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.
My Answer
I selected the same course (Operation and Supply chain Management) at three different universities (Bath University, Newcastle University, and University of Liverpool) for the following reasons:
To get effective productivity outcome from people, we should put everyone in his right place that matches with his willing, ambitions, and abilities. That's what I did for myself, I am willing to work in business field at the same time I love the industries, one of the most beautiful moments of my life when I be in factory and watching the flows of producing the product.
Through my working in real life and my Postgraduate studies (Business Administration Diploma and Pre-master of Business Administration) I got useful knowledge about different fields belong to business administration. But the operation field attracted my attention more, after go deeper into this field by studying the Stevenson book of Operation (in pre-master), and online courses (Coursera.org), I found that this field will help me to be completely satisfied because this field combines the business and industry.
So, I have already started to shift my career to operation and supply chain management and I train in supply chain planning at Mid-care (Nivea-Egypt) Company as a first step in my shifting career plan, and I decided to make my dissertation in Operation and Supply Chain Management at Cairo University before I hear about Chevening, and it was one of my dreams to hold my Master's Degree from UK.
That's the most suitable time to me to hold the master's degree in Operation and Supply Chain Management for two main reasons:
- It will qualify and support me in my future career path of supply chain to work as supply chain manager/director (middle term Plan)
- It's a main stepping stone to hold PhD Degree.

@Mahmoud Hussein: I can clearly understand from your essay that you have prompt reasons for choosing those universities. However, here are some feedbacks that I'd like you to take into consideration:
1/ Do get rid of the first paragraph, since in my opinion it is senseless and takes only words counts.
2/ Do synthesize the each university reasons in a smooth concise paragraph, rather than bullet points.
Best of luck :)
