Dear x,
I have always enjoyed studying Maths, Physics and Chemistry, and I wouldlike the opportunity to continue this study. Chemical Engineering appeals to mebecause of the challenges involved in the application of scientific theory topractical, real world problems such as how to deal with nuclear waste. Iparticularly look forward to studying fluid dynamics as I was introduced to thisduring the Engineering Education Scheme (EES). I am aware that in today’s worldchemical engineering has an increasingly important role across a wide range ofindustries from pharmaceuticals to petrochemicals. The broad range of careerpaths, and the opportunity to contribute to society through technologicalinnovation, is for me, one of the main attractions of chemical engineering.
I have applied to take part in the Year In Industry scheme during which Ihope to gain practical experience, as well as greater maturity enabling me to gointo my degree course with improved skills and broader experience. I also hopeto study e-learning courses on project management and presentation skills run bythe IChemE. In Year 12 I took part in the EES, which improved my understandingand skills in team working, time management, and report writing, as well asvisual and oral presentation. Throughout the course of the project the team hadto frequently correspond with mentors in industry and academia and thisexperience has broadened my appreciation of practice and application in a reallife situation. In July I attended a week-long ‘Into Engineering’ seminar run byREACT Engineering. Working in two teams, we were given a design exercise basedupon a typical decommissioning project. I also attended a Headstart course atNewcastle University, which I thoroughly enjoyed. One of the main activities wasto design, manufacture and test a small crane. I found both of these experiencesvery challenging, as we were given only limited time so we had to prioritise ourtasks and carefully plan our work.This year a fellow student and I were awarded£500 by the European Scholarship Prize to fund a visit to Prague to do researchfor our A-level History coursework. I gained an understanding of the city’sculture and history and further developed my independence. During the summer Irepresented my school on a Connexions review of a government white paper on14-19 education. I gained an insight into the government’s proposals and learneda lot about working with different groups of people. Last year I was part of theeditorial team for the school magazine. I wrote a number of articles and I wasresponsible for ensuring that staff contributions were ready for the deadline. Ialso enjoy participating in a range of sports and have represented the school atfootball and cricket, which has further enhanced my team working skills.In myspare time I am working towards my Duke of Edinburgh Gold Award. In September Icompleted a 4-day expedition in the Lake District, which tested my endurance butgave me a great sense of achievement. As part of the award I have been helpingat the local youth café once a week, which I am really enjoying as it gives methe chance to meet new people. I also enjoy reading, particularly books onphysics and Russian history. I am really interested in computers and I amcurrently trying to configure a Linux based file and print server for my homenetwork.
For admission to a university in England you have to fill in a form fromthe Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS). They for a veryreasonable fee provide all applicants to unversities and colleges in the UK witha way to apply to up to 6 universities (or multiple courses at, say 3universities). Part of the form (apart from all the obvious details such as nameand address), is half a page where you are asked to write about yourself, yourinterests and so on. Inevitably you have to make it sound as good as possible,as you're trying to sell yourself to the universities you're applying to...Iapplied to the universities of Aston, Bath, Bristol, Cambridge, Imperial CollegeLondon, and Loughborough. All for an MEng (Master of Engineering degree) inChemical Engineering, except for Bristol where I went for an MEng in ComputerScience, so this is tailored towards those courses. Anyway... Here it is. Idon't guarantee that you won't get bored! ;-). (NB this was written in thesummer of 1999, and is therefore not too current!).Reasons for Course Choice
Since beginning secondary school, I've been very interested in Chemistryand Computing. Besides my normal schoolwork I've read around these two subjects.Because I am also very keen on Mathematics and Physics, I want to pursue adegree course that combines all or most of these. Both of my parents areScience/Engineering graduates and they have taught me some of the qualitiesneeded for a degree course in this field. This has encouraged me to find outabout the opportunities available. Aims
I have applied to several firms for sponsorship while at university andduring a gap year, with the intention of getting Engineering-related workexperience. This would give me valuable experience for the course at university.I hope to obtain a Master of Engineering degree and become employed in researchand development in the oil or food industry. Eventually, I would like to dopostgraduate study, and perhaps even teach Chemistry/Engineering. Interests
I play basketball, tennis, volleyball, and I like kayaking. By far mybiggest sports interest, however, is orienteering. I've won several trophies forAndalusian and league championships, and I've helped to organise regionalorienteering events. I have also designed the database system for my club. Mygreatest interest outside school is computing. I have done a large amount of webdesign. I help maintain the computer systems at my father's workplace; and Ialso do some part time work teaching people on a one-to-one basis how to usetheir computers. I like writing manuals or "notes" on things related tocomputers, and have published an article on web design in a small US computermagazine. I have written papers on the use of data-logging and other equipmentfor my school's science department. This year, I was responsible for laying outmy school's entire yearbook using DTP software. Recently, I was employeddeveloping a web site and training staff for an organisation in London. When Ihave time I play the keyboard, and also do some sound engineering: I used tooperate the mixing desk at my local church, as well as help at my parents'workplace, which is a professional recording studio. I enjoy teaching and havegiven weekly tuition in Maths and English. General Points
I've lived in Spain for 14 years and am fluent in Spanish. In addition, myparents work with North Africans, Middle Easterners, Americans, Spaniards,Britons, and people of other nationalities. I have gained valuable experiencegrowing up with many different cultures around me, and as a result appreciatethe difficulties of cross-cultural communication. I have been part of several"King's Kids", teams which perform music and dance all over Spain. This entailedtravelling away from home for 3 weeks at a time, and having to work with around60 other people. I think that this has made me a fairly rounded person, and Itherefore feel confident about "fitting in" with people from any culture.
Yours sincerely,
