Scholarship / Need your kind attention to review my response to Chevening Scholarship question. [4]

Respected Holt I have amended as per your instruction
I am intending to do my postgraduate studies in one of these three universities: Coventry University, Bristol UWE and Queens University of Belfast. I have a conditional offer for master in Construction Management in Coventry University. Firstly, Construction Management course at Coventry is purely Industry focused and have flexibility for group and individual research project. A Global professional development module in C.M at Coventry in collaboration with CMI (Charted management institute) for practical leadership and for complex problem solution is enthralling thing to explore there. Secondly, I have an admission offer of University of West of England Bristol, master in Construction Project Management. This course is associated with frequent site visit, field work and attracted my attention as one can utilize the material and data from the home country in the dissertation, compares it with host country and can enrich the learning there. So master education from this institute with pragmatic experience of construction industry utilizing advance technique would provide me the sufficient knowledge, experience to solve the schedule delay issue as I am currently researching on this topic in collaboration with Lewis Toms (Mott MacDonald P.M).

Subsequently, I am also intending to apply for Master in Construction and Project Management in Queens university of Belfast. I personally feel that I can satisfactorily meet the requirement of this course. It contains modules Planning and Control research, Construction laws and Dispute resolution, which are commensurate to my current work and previous qualification. Working as a Planning Engineer at New Islamabad Airport project with CSCEC, I have been involved in the project control team of highly experience and qualification. Dissolving schedule delay issues practically, generating different claims as per contracts, including an Extension of time (Forensic Planning) will conspicuously help me to successfully meet the demand of this course. Moreover, my final year research was also in the domain of Construction project management.

I strongly believe that my relevant experience, online course pertaining to project management, software skills which I took, in subsequence to sound knowledge of B.Sc. Civil Engineering will considerably facilitate me to conduct research and meet demands of these intended courses. It is considered imperative to mention that many publicly funded projects in Pakistan get delay and we are still practicing obsolete construction project management techniques. There is scarcity of professional with specified knowledge of Construction project management as only one university in Pakistan is offering specialization. So, master in CPM will considerably help me with career advancement, implementing research outcomes in the domestic construction industry. Eventually, continuing my current research and above-mentioned factors in mind Chevening Scholarship is the best opportunity to actualize my postgraduate study in a developed country in the desired program.

Outline why you have selected your chosen three university courses, and explain how this relates to your previous academic or professional experience and your plans for the future.

three university courses and your goals



I am intending to do my postgraduate studies in Construction Management/Construction Project Management in one of these three universities: Robert Gordon University, Coventry University and Reading University. The reason to select these Universities is that all of these have appealing ongoing research in construction Project management, good prestige in U.K and pertinent availability of resources. I personally feel that I can satisfactorily meet the requirement of these. Through websites I visited University lab, checked admission requirement and specifically ongoing research which commensurate to my current research and recent experience foster my interest to finalize these institutes for higher education.

I strongly feel that my relevant experience, online course pertaining to project management, software skills which I took, in subsequence to sound knowledge of B.Sc. Civil Engineering will considerably facilitate me to conduct research and meet demands of the intended course. It is considered imperative to mention the reasons that, why I want to study this particular program abroad and how master in construction project management is essential for me. Firstly, my senior year research project was also in the domain of Construction Project Management which attracted my attention and hindsight. Secondly, working as a Planning Engineer at New Islamabad Airport project with...... I have been involved in the project control team of highly experience and qualification. Dissolving schedule delay issues practically, generating different claims as per contracts, monitoring project progress and performance instigated me to pursue this specific course.

During this period, I realized that Pakistan construction industry is still using obsolete project control techniques resulting in delay of almost every mega project along with manifold losses. Meager investment in research coup with lack resources and advancement not satisfying the demand of the construction industry. There is scarcity of professional with specified knowledge of Construction project management as only one university in Pakistan is offering specialization. So master education from renowned institute with pragmatic experience of construction industry utilizing advance technique would provide me the sufficient knowledge, experience to solve the schedule delay issue as I am currently researching on this topic in collaboration with Lewis Toms (Mott MacDonald P.M). Eventually, continuing my current research and above-mentioned factors in mind Chevening Scholarship is the best opportunity to actualize my postgraduate study in a developed country in the desired program.

Scholarship / My post study career plan for Chevening for your kind review [2]

my conspicuous role and contribution



I have experienced practically and studied that mostly publicly funded mega project in Pakistan never completes on time and takes usually more than twice durations than contractually earmark time. One quintessential out of several is my current project i.e. Construction of New Islamabad International airport project, which was to complete till 25th August, 2013 contractually and is still lingering on. So, upon completion of my master education, I will come back in Pakistan and resume my job in the construction sector. I am keen to attach with government organizations relating to my profession, such National development consultant Planning section and IDAP Punjab. The main strive to be to attach with these national organizations and implement my research outcomes in the domestic construction industry. I strongly feel that higher education from U.K coupled with prior professional experience, research experience enabled me qualified candidate. I will be in a higher managerial position within two years. So, with that position I will specifically implement Construction Management techniques of U.K along with my theoretical research consequences. I am not claiming that I shall control all construction project delay issues, but I strongly believe that I shall play my conspicuous role to replace obsolete construction execution technique and implement the method and practices prevailing in developed countries.

After 2 to 3 years, gaining pertinent professional experience, I will start teaching for the better interpretation and demonstration of my skills, knowledge and experience. The pragmatic experience, learning in diverse environment, international exposure, theoretical research and practical implementation of the real projects conspicuously help me for the better effectuation, flamboyance and pedagogy. I am strongly convinced that teacher with strong practical experience with real project accomplishment can hone practical perceptions of students and can yield better result. Teaching profession is hardly by choice in Pakistan, mostly the graduated with no job availability entered into it by an obsession. Consequently, the educational system is not well-matched to developed country's system and the research oriented programs equipped with latest technology and advancement are rare. It is imperative to mention here that the United Kingdom is investing significantly in Pakistan in the education sector in the form of education of disadvantages children, inspection and performance of the education provider, teaching and leadership, career guidance in further higher education, teacher training and professional development. I am desirous to add my contribution towards the education of underserved rural and semi-rural area. After establishing myself in some institute i.e. After 5 to 6 years I will start my Ph.D. From highly ranked institute.

The intent of this is to succinctly elaborate situations, contemporary events, competencies and skills to facilitate you to assess my leadership and influential qualities. Being lived in a remote area which get inundated by the River Chenabiver Chenab almost every year, I had yearned like other inhabitants to get rid of this destitution and stand among highly educated persons. My leadership capabilities improved, developed in my professional and social-civic phases of life. Firstly, I would like to elucidate it professionally. Just after graduation, I got a job as an Assistant Planning Engineer in China State Construction Engineering Corporation, at New Islamabad International airport project. This state concern mega project has several problems and challenges for project control team comprising on me and Planning Manager. We were assigned two huge tasks i.e. To get an extension of time for the project as it took thrice duration than contractual duration and second substantial completion of project within the deadline of Prime Minister. In the first effort, we submitted the interim EOT case to Mott Macdonald (Consultant) which rejected and our Planning Manager went back to Canada, leaving me in the lurch.

This drastic time provided me an ideal platform to exploit my competences, leadership guts and knowledge. I developed a comprehensive plan for project execution by utilized project time management skills. I learned, developed influencing qualities from the high virtuoso, hone intrinsically leading qualities and practiced them. Reckoning my abilities, potential Project Director asked all the stakeholder, Engineer, site staff to attend my lectures which I delivered on daily and weekly basis to expedite project progress and motivated individual to meet targets. I contended and impressed Consultant, client CAA (Civil Aviation Pakistan) though my mediation, interpersonal skills and effective decisiveness during predicaments in work. Finally, when I submitted grand EOT with irrefutable evidences, our organization got an extension with, associated with a cost of 6 billion. This accompanied with appreciation from my organization and I am Planning Incharge of 80 million (USD) project merely with 2-year experience.

Secondly, I would like to demonstrate the positive impact which I have pierced among the adolescents of my village. In the that desolated area families, undermine the importance of education due to scarce source of subsistence, I invigorate them to chase their dream. I have developed a small community in which I usually addressed them though motivational speeches and resolve their problems. This thing yielded positive impact and everyone there is competing with kids of privileged cities.

In summation of all, it is intimated that one can hone and ameliorate his skills, competencies through knowledge and exposure he gains. Specialized knowledge and milieu full of learning, research can open new avenues to materialize my dreams. I believe I will make it happen through Chevening.
