Graduate / Personal Statement - MSc Offshore Engineering - Newcastle University [2]
To esteemed professors and to the admission department:
Primarily Offshore Engineering MSc matches exactly what I want to study and to carry on in my future profession, indeed I have applied only for this course.
Surely Newcastle University will be really a personal challenge, one challenge among several challenges to face in the future, literally a personal growth.
I have on my shoulders a technical path since my years passed into High School in view of marked scientific skills in Mathematics and Physics. I have obtained a fifth and eighth position out of the 120 best students in my school at Mathematics Olympics for two successive years. I was able to achieve my high school's diploma with a mark of 92 out of 100 (specialization in Mechanics). During summers I was used to work as Draughtsman for an Architect where I have learned about Building Sector (excellent ability in ArchiCAD, CAD modelling). I had a wide path studying before Building Engineering and subsequently Civil Engineering. It has been a non-standard hard path for several reasons, but it has given me strong basic in each its branch; an old-school training typically Italian. Coherently on what has been written problem solving, communication skills, hardworking and co-operation were definitely a must. Therefore whatever my skills will be applied to make the best during my studies at Newcastle University, one of the best universities in the world. Having achieved a Bachelor's Degree in Civil Engineering my aim was/is focused on Structural field and aspects. Surely my favorite subjects during my Bachelor's Degree have been Mechanics of Solids where I got full mark too, Science of Materials, Structural Engineering and Mechanics of Soils. Regarding my further studies a major attention goes surely to Structural Vibrations of Offshore Structures, Steel Offshore Structures, Computation Mechanics & Finite Elements Analysis.
Coupling structural engineering to Hydrodynamics, such as Fluid-Structure interaction and its modelling (Computational Fluid Dynamics), Wave theory, Subsea Systems and Pipelines will give me the best knowledge in Structural engineering. I have had a sturdy training of Hydraulics during my studies, in fact my thesis has been developed on Hydraulics Works.
I think this MSc could project me into heavy industry. Future inclinations after this master's Degree are: seeking surely a position into the biggest Oil&Gas companies (BG Group, Atkins Group, Aker Solutions) working in a dynamics environment with people who are focused getting the best results or otherwise pursuing a PhD qualification, because I like the research too.
In concordance to future prospects, Energy field will be in constant expanding. I want to couple this my passion for Structural Engineering with Renewable Energy and Oil&Gas field. Being also an autodidact I have already read a part of Handbook of Offshore Engineering, and reviewing Fluid Dynamics concepts. Practically the idea of studying Offshore Engineering has born in this way, and now I am awfully fond for it.
Yours Sincerely,
Cucumazzo Vincenzo
Kindly if someone can take a look at my Personal Statement, thanks. Any suggestion is welcome :)
