LETTER OF MOTIVATION FOR RWTH, AACHEN ADMISSION [8]
I have revised it again. @justivy03 please skim it again.Dear Sirs/Madams,
In June 2016, I am graduating in metallurgy engineering. I am fully prepared and aware of the path I have chosen. My aim is to become a productive person in the field of metallurgical engineering and materials technology. I have education and experience in this field, but it is not enough to achieve my aim. I was relieved and glad when I saw this opportunity of pursuing masters and with this letter I would like to express my strong motivation for this course. I am determined and deeply enthusiastic to join the Master of Science course in Metallurgical Engineering at RWTH Aachen University in October, 2016.
It may seem but there is no exaggeration if I state that metallurgy is in my blood. My grandfather had a small casting business in our town, where he was mentor to the metal manufacturing process. His mentoring intrigued my interest towards metals. What interested me was creation of the valuable resource through the conversion of raw materials into productive useful material with an artistic touch to it. I even used to travel with him to various foundry shops having different processes. Luckily, my chemistry teacher had masters in material science. Hence, day by day I learned the basic concepts of the field on and off the field and decided to make my career in the field of metals.
In addition of having Secondary school certificate with physics, chemistry and maths as main subjects and my passion for metals and keen interest in research field of modern manufacturing processes is the reason for perusing the degree course in metallurgy engineering. In Engineering, I have been able to learn about basic subjects (Electrical, Civil and Mechanical) in the first year and then Extractive Metallurgy, Physical Metallurgy, Metal Manufacturing & Joining Processes, Iron-Steel Making and various other subjects related to Advance Materials in later years. I believe that the opportunities of doing masters will equip me with better and greater knowledge and enable me to resolve challenges with higher efficiency to make this planet a better place to live in.
At university, metallurgy courses captivated my interest the most, not only because the exciting facts, but also because behind each fact lurked the interesting procedures of extracting and refining the metals. I found the topics related to physical metallurgy especially engaging. Here, the complexity of the mechanisms involved presented particularly compelling long procedures and yet some of them are still mysteries. Working in a merchant mill of Tata Steel on thermo-mechanically treated bars related research project thrilled me too as I had always read about the technique but had never had the opportunity to be the part of it myself. Initially I stumbled, because of lack of exact data and right direction. But with persistence I finally mastered the procedure and in the end achieved the best results which led me to publish my research work at international level. Training inferred that the challenges seek solutions and there is a lot which is yet to be discovered and it fascinates me to go further. Knowledge which I have gained during my bachelors is not enough to meet the expectations of this world. As a result, I am working on another project from IPR. And these experiences make me able to blend and work in team easily.
I selected Germany, because I always wanted to pursue my higher education in metallurgy where it originated and currently standing on the top of academia. For me, studying in Germany is like staying in nucleus of a transforming metal during its recrystallization process. If I am getting an opportunity for Mastering in the field of my interest from a country which is the provenance of the science and engineering, I can't take the risk of losing this golden opportunity. Germany in engineering specifically for material science and mechanical engineering has developed a lot with enhanced standard of living, safe and cosy environment with splendid culture and traditions. My professor strongly recommended RWTH Aachen University for further studies. One of my acquaintance is alumni of the university.
The university is reputed as well as famous for metallurgy and computer science courses. This is the 'only' university in Germany which is providing 'Master of Science in Metallurgy', so it's perfect as well as dream match for a metallurgy graduate student like me. I can assure myself that RWTH Aachen University will play a great role in incrementing my theoretical as well practical knowledge for the subjects and can lead me to further great opportunities to excel in innovative technology application and develop universal solutions to real world challenges. After masters, I want to pursue doctorate and want to work in research field of Physical Metallurgy and Materials. As campus has 17% of international students, it will provide me an opportunity to study in multi-cultural environment. That would be an enriching and enlightening experience for me being the part of one of the most reputed research based universities of world.
In other perspective, as a curious history student, I can say that Unified Germany is always the centre of attraction and reformations from ages. Not after unification or from Weimar republic or from German confederation period, it was the non-removable part since pre-historic times. The engineering, museums, music and art ancestry are the emblems of country. Vibrant culture and traditions makes Germany centre of Europe as well as world since aeons. For the preparatory level to live in any country, knowledge of the local language is the most important part to understand the culture and to get familiar with the surrounding environment, so I started to learn Deutsch since last few months and taking exam 'Start Deutsch 1' on 1st April.
I am not the best in world, but with the useful preparatory education & productive training, having fundamental qualities with perseverant nature and strong motivation, I can definitely attest myself and will be great asset for the university. I can certainly prove the worthiness that I am upholding. After Graduating in June, 2016 I am absolutely ready to join in winter semester in October of same year, and have no doubt in seeing myself as the part of RWTH Aachen University. I hope to hear from you in the near future.
