Statement of Purpose Ghent University Top-up Grants

I am Luis Salas, I have got a degree in Engineering Physics. I write you with the intention to
be awarded a Top-up Grant. For me it will be a great pleasure to be enrolled In the
Master Program in Engineering Physics at Ghent University. Let me explain you why this
career is like a dream for me.

During my years at High School I always asked my teachers how human beings can use
natural sciences to develop new technology. Later, at University I decided to study
Engineering Physics as my principal aim was to understand the natural sciences and apply
it to solve complex problems. I am convinced that technological innovations require of
complex and elaborated ideas. Currently, I want to get my dreams achieved. I hope to
study this MSc program because it explores the deep knowledge of our planet and the
Physical sciences as well. This Postgraduate program will teach me how to apply my
understanding in developing new methods in Engineering.

Nowadays, Colombia does not have educational programs at this top level. I need to move
overseas in order to contribute and learn substantially in this area. Upon receiving my
Master degree at your University, I see myself working in big companies such as: NASA,
Nuclear Power Plants, Research institutes, a government institute etc. All this working
experience in the future would allow me to be ready to start my PhD.

Please, give me the opportunity to be with you. With this Scholarship I will be able to
study with you. Living in Belgium will push me in a top academic level. It is my belief that
this wonderful country has a great atmosphere to perform science and technology for
cutting-edge innovations. I promise you, I will be a great student and I will contribute with
my ideas, enthusiasm and constancy to develop new thins for the people around the
world.

Sincerely yours,

February 2019, Colombia
