Flirting with electrons has worked wonders. Electronics
engineers havemanipulated these positron antiparticles to
revolutionise fields asdiverse as acoustics, medicine and robotics.
Impressed by thesephenomenal advancements, I am ambitious to join
the wonderful peoplewho relentlessly strive to change our lives for
the better. Electronicsengineering is the most viable option to
realise my dream of adding tothe beauty of life. It is one of the
few fields in which a smalladvancement, such as in fabrication or
integration, can make a bigdifference. I therefore wish to study
electronics engineering with the aimof becoming part of the next
revolution. Its not just aboutrevolutionising the world, but
following my passion, a love for what I dobest, and the benefit it
will bring to me as well as to others. I love to fusemaths with
physics in solving problems of varied nature as it providesme the
opportunity to use two of my favourite subjects simultaneously.
Ibelieve that engineering will provide me lots of opportunities to
continuethis routine. Electricity and Magnetism have remained my
favouritetopics ever since I studied them in the O Levels. My
obsession withelectronics has even encouraged me to try practical
circuitry. Thesesuccessful attempts at assembling circuits like LDR
and Radio receiverhave given me valuable insight into electronics
and confirmed myaptitude for electronics engineering.
I feel that my academics have prepared me amply for a
challengingcourse ahead. Last year the Governor of my province
awarded me aGold Medal for Excellence in Academics. I have
successfully competedin NPTC (a national physics competition
synonymous to BPhO) to rankamong the top 50 students of Pakistan
and with further short listing duein a few months, I am optimistic
of making it to the top five students whowill represent Pakistan in
the 40th International Physics Olympiad. Themost recent
International Kangaroo Mathematics Contest ranked meamong the top
50 students of Pakistan.
MIT OpenCourseWare lectures in Physics are the primary source
toquench my thirst for in-depth knowledge. I usually follow these
lectureswith corresponding assignments and IPhO past questions. I
also enjoybrowsing HowStuffWorks as it helps me to appreciate the
beautifulworld from an engineering perspective. How itsMadeand I
Didnt Know That are myfavourite TV programmes for the same reason.
Last year I participatedin ARSSDC, a space settlement design
competition, where my teamplaced among the Asian finalists. In my
2008 Internship with CAREFoundation, I volunteered as a Teaching
Assistant to grades 9th and10th in Physics, Chemistry, and
Mathematics. It was one of the bestexperiences of my life as I was
teaching and preparing assignments forstudents just one & two
grades junior to me!
I feel honoured to be one of the 431 Supervisors who are

over 1.3 million users on WikiAnswers, the 38th most visited
website onearth. WikiAnswers has given me an opportunity to share
myknowledge globally. Side by side, frequent collaboration with
otherWikiAnswers contributors, mainly to improve an answer, has
given meteamwork skills and introduced me to the beauty of
diversity. Performingwebsite supervision in addition to the regular
academic work has taughtme time management and task
prioritisation.
The most appropriate way to realise my dreams is to enter
researchafter completing my studies at the Doctorate level. Given
this careeraspiration, it is but natural that I select a university
which is at theforefront of research and where students are
encouraged to join theirprofessors for hands-on experience. I have
chosen your universitybecause of its focus on research and the
opportunity it provides toparticipate within a diverse student
body. Although I am applying as aninternational student, my
Indefinite Leave to Remain in UK is due inthree years time and this
is why UK is my primary choice for highereducation.
