I would like to be considered for your degree course in Zoology, starting in October next year. I feel I am a good candidate for this course as I have always been interested in natural history and even as a child I have enjoyed studying animals and insects in my garden. Your science faculty has a good reputation and I would very much like to be part of it.

As you already saw in Section A of this application, I have a good academic record and just received the results of my recent exams all of which have been excellent.

In addition, your university attracts me because I enjoy sports and I have read in your prospectus about the large number of sports on offer. Last year I have represented my school at badminton and I played in football teams since I was eleven. I have recently joined a basketball team which competes at a national level.

I did not travel abroad much yet, although as a young child I have been to Singapore and Hong Kong with my family. I realize that I have nor spent much time away from home up to now, but I am keen to become more independent.
