STATEMENT OF MOTIVATION: Information Technology

I am applying to study for the masters programme in Information Technology at

the Tampere University of Technology beginning in autumn 2017, with focus on
Communication Systems and Networks. The programme trains students to be
employees, entrepreneurs and engineers in various ICT fields such as wired and
wireless networks, radio systems and networks. Thus upon graduation, the
programme will benefit my country Cameroon and the international community,
as it paves the way for a doctorate degree and many career openings in sectors
such as education, telecommunication, business, engineering, research and
industry.

I am eager to study at the Tampere University of Technology because of its high

academic standards and international reputation, its high level research based
teaching, collaboration with industries and the opportunity to meet people of
various cultures. Furthermore, the programme involves multidisciplinary modules
to broaden career opportunities in industry and education. An additional booster
for me is the possibility to win a scholarship that covers the tuition fee or living
cost.

I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics with an overall Grade Point

Average of 3.09 (77.25%) and a Secondary school Teacher Diploma with major
in Mathematics and minor in Physics. The main courses which have laid a solid
foundation for me include: mathematical analysis, differential geometry,
mathematical probability, introduction to mathematical statistics , differential
equations, general topology, measure theory and integration, analytic geometry,
complex analysis, microteaching, introduction to computer science, basic
information technology, classical mechanics, electricity and electrostatics, A.C
circuits, wave optics, hydrodynamics and thermodynamics. Also, I have been
teaching Advanced level Mathematics with Statistics, Further Mathematics and
Ordinary level Physics from 2011 till date. By taking the masters programme in
Mathematics and statistics, I look forward to expanding my knowledge and skills
in the field through lectures, laboratory research, group presentations or projects,
industrial internships and a thesis.
Over the years, I have developed patience, team spirit, hard work, confidence as
well as good organizational and time management skills. Thus I am convinced
that I can successfully complete my masters degree at your institution in record
time in order to progress in my career goals of teaching in a university and
working hands on in an engineering corporation.
