There are many significant reasons to explain why the Master studies in Electrical Engineering at

Tampere University of Technology (TUT) is the ideal program for me to accomplish my research
and career goals. The reasons are combined with my educational background, work experience
and interests. The first and foremost driving force that encouraged me to apply for this program is
its specialization in Smart Grids. This program will facilitate me with knowledge of electrical
power systems, renewable energy and integration of distributed energy resources.
Ever since, I enrolled in Bachelor of Electrical Engineering with specialization in Electronics at
FAST National University of Computer and Emerging Sciences, my ambition has been always to
be a good student and researcher. I always enjoy learning new techniques, problem solving and
simulation of projects. When I was in the fifth semester and studying Data Communication and
Networking course, my teacher gave an assignment to do research and suggest a method for
detection of errors while data transmission. I was the only student of my class, who was able to
propose a method which was novel and more robust than all existing error detection techniques.
Later on, I published a research paper on it.
Luckily, after my first publication, I was highly appreciated and motivated by faculty members of
my department. It encouraged and influenced me to continue further research and work on more
challenging problems. Fortunately, I joined and actively contributed to the NuSyS: National
University Systems and Simulations Group. At the same time, I became a student member of the
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).
During my junior year, I studied Digital Signal Processing and I did various research projects to
actualize and implement the theoretical knowledge into practical research work. Particularly, I
wrote a research article to automatically detect cheating through the whispering of a cheater in the
exam room. It was presented and published in the IEEE Sixth International Conference on
Innovative Computing Technology (INTECH), Dublin, Ireland (2016).
I have acquired insight knowledge of industrial automation system (sensors and actuators) during
my internship at D.G. Khan Cement factory, Pakistan. Fortunately, I have attended various
research conferences and seminars where I listened the technical sessions about smart grids and
electrical power system that also fascinated my interest towards Master studies in Smart Grids.
As a university student, I successfully managed my time between extracurricular duties, study,
research and teaching tssistantship. I finished BS Electrical Engineering with 3rd highest GPA in
the department and was awarded Bronze medal. Moreover, in recognition of my performance, I
am honored with Dean’s certificate of honor six times for excellent academic performance. I am
proud to say that I have set a National Record and also honored with “Outstanding Young
Researcher” award for my research contributions.
After proper exploration and careful examination, I decided to apply at TUT. Its master program
in Electrical Engineering with focus on Smart Grids matches the needs of my career growth and
will allow me to obtain in-depth understanding of fundamental concepts of distribution
automation, transmission system, electric drives and converters. I expect this program to enhance
my present theoretical, practical, research and problem-solving skills and build those capabilities
in me that are vital for success in my domain.
I am all motivated to expand my research area and to conduct latest research under the supervision
of expert professors of TUT. Smart Grids program will provide me opportunities to acquire the
advance technological knowledge that will lay foundation for my future research. On the
completion of this program, I am intending to pursue PhD in the future to have a career in either
academia or as a researcher in industry. I believe this program will be stepping stone for achieving
my ultimate goal.
Overall, I am equipped with industrial work experience, research and educational background to
fulfill the requirements of this program. If given this opportunity, I will be a valuable asset to your
reputed institute. Along with high-quality education, it will also provide me the opportunity to
know Finland’s cultures and meet other people.
TUT academic excellence scholarship can be financing source in this regard. I look forward to
availing this prestigious opportunity.
