects that I have chosen, I feel are appropriate for me to study at A Level as my predicted GCSEs suggest that I will be capable of studying them further and I am keen to do so. I have decided to take Chemistry, as I currently enjoy taking the subject as part of my Additional Science GCSE, and I am interested in exploring the subject further and delving deeper into the science involved which I have currently been unable to do as part of my Addition Science GCSE. As well as Chemistry, I have decided to choose English Literature as I enjoy taking the subject and I’m looking forward to studying the subject as it is something I have always passionate about…

    My passion for Chemistry started in year 7, the teacher I had for science made the subject interesting and fun, so I looked forward to every science lesson I had. The areas of chemistry that interest me are inorganic and organic chemistry as you can learn a lot about how and why different substances react in different situations. I also enjoy physical chemistry, because it allows you to apply chemistry to life situations. In addition, the skills I have learnt from chemistry are varied.…

    David Starkey’s lecture on the 1215 Magna Carta started my interest for law. The Laws of the Magna Carta very much affected the people of 1215 whether that be the barons or the monarch himself, and the same can be said in today’s society, that the law affects everyone. Henceforth, my chosen area of which I would like to study is law. In a world of change, I believe that is important for laws to be changed and for new laws to be introduced so that they reflect the concerns and ideas of the current civilisation. Personally, I conscientiously keep up to date with current issues and affairs because I think it is imperative to know about this and how it affects not only you but everyone else.…

    I am applying for a place on Diplomacy, Business and Trade Master 's course at the Loughborough University London, because I am very interested in the topics covered particularly about business trading, operation and communication. My interest in these areas was first initiated during my undergraduate studies at the Beijing International Studies University where I learned the module of Business and Strategy and the World Economy. It is undoubtedly logical for me to study Business Accounting, besides, Beijing International Studies University, one of the famous universities in China, is offering HND course in an English environment. All the modules are delivered in English, all the assessments are required to be written in English, and the lectures are qualified not only in teaching, but also in their professional fields. Knowing that such an experience could help me to develop my English skills and the basic accounting and business knowledge.…
