Subject : Letter of Explanation
Dear Sir,
I would like a study a BTEC Edexcel Higher National Certificate in Business QCF level 4 Equivalent to
NQF Level 4, with two year duration as I was completed my intermediate in 2010 and Graduation in
2013 and after then Now I am applying to get business qualification from Grafton College of
Management Sciences because Grafton College is dedicated to the provision of a first class learning
experience that will equip you with the skills, ability and knowledge to successfully compete in your
chosen discipline. It is located in the heart of Dublin city and offers a wide range of full-time & part-time
programmes at Certificate, Diploma, Undergraduate & Postgraduate levels.
Grafton College of Management Sciences opened its first campus in Dublin in November 2003 and its
second campus in London in March 2004 to meet an ever-increasing demand for further and higher
education worldwide.
Grafton has since become an innovator in international student education and attracts students and
employees from around the globe. The London campus offers similar programmes to the Dublin
campus, which, as part of the overall strategy, gives students the opportunity of partaking in a
programme of study at two different locations, thereby increasing the overall learning experience by
offering two different cultural settings.
Since its foundation Grafton College has been actively involved in promoting British education abroad by
attending more than twenty education fairs a year. This has not only helped the College to identify the
needs of overseas clients, but also enabled its management to devise strategies for efficient global
investment and the development of corporate partnerships. As a result, Grafton College was able to
build an impressive third campus in Islamabad, Pakistan, which will open in 2010
Grafton pursues a student-centred approach to make studying in Dublin the most enjoyable and
valuable time of your life. All our programmes are reputable and accredited. their Our staff are
experienced and qualified, holding PhD and MBA qualifications from prestigious universities. Whats
more, all their teachers and academic lecturers are committed to passing on their knowledge and
expertise directly to the students. This approach will certainly prepare you for an exciting future.
Grafton College of Management Sciences not only offers support for you before you arrive and during
your first few weeks; you will also find that at any time during your studies there will be someone to
help you with any academic or personal problems that I might have. I will be assigned a personal tutor
who will as your point of contact throughout your studies. Support offered includes study skills classes,
advice on English language support, and extra help after lectures, and much more. Staff at Grafton
College is dedicated to making your stay enjoyable, friendly, and worthwhile.
As well as Grafton College has a competitive fee structure in comparison to other Irish further and
higher education providers. As an overseas student, you will be eligible for local tuition fees when
purchasing your second course at the College and the course which I have proposed with the awarding
body of Edexcel which is the UK's largest awarding body offering academic and vocational qualifications.
Edexcel's BTEC qualifications give students the skills they need to either move on to Higher education or
go straight into employment.
A Higher National student will develop management and other higher level technical skills required by
employers. After a period of usually two years, students often progress to the final year of degree
programmes or directly to employment.
A key progression path for BTEC HNC learners is to the third year of a degree or honours degree
programme, at number of UK and international universities depending on the match of the Edexcel BTEC
Higher National units to the degree programme in question.
After Completing BTEC Level 4 HNCs are undergraduate qualifications. We are roughly equivalent to the
first half of a degree. The students who want to obtain a good job without going to university, BTEC
qualifications provide the specialist knowledge, skills and confidence to make and immediate impact in
the modern workplace.
The Higher Certificate in Business is a two year level 6 programme which provides learners with a
sophisticated, theoretical and practical knowledge of the core business functions and organisational
operating environment.
The aims of the Higher Certificate in Business are to equip learners with a range of highly transferable
skills that will allow graduates make an immediate and positive contribution to a wide variety of
organisational issues including start up operations.
The Higher Certificate in Business ensures that graduates are academically proficient and successful
learners who are pre-pared for lifelong learning in academic, social and commercial environments.
On successful completion of the Higher Certificate in Business graduates will be eligible to apply for a
one year top up to a Bachelor of Business in a cognate area.

After carefully researching all my choices I have decided to study in Ireland because of their
Commitment to provide quality education, diversified international environment and above all
the degree I have chosen to study contains exact ingredients that I need to start my career in
Pakistan. Firstly, its fast track just one year long and give me the necessary knowledge of
Administrative management. Secondly, I understand studying in a totally new environment
Could be overwhelming so it is always nice to have a cover; I have my uncle living in Ireland
when I contacted him in this regard he graciously offered any assistance he could be which is a
huge relief for me and my family.

In conclusion, I believe strengths that I will bring from my stay in Ireland will bring exemplary
Leadership qualities and social skills which will help my academic and professional career a lot.



Thanks and Best Regards,
Muhammad Nadeem
