Letter
of Motivation

Respected
Sir/Madam,

I am very glad to apply
for Master’s study in Civil Engineering. I am from Pakistan and I graduated
from University College of Engineering
and Technology Bahauddin Zakariya, Multan, Pakistan one of the top-ranked universities in the country, in
Civil Engineering with a Bachelor of Science degree program. After my
graduation, I have worked as an Assistant Structure Engineer in a private
sector for one and half year, later I joined Nicon Group of Colleges one of the
well-known colleges of Pakistan in Science and Technology where I am working as
a lecturer for BTEC Higher National in Construction and Built Environment,
Design of Structure with Autodesk Revit and Project Management.

My decision to major in
Civil Engineering is a direct result of my desire to contribute to the
development of state-of-the-art infrastructure in my country, aiming towards
improving its global standing. Foundation of this lies in my childhood when I watched
the documentary of world’s megatall skyscraper Burj Khalifa that structure fascinated me a lot and also triggered
curiosity in me how this high rise building can support such massive load? After
that, when I saw the structures like Empire
State Building and Golden Gate
Bridge, those also captured my attentions. Thus as far as my career was
concerned I had already decided to opt civil engineering for its versatility in
infrastructures.

. During graduation the
field which inspired me the most was structural engineering as it was
facilitating me with the answers for my curiosity about mega structures and
this inspiration triggered me to achieve high grades in all structure core
subjects. Especially the topics regarding Steel
Structures, Prestressed Concrete
Structures and Geotechnical & Foundation Engineering with their extreme
research potential was at the top of my list as all high rise buildings need a
strong structural design along with a strong foundation design to safely
support the loads and to transfer them to the soil underneath. In Pakistan,
where there is several kind of conditions like high temperatures, freezing conditions,
humidity, low bearing capacity of soil, maximum chances of erosion and low
wealth, Structural Engineering is one of those rapidly evolving field which
best suits the requirements for country infrastructure development. My interest
in structural engineering and the practical implementation of this field forced
me to work as an intern at some mega projects currently running in Pakistan
like “China–Pakistan Economic Corridor”
which exposed me to visualize modern design methods and contemporary construction
techniques at site

At some point of my professional
career, I realized that my undergraduate education had provided me with what is
only a glimpse of this field and there is so much more waiting to be explored
and created in this industry but due to my financial position, I was unable to
pursue
my studies in my country or abroad. Since, I heard about the announcement of
your Scholarship Programme and with careful perusal of the web page, I am
convinced that my academic career can receive the much-required exposure and
enhancement enabling me to pursue extensive research and excel at it through
your programme.

As of my high interest
in structures I want to study at Budapest
University of Technology and Economics in MSc Structural Engineering or at Széchenyi István University in
MSc Infrastructural Engineering. I have opted these Universities because of
the high ranking, distinguished faculty,
fully equipped laboratories and high reputation in the world. They will provide
me understandable platform. I am wishing to get expertise in this field. I will
take part in field work and laboratory activities that provide me with hands-on
skills on analyzing complicated structures and solving their problems using suitable
techniques. I will do my level best to excel in the department. My utmost goal
is to become a valuable and renowned researcher in the field of Structural
Engineering

I look forward to your
positive response. Thanking you in anticipation.

Yours sincerely,

Muhammad Imran Waris
