Deciding to Study with BPP

This section focuses on your decision making process to apply to BPP University for your
chosen programme of study. For some of these responses you may refer to BPP University’s
website however, you are not allowed to copy and paste from a website. For each
question below, please limit responses to a maximum of 250 words.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Why have you chosen to study in the UK?

I chose to study in the United Kingdom as it has world-leading academic and professional opportunities in the
course I have chosen to study. The United Kingdom has a strong tradition of excellence in pharmaceutical science
and health-related courses with backing from world-leading universities and state-of-the-art research facilities in
addition to strong links with the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries.

Unlike other countries, the courses in the UK are oriented towards a practical industry- and research-based
approach. This ensures that students not only possess sound knowledge of theory but are also endowed with
hands-on experience that is usable in the real world. The course is reviewed and updated continuously in
consultation with industry experts so it is highly relevant to world problems in healthcare.

The UK is also host to some of the world's premier pharmaceutical firms and research centers. Learning in such a
context will expose me to cutting-edge innovations, case analyses, and industry bests. Further, the shorter course
duration in the UK puts me in a position to finish schooling faster, yet be absolutely up to the mark.

Studying in the UK will provide an academic foundation while simultaneously training to be able to bring value
addition to the pharmaceutical and healthcare sector in Nepal and internationally.

Which other Universities did you consider? You must complete at least one University.

Why did you not choose this University?


Although the University of East London has strong programs, I discovered that their course structure wasn't as relevant to
University 1: my academic foundation and professional aspirations. The modules in UEL are generic and less research- oriented in
relation to the course I have selected. Since I already have a Bachelor of Pharmacy degree, I need a course with more
practical exposure and direct relevance to the pharmaceutical and healthcare industry. By comparing course coverage in
University of East London the syllabus, I felt that the university I have chosen has more specialized courses, higher probability of research opportunity
and greater professional career in my speciality.

The University of Greenwich is also a well-recommended institution, but I discovered that it has a theory-based and less
University 2: industry-specific program compared to what I am looking for. Specifically, I am interested in a course with an incorporation
of recent pharmaceutical processes, industry projects, and research experiences. I believe these are offered best by the
university I chose. Moreover, Greenwich's site and mode of study were not up to my personal choice of having a university
University of Greenwich with greater professional connections and real-world training facilities. Thus, I opted to study at the institution with a course
that is best suited and job-oriented.

University 3:

Which modules are you looking forward to studying and why?


I specifically hope to derive benefits from learning modules related to my academic degree in pharmacy and
professional ambition in healthcare and pharmaceutical management. Modules like Pharmaceutical Management
and Marketing will be in a position to assist me in taking full advantage of the foundation I established in my
Bachelor of Pharmacy degree where I initially learned pharmaceutical marketing strategies. This will equip me with
the management and business skills needed to be an ideal professional within the pharmaceutical market.
Another course I am interested in is Research Methods and Biostatistics because I already studied biostatistics and
research methods in undergraduate university. Iyearn to even better possess a solid mastery over how to design,
carry out, and interpret research in real-world practical situations in pharmaceuticals and healthcare.
I am equally enthusiastic to learn Pharmacovigilance and Public Health–related modules, as these are about
patient safety, safety monitoring of drugs and their effects and enhancing healthcare outcomes—domains of
paramount importance in developing nations like Nepal. These modules will bridge the gap between theory and
application in healthcare policy and practice. Through these modules, I aim to enhance both discipline knowledge
and generic skills such as critical thinking and data and decision analysis to be helpful in the prospective career.
Explain how your chosen course of study will help to prepare for your future career?

My degree of choice will provide me with advanced knowledge and hands-on skills necessary to be competitive in the
pharmaceutical and healthcare industry. From the Bachelor of Pharmacy degree, the degree will prepare me to
specialize in pharmaceutical management, research methods, biostatistics, and pharmacovigilance—skills even more
essential in Nepal's expanding healthcare market.

Upon graduation in the UK, I will be heading back to Nepal to establish a career in the pharmaceutical and healthcare
industry, where market demand is expanding rapidly for internationally trained professionals. Top firms like Lomus,
Nepal Remedies, Asian Pharmaceuticals, Quest Pharmaceuticals, and Deurali-Janta are expanding and require highly
trained graduates to constitute their research and development, management levels, and manufacturing units. There are
chances in hospitals, NGOs, research centers, and government projects too, where pharmacovigilance management,
healthcare management, and research-based decisions are greatly needed.

With a degree from the UK, I would be very well equipped to join mid- to senior positions like Pharmaceutical Manager,
Quality Assurance Specialist, Regulatory Affairs Officer, or Research Associate. Salaries in Nepal within this discipline
usually begin at NPR 50,000–80,000 to the-month and may reach NPR 100,000–150,000 and upwards with experience
and overseas exposure. This course will position me to add to the growth of Nepal's healthcare industry.

Living in the UK
This section focuses on your understanding and appreciation of life in the UK. Adapting to
life in the UK will be a transition for you, and to make this easier there is some
consideration you need to have done as part of the application process.
Have you considered the cost of living in the UK? Yes ✔ No

Are you aware that BPP has a ‘Bring your own Device’ policy? Yes ✔ No

Can you briefly explain what the ‘Bring your own Device’ policy means?
The 'Bring Your Own Device' (BYOD) policy means that students are expected to use their personal electronic devices, such
as laptops, tablets, or smartphones, for their studies. BPP University will not provide these devices, and students are
responsible for bringing their own to access course materials, participate in online learning activities, complete assignments,
and engage with university resources. This policy typically requires devices to meet certain minimum specifications to
ensure compatibility with the university's systems and software.

Do you currently have plans for accommodation? Yes No ✔


Please outline your accommodation plans below. Please be aware BPP does offer
accommodation services through third-party providers.

I plan to secure accommodation prior to my arrival in the UK. My initial approach will involve exploring options provided
through BPP University's third-party accommodation services. Additionally, if not available, I will research private rental
options and student housing platforms in London to ensure I find suitable accommodation that is conveniently located near
the university campus and within my budget. I am committed to finalizing my accommodation arrangements well in advance
of my course start date to ensure a smooth transition to studying in the UK.
