Can someone help?

Please provide details of how your proposed program would further your academic and/or professional career. (200 words)

Exploring eco-friendly matters and environmental strategies

Carrying out a program in such an impactful subject will definitely further my academic and professional career. Firstly I will be able to study topics with huge influence on nowadays environmental scenario, by exploring strategies for cleaner production for industries and better environment design.

The discussion on eco-friendly matters involves working with interdisciplinary approaches, in technical and not technical aspects and thus, engaging with people from many specialities and from the most diverse backgrounds and points of view; this is the scenario of a master program at UQ and it creates an environment opportune for professional growth. Additionally, these debates promote the direct contact with innovative projects and technologies, which is a very important practice for me to comprehend and learn how to implement these management solutions and technologies on the projects I will work on in the future.

As a final point, this specialisation opens up entirely new perspectives for my career as an Environmental Engineer and Manager and through it I aim to grow as an esteemed leader within the Academic and Industrial settings; continuously working in collaboration with other professionals towards a more sustainable world, with a multi-skilled international perspective and through the application of cutting-edge solutions for the environment.

Samara, do you in any way have a professional experience you can highlight in this essay. You just have to use it to lay the foundation of your introductory paragraph and be specific about it ( one significant experience is enough). Let the reviewer know how you saw a problem or a gap in your professional career, how obtaining the program will avail you the requisite skills to solve the problem or fill the gap. You have a very limited word count so you have to hit the nail on the head in responding to the prompt. I could not see any professional or academic experience in your current post which make this version of your essay unusable for this purpose. I am afraid you have to redraft the entire write up to reflect a proper response to the prompt. Remember, you are competing with several good candidates for just very few awards so you have to make your essay stand out in order to have a chance. If you were a reviewer, would you think the content of your current essay is convincing enough, with regard to furthering a professional or an academic career, to award someone a scholarship. If your answer is No, then get back to work and produce a more convincing version of response to the prompt.
