SWOT Analysis

Strengths

• I am good at dealing with problems and usually take lead on most projects.
• Hard working… but only with topics I am passionate about!
• Quick to learn and am very inquisitive.
• Good at applying logical thinking to a plethora of situations.
• I have experience within the workplace, helping me in my field of study.
• If I do not know something or have a challenge to overcome, I’ll use all of my resources to ensure I do so. 

Weaknesses

• I can be disorganised at times.
• Find it difficult to balance my social/work life, I am the type or person to put 100% into one thing rather than spread myself.
• Although I’m experienced, I have a lot more to learn about applying my knowledge.
• Lack confidence at times and sometimes doubt myself.
• I easily forget things unless the knowledge is used or noted down so I can go back to it (I am a fan of lists!)

Opportunities

• University will help me to organise myself, especially since my course is part time and will involve a lot of home study
• It will give me the knowledge to improve myself and also the qualifications to get a better job
• The chance to a fresh start within a new environment.

Threats

• The university worries me; I foresee problems that may require a great deal more effort from myself.
• My ability to adapt to university style learning.
• How I will overcome my weakness of not being very organised.
