Graduate / Motivation, plans and goals to make a breakthrough in construction industry and material science [5]

Erasmus Mundus MAMASELF Master Motivation letter

Motivation and plans
any comment or suggestion is welcome, I want it to be great.

Dear Sir/Madam;

I am writing about my motivations and goals, that drives me to make a dramatic breakthrough in construction industry and material science. When I was in the fifth grade, my science teacher XXXX told me a Sentence I will never forget, she said "Afaf, you can make wonderful things to the world if you worked hard enough to achieve them", as a result of her encouragement I graduated from Civil Engineering with high GPA and I am very ambitious to change the world. To pursue my goal I must obtain more experience and develop my knowledge, therefore; I decided to take my master's degree abroad to obtain the opportunity of receiving education under highly qualified experts and advanced facilities. By applying to the master program in Materials Science Exploring Large Scale Facilities, and obtaining high level of academic education, I will make a difference in the world with the knowledge acquired from this program.

From my undergraduate studies in Civil Engineering I developed an interest in materials especially after studying the course of "Properties of Materials", where I got the highest mark in class with a grade of 99%. Moreover, when I studied Chemistry Lab Subject I was intrigued to know more about different material reactions and the controlled environment of each reaction to produce a specific outcome. This led me to comprehend safety and organized work space in laboratories, also curiosity has grown on me to learn more. For this reason, the program structure suits me because it focuses more in research and laboratory experiments, also because of the qualities obtained from my previous experience I will be able to adapt quickly in the program.

My main objective for being a part of this program is to grow academically, mentally and spiritually. It will enhance my understanding of other European cultures and their diverse communities, networking with people from all over the world and learn from their experience, by overlooking cultural boundaries, also making friendships for a lifetime. Furthermore, I will learn more about chemical, mechanical and physical properties of materials, also developing my research skills and methodology. In addition, with expert's supervision and the available resources I will obtain clearer vision of how to impact construction industry and to implement it.

I am a hard worker, consistently challenging myself to explore my capabilities and endurance, and I have repeatedly proven that I am able to achieve anything I set my mind to. I enjoy exploring new things and I sole challenging academic problems wisely, because it stimulates my mind to think outside the box. By being a part of this program I will highlight the state of third world countries and increase the cultural diversity by introducing the colorful Libyan cuisine to others. With my mental capabilities and determination to influence the world, I will be a great addition to the program, and I will share my story to others which will increase the program network so it can reach more candidates worldwide.

What I am aiming for after successfully completing my master's degree in Material Science is to get involved in more advanced researches, and to pursuing my PhD. This program is my ticket for success to influence the world.

Yours Sincerely,

Scholarship / Erasmus Mundus BIM+ Master Motivation letter [3]

A letter describing the motivations and goals of your participation in the Masters course.

"I am seeker of practical knowledge" that is how I define myself, as an Engineer I seek to expand my knowledge in my study field on a professional and academic level. By writing this letter explaining my full potential and my future ambitions to make a difference in Libya and worldwide, because it is my time to demonstrate the extent of my abilities and enhance my knowledge by being a part of the BIM A+ master program.

I considered studying my master degree in University of xxxxx but the courses offered are extremely limited and not interesting, consequently I started to expand my search to study abroad. I have been fortunate to encounter the Erasmus Mundus scholarship program in Advanced Master's in Building Information Modelling, where it is one of the most promising techs in the construction industry around the world.

my country rely on foreigner companies for all of the giant construction project because there is shortage in human resource such as qualified design engineers and managerial professionals. For example, there are several buildings still not finished in University of xxxx for more than 8 years, due to companies evacuated after the events in 2011, also because of the unstable country situation most of the companies did not return to complete their projects. From this point of view, it is crucial for qualified Libyan engineers to satisfy my country demands in the field of construction. I am highly encouraged to be one of those engineers who will elevate my country to the next level.

I have been a Junior Project Manager at xxxx Company and gained skills that made me reinforce my future career goal. Training a number of the staff members ensured me to discover my leadership skills and improve them. Moreover, I gained the ability to adapt to changing criteria in work environment which was stimulating for me, and found desire to work under challenging conditions, from this discovery passion is driving me toward a profession as a Structural Design Engineer, it is the ideal job position for me that stimulates both creative thinking to solve problems of different structures and flexibility to deal with the changing work criteria.

The privilege of receiving this scholarship will advance my future career as Structural Design Engineer using BIM technology because it is offered by leading universities in the field, that will enhance my chances for professional opportunities joining the international construction industry. It is my goal to be an important member of an international leading company like xxxxx or a local company in my country and bridging it with international corporations. I aspire to be the next xxxx xxxxx in the field of Civil Engineering and Construction, designing iconic structures that will be celebrated all over the world. In addition, after obtaining my master degree I look forward to pursue my PhD.

The course structure which combines course work and hands-on learning is what attracted me the most, this practice ensures the information collected will be reinforced by applying it through project-led education. Such courses are not available in my country which is my major reason to pursue it abroad. Furthermore, the ability to study the course work in one university then the dissertation in another, the idea of studying in two different countries is fascinating, this experience will enrich my knowledge on different cultures and nationalities through making acquaintances from all over the world. Besides exposure to other individual's maturity and knowledge, will widen my horizon and drastically reshape how I perceive the world positively. Moreover, I shall have the honor to present my country as best as I can to the world I will be interacting with during the course period.

In conclusion, I would like to add that I am eager to broaden my understanding on Building Information Modelling practices, where this is my opportunity to obtain top class education. Ambition and determination drive me to make the best out of this program to positively impact my country and other nations.
