Dear Sir/Madam

I am writing this letter to express my interest in applying for the M.Sc. program of “Information and
Communication Engineering “at the Technical University of Darmstadt. I appreciate this opportunity to
provide further information in support of my admission procedure and I strongly believe that my
educational background and deep concern in this field of study make me a very good candidate for this
program.

My passion towards Technology has started since my childhood. I was fond of any electronic devices. I
used to think how Computers work and to ask myself how a piece of metal communicate, i.e. Mobile
Phones. So, in high school, I chose mathematics and physics as my majors. Then, I admitted to the
University of Assuit in Egypt to get my Bachelor’s degree in "Communication & Electronics Engineering".
There, I studied various subjects related to Digital Communication and Computers but what grasped my
interest were Information Technology and Networking so that I have decided to pursue a career in the
field of IT and to be an IT Expert.

Currently, I’m working as Network Engineer at Orange Company. My key responsibilities include
troubleshooting Network’s incidents and solving customer’s technical problems. Working at such a
challenging position has founded my technical knowledge in the field of IT and has significantly
improved my communication skills. During these two years, I have been part of several technical
projects within the team which has improved my abilities of time and team management. Also, I have
participated in some inter-team projects which have provided me with invaluable experience in
interacting with people from different departments with diverse educational and social backgrounds.

Now, after this period of practical experience, I believe that Bachelor degree is not enough in today's
competitive world and further education is very important. The communication industry worldwide is
developing at a very rapid pace so I believe that a specialized international degree would enable me to
keep up with latest global developments in this field.

Deciding the subject wasn’t the hardest part, it was choosing the country. Of course, Germany, which is
one of the most popular destinations for international students, was on top of my list because I believe I
can adapt easily in such a decent community where people of all cultures and nationalities can accord
together. Also, German universities provide their students with superb conditions for studying and for
research in addition to outstanding technical facilities. Finally, I believe a Master degree in Germany will
open opportunities for me not only in Germany but all over the world because German degrees are well-
known internationally.

I have chosen the Automation and IT program at TH Köln in particular because it has different areas of
knowledge and various modules that match my academic objectives especially, Industrial
Communications and IT Security modules. I believe that these modules can broaden my theoretical and
practical knowledge and can improve my opportunities in the job market. The existence of case studies
is a strong factor in making my decision because it simulates real life experience and combines theories
and practical training together. Also, the reputation the institute has in the industry and its strong
relations with companies.

I strongly believe that my previous education and professional experience will be very helpful while
studying in this program. Also, I am confident that the ICE program will help me taking a giant step
towards achieving my professional goals. Therefore I would be honored if you decide to accept my
candidateship for this graduate program.

Thank you for your consideration.`
