The decision of choosing one’s postgraduate studies is at a very crucial juncture in one’s life.
In the following paragraphs, after a detailed introduction of my family and academic
background, I will illustrate how and why I got particularly interested in studying at
Brandenburgische Technische Universität Cottbus-Senftenberg.
My undergraduate studies proved highly instructive and inspiring. Most importantly, the
classes and laboratories I participated in helped to solidify my determination to devote my
long-term career to this area. Internship in Steel Mills of Pakistan added fuel to the fire.
There, I learnt a lot of experience by observing the process practically. Furthermore, I
developed leadership qualities for achieving goals and targets in time. Currently I am
working as a Trainee Engineer at Effluent Treatment Plant, Rajby Textiles, Karachi. This
helped me to gain knowledge and understand the various processes that are being carried
out during purifying the unwanted water and again recycling it.
I have searched thoroughly for universities which provide high quality education and
impart pragmatic skills. After passing many universities through a very strict filter, my
search yielded only a handful of universities. The filter included many factors but there were
three on which I had no capacity for compromise. Firstly, the quality of faculty should be
top-notch and most, if not all, members of faculty should have a portfolio full of research
papers and cutting-edge research projects. Secondly, the university should have an active
body of students who consistently dazzle with their university studies and projects. Thirdly,
any university should have a healthy amount of funds so that it can be less dependent on
outer parties and pursue its research and projects independently. As you can infer, the filter
is already quite tough and many universities fail to pass through it. Despite the
impermeability of my filter, BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg easily squeezed through it. It boasts a
very competent faculty, a vibrant collection of students and more than adequate funds for
academic endeavors. BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg has a rich history and possesses an inspiring
ascent to its current status of quality education. It was initially founded as a construction
engineering college in 1954. After the fall of the berlin wall, it was elevated to the status of a
technical university. In 1994, it was rebranded as Brandenburg Technical University.
Recently the Hochschule Lausitzwas assimilated by the university and it was then renamed
to its current title as ‘Brandenburgische Technische Universität Cottbus-Senftenberg’.
On top of all this, BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg has an impressive curriculum. I have selected
the program as accordance to my interest coupled with my degree, Msc in Environmental
and Resource Management. The program has all essential modules such as Municipal Solid
Waste Management, Methods of Water Resource Management, Waste Water and Sludge
Treatment, Safety and Risk Analysis for Process Plant, Free Surface and Groundwater
Modelling, Strategic Environmental Assessment and Environmenal Impact Assessment, and
many more. I have several reasons for this choice. Firstly, all the subjects that were related to
Environment, in my bachelor’s course, piqued me more than other subjects. This means that
I developed a healthy interest in Environment and Resource Management. Secondly, the
research oriented nature of the program will give me first-hand experience of the German
research circle. The German academic is renowned throughout the world. Its research and
projects are respected everywhere and are credited with many scientific advancements. Such
experience will definitely elevate my engineering portfolio. Thirdly, there has been an
increase in demand of Environmental Engineers in Pakistan owing to shift in the perspective
of the industry. The industry aims to create its own style of products for the market here in
Pakistan. Also, the much trumpeted global level project known as CPEC is also underway in
Pakistan. The project hopes to deliver numerous Water Treatment, Waste Water Treatment,
Environmental Analyst, Risk Assessment, Environment Protection and Management jobs. I
want to capitalize on this opportunity. I will definitely have an edge over other prospective
participants in Pakistan’s industry if I have a competent Masters degree in Environmental
and Resource Management. In short, I have exclusively chosen these programs because of
this institute’s bright future, the sturdiness of its academic degree and the advantages I can
procure from this degree in my home country.
I hope you will find my application worthy and my reasons for applying convincing.
