1. 邬 智 文 Other Scholarships Applied CITY UNIVERSITY, LONDON Bachelor of Science – Actuarial Science (Honours) UNIVERSITY OF MELBOURNE Bachelor of Commence – Actuarial Studies Mathematics and Further Mathematics in my GCE Advanced Level, both boost up my problem solving capabilities and also the strength of interpretation under extreme time limits. Deepening my thirst for mathematical facts, it displays an absolutely new universe of Mathematics where I have to decipher all the astounding codes made up of designated upper-case and lower-case of Greek symbols and Roman letters together with the subscript and superscripts of numbers. While being the Secretary of School Librarian Board, I have learnt to prioritize every task given, just to minimize and eliminate the pressure of deadlines. As application forms, organization charts, name tags, meeting minute reports, monthly reports, just to name a few, require an intermediate level of understanding and operation in Microsoft Offices, it is necessary to enhance my computer literacy, building the foundation needed in the future. AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL UNIVERSITY Bachelor of Actuarial Studies / Finance As I firmly believe that interpersonal and intrapersonal skills can aid us enormously in our tomorrows, I strived hard to obtain the title of the President of the Red Crescent Society. In view of that, an open and honest feedback regarding my leadership style from the committees and teacher adviser is needed to refine my duty as a shepherd. Through this purification process, I have now possessed the ability to communicate clearly and listen actively, not to mention persuade empathetically and negotiate faithfully. In the future, it undoubtedly easier for me to convey complex fundamental actuarial matters to those who lack an actuarial background; tell them not only what the statistics are, but also what each and every numbers means. Economics additionally familiarises my mind with the economical techniques involved and equipped my brain with new business knowledge. Improving my analytical approach towards business field, it illustrates and dissects economic issues and arguments, ranging from an introduction to the price system to the consequences of macroeconomic policies. I have FINANCIAL PROBLEMS to achieve my dream! PERSONAL PROFILE Superior Computer Literacy Specialized Mathematics Knowledge Solid Communication Skill Sound Business Sense It would be such a pivotal event in my life if a sponsorship could be given for me from GENTING to pursue my undergraduate studies in the United Kingdom or Australia. It is my absolute honour to say that the sponsorship from GENTING would be a catalyst to speed up my path to live my dream and achieve my eventual goal. Hoping to contribute all that I could to the society, I’m certain that the sponsorship is all that I need to pursue my interest in becoming an actuary. If only I’m given this one chance, I believe, it could change my life and the future dramatically.

Both my father and mother are in retiring age of 60 and 57 respectively. They, however, chose to not retire earlier as they feared that they might not have sufficient funds to support my tertiary education. Furthermore, my family went bankruptcy ten years ago and my parents are still working out to repay all the debts though we are not in the status of “BANKRUPTCY” right now. With 3A* and 1A in my Cambridge GCE A Levels, I felt happy as I could make them proud of me. Nevertheless, I could only get scholarship to study locally. Now, my target lies on the universities in United Kingdom or Australia, as they are better in Actuarial Science course. Unquestionably, it is arguably an impossible mission for them to continue supporting my tertiary education overseas. Hence, I know the only chance for me to pursue my eventual aim lies on the SCHOLARSHIP, and I worked HARD just to show how passionate and sincere I am, towards my dream. An actuary, as the master in risk management, must possess specialized mathematics knowledge, sound business sense, solid communication skills, and superior computer literacy.

Insurance in the world now, is a form of risk management, primarily to dodge against the risk of a contingent. Actuaries, thence, play a central role in financial kingdom as the human beings now turned commerce as a means of survival. It is nothing less than a truth as everything is connected to Mathematics, in the business world, especially. When people say it is luck, connection or whatsoever, I said it is nothing but risks and risks are again all about Mathematics. Risk management is vital ingredient to a long-lasting and successful business; without foreseeing what hazards may emerge ahead, it is arduous to introduce and propose appropriate actions to minify or eliminate the critical impacts.
