STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
INTRODUCTION
I am honored to introduce myself as Mr. Sakriya Adhikari, a permanent resident of Kalika-8, chitwan,
Nepal, born on 30-jan-2004.While talking about myself, I am an enthusiastic, highly energetic individual
and always seeking for opportunity to expand my future career and moving forwards with aspirations and
motivation. The learning education, knowledge and gaining of skills have always been the top most
priority for my career.

To my successful educational career, I would like to thank to my parents and all the credit goes to them
for continuous support and motivation. They always drive me forwards to achieve my career. I intend to
pursue my Hospitality Management at University Of Roehampton, United Kingdom.

ACADEMIC AND WORK EXPERIENCE

My education career started at Moonlight Secondary English Boarding School, Chitwan, Nepal from
where I completed my secondary education examination with a GPA 3.65 in 2022 AD. Furthermore, I got
enrolled to study my higher secondary education in New Capital Collage, Chitwan, Nepal. With my two
years of hard work, I completed my School Leaving Certificate Examination (Grade -12) with a GPA
3.04 in 2022 AD.

After completion of my intermediate level, I started working as accountant assistant at PASHUPATI

PIPE UDHYOK, Ratnanagar-14, Chitwan, Nepal, from 1st January 2023 to Till Date.

While working at PASHUPATI PIPE UDHYOK, I sharp my mind and create extremely positive attitude
towards experience and why this is important to achieve my career goal?

My duties and responsibilities at PASHUPATI PIPE UDHYOK

1. Monitoring daily communications and answering any queries from the customers.
2. Preparing statutory accounts.
3. Ensuring payments, amounts and records are correct and up to date
4. Working with spreadsheets, sales and purchase ledgers and journals.
5. Recording and filing cash transactions in regular basis
6. Controlling credit and chasing debt of the company.
7. Updating and maintaining procedural documentation.

My fascination is to turn myself into an established expert proficient in the field of Hospitality business;
however, ongoing education system in Nepal is not suitable as it possesses various difficulties and
irregularities. I, therefore, decided to go for overseas study instead of my home country.
As I was planning to study abroad I started preparing for IELTS test. I took IELTS test on 11 th March,
2023 AD. And secured an overall Score of 6 (listening-7, reading-5.5, speaking-6, writing- 5.5)

After the completion of my higher secondary education, I took some time to figure out what could be my
career in hospitality business? I was able to acknowledge what actually are my strengths and goals. Soon
after I realized that I need a good quality of education to achieve my career goals. It was little hard for me
to decide where to study. After research for a month, I come to conclude the study at University Of
Roehampton, my decision was well supported and praised by my family member as they were aware of
the quality education that UNITED KINGDOM provides.
WHY NOT NEPAL, MY HOME COUNTRY?
As soon as I finished my Class- 12 in management, I began conducting research at various universities I
was familiar with the education system and teaching methodology of my country as I completed my +2
level studies in Nepal. The education system in Nepal hasn’t been fully upgraded, and its curriculum and
students are not provided with the practical knowledge that will be the basis to compete in this globalized
world.
The education system in my country is in poor condition, and the teaching system has diverted my
attention and caused me to seek education in other countries. In my research, I did not find the institutions
and the academic process here in Nepal as attractive as in foreign universities.
Moreover, there is a lack of recent equipment and tools required for practical skills as old and
unsystematic labs are being used from ages ago, which, I believe, might not be the most beneficial and
successful approach to fuel my interest in learning. They are constantly following the same pattern
without any change in curriculum and instructive methodologies. In addition to a lack of focus on
interactive and applied learning, the courses offered are not recognized globally.
On the other hand, I will get an incredible chance to meet students from various countries and become
lifelong friends; learn self-reliance, experience new cultures, gain independence, and share thoughts and
knowledge if I study outside Nepal. Thus, to get a higher quality of education that is centered on real
world experience and for wider professional opportunities, I made the decision to travel overseas for my
further studies. Apart from all these, there is a greater demand for job seekers who have an international
degree. The first large-scale survey to explore the long-term impact of study abroad on a student's
personal, professional, and academic life shows that study abroad positively and unequivocally influences
the career path, world-view, and self-confidence of students. Therefore, to get a higher quality of
education that is centered on real-world experience and for wider professional opportunities, I made the
decision to travel overseas to pursue my further studies. Studying abroad is all about pushing your limits
and venturing beyond your comfort zone.

WHY UNITED KINGDOM AS MY STUDY DESTINATION?

My country Nepal has many opportunities and possibilities. But, the education system in Nepal is not
fully upgraded; its curriculum and the students are not provided with the practical knowledge which will
be the basis to compete in this globalized world. As I intend to contribute to and develop a new business
and accounting culture in Nepal. But, the condition of the education system is limited and the teaching
system of my country distracted me a lot and forced me to look to other countries for a better education
career. I did not find the institutions and the academic process here in Nepal that can match my academic
desire. That's because I started searching for foreign universities. UNITED KINGDOM provides the
world's most rigorous protection for international students through Education Services for Overseas
Students (ESOS), and Tuition Protection Service (TPS). UNITED KINGDOM is a safe, multicultural,
friendly, and harmonious society. UNITED KINGDOM values the wealth of cultural diversity and social
sophistication that international students bring to the campuses and communities. Many international
students are choosing to study in UNITED KINGDOM because of its friendly, laid-back nature, excellent
education system, and high standard of living. UNITED KINGDOM has a proven reputation as an
educational provider; it provides high-quality education for all students, especially international ones.
There are a variety of reasons why I consider studying in UNITED KINGDOM. Currently, the country
makes the top three most popular study destinations in international education amounting to over a half
million overseas students only behind the AUSTRALIA, USA, and CANADA. This diverse community
of students at UNITED KINGDOM universities will be like meeting the whole world in a single place.
Such features are incredible indicators of the quality of education knowing that the country has only 67.33
million citizens.

WHY HOSPITALITY MANAGEMENT?

The hospitality management is becoming one of the fastest growing businesses in the world. The skills
that we learn while studying hospitality will give us the ability to deal with customers and clients, as well
as plan and organize events. In addition, we will also learn about the different aspects of running a
business, from accounting and marketing to human resources and operations.
Hospitality Management is a course with a personalized learning experience, which provides both
theoretical and practical understanding to the students to empower them with the proficient knowledge of
operations and management in the hospitality and tourism industry. This course focuses to develop an
entrepreneur skill in the hospitality field and provide students an opportunity to work in travel and
tourism sector professionally and successfully. During my course, I will learn how to find out who my
customers are what they want and need, as well as how to provide it both on time and with the highest
possible standard. To equip me for this complex and fast paced workforce, I need a combination of
theoretical knowledge taught by experienced lecturers and practical skills which are learnt through classes
held onsite restaurants. Through this practical application of theory and concepts, I will develop a broad
based understanding of hospitality and management so that both I and my future employer will be able to
stand out from the competition.

Hospitality Management helps in Applied hospitality design, Contemporary hospitality issues,

Contemporary leadership techniques, Customer relationship management, Hospitality business law,
Hospitality materials control, Human resource management in hospitality, Knowledge management,
Organizational behavior, Principles of financial reporting, Principles of hospitality management, Safety
and security practices, Services marketing, Strategic management. As this course teaches leadership
skills, management skills and competencies that are necessary in order to effectively operate in modern
day’s hospitality industry environment; I believe these skills will enhance my ability to deal with the
incompetency coming forward in the tourism and hotel industry. This course will offer me managerial
positions in hotels and resorts, human resources, marketing, front office, food services, food and
beverage, events and conferences and general management. The units that I will be studying as a part of
my course are.

MY FUTURE CAREER PLANS

Hospitality Management is basically a unique field that prepares a career focused students like me to
work in careers within the hospitality sector. From my intended course, I will be achieving the skills to
handle practical tasks in management and operations, marketing and developing service, hotel, restaurant
and tourism organizations. Also, I will be developed with the tools to compile budgets regarding
economic issues within the service industry. Even completing my course, I will gain a larger
understanding of service and intercultural issues in relation to customers, suppliers and partners. As the
degree of Bachelor of Hospitality Management will provide me with lifelong learning skills, creativity
and cultural competencies along with communications skills for a dynamic and global career, so,
gathering all these respective knowledge, skills and budgeting tools, I will come back to my country and
enhance my future career working in the hospitality sectors of Nepal.

Basically, the hospitality business is one of the fastest-growing industries here in Nepal. Therefore, the
hospitality sectors are constantly on the lookout for innovation, and now-a-days hotels industries are
demanding that kind of professional individual who can handle and manage the business by providing an
expert innovative idea. In regard to this, I am sure being a returnee of Bachelor of Business major in
hospitality management degree; I can meet the demanding manageable service handling ability which
will definitely accelerate my career progression. Moreover, a number of world-class brands are entering
Nepal and there are rises in demand, particularly for high-level, skilled professionals where they are in
demands of the graduates who holds an international degree. Also, looking after the growing hospitality
business, Nepal will have to produce thousands of skilled manpower over the next five years to cater to
the growing demands of the sector. Every of these mentioned factors clearly show there are higher
demands of the graduates who have the better expertise in the hospitality fields. And of course, I have
better chances to fit in such demands.

Coming back to Nepal, I would like to work as a successful Hotel Manager though there are so many
other career prospective that I can choose to continue like; Food & Beverage Manager, Event Manager,
Public Relations Manager, Sales Manager, Tourism Manager. With my desired position, I want to start
my professional journey working with different national and international Hotel like Hyatt Regency
Kathmandu Hotel Yak & Yeti The Dwarika’s Hotel, Crown Plaza Hotel Kathmandu, Soaltee Radisson
Hotel Kathmandu, Shangri La Hotel.

While working at Hospitality Management industry I expect the commencing salary ranging from NPR
60,000 to 70,000 in initial phase in the increment basis. Along with the salary, I can also expect to receive
other incentives, bonuses, accommodation facilities and communication sub charges. Hence, I am pretty
sure that grabbing the degree of Bachelor of Hospitality Management.
