Personal Statement

I have passed my M.Sc. Computer Science degree from University of the Punjab, Lahore-Pakistan. On the whole there were nineteen subjects consisting of seventy-two credit hours. I did course projects during the two years of study individually as well as in a group which created in me self-confidence as well as ability to work in team environment. My final project was Management Information System of a private company. Basically I was interested in developing business applications because I did bachelors in commerce subjects. My knowledge of business and commerce as well as growing importance of computer technology in business and industry incited me to choose computer science as final field of study.

I have still great thirst for more education. My aims are to do a PhD in Computer Science. I know that according to the rules and regulations of Universities of Sweden I have to readmit and complete Masters program first and then apply again for the PhD in Computer Science if I fulfill the rules and regulations of the Swedish Government and its Educational Institutions. So I am applying for the same and I believe that this Masters program would polish my skills more and would enable me to get start PhD accordingly.

Sweden is education friendly country and promoting higher education in every possible manner without discrimination of race, gender and religion. Sweden has one of Europe's most comprehensive quality evaluation systems. The OECD puts Sweden among the world's top investors in education. Investment has helped produce a vibrant, creative and student-centred system, one in which much of the work is left to the student's own initiative. Though often demanding, such a system with its lack of rigid scheduling is also highly stimulating as it encourages students to develop a critical mind and an independent approach - two highly sought attributes in today's knowledge-based employment market. Few of my friends are already studying in Sweden Universities and they admire the high standard of education and their amicable culture. These are the reasons for which I choose Sweden for my higher education.

In Pakistan, while getting a reasonable job any foreign qualified person is always preferred and paid well. Also Pakistan is in a desperate need for foreign qualified persons and their skills for its development. So in future when I'll return back I am sure to get a good position to serve my country.
