Can anyone please help with my motivation letter?

Hello!I would appreciate an opinion on my motivation letter below..Thank you very much..

I am a graduate Civil and Structural Engineer currently employed in Sudan. I would like to apply for the Postgraduate Scholarship offered by your Organisation in Resource Engineering at University ABC.

My undergraduate program has provided a good background in Design of Drinking Water Supply Systems, Sewerage and Waste Water Treatment, Water Resources Engineering, Irrigation Engineering, Analysis and Design of Timber, Steel and Reinforced Concrete Structures and Traffic Engineering and Management.

Water and Sanitation Engineering is, however, my preferred branch because it forms part of all the other fields of Civil Engineering. Provision of potable drinking water and safe disposal of human waste is an integral part of any society because of the direct and indirect impact on its quality of life. I have gained invaluable experience in this field over the last two years of employment with a Civil Engineering Consultancy which specializes in this field. During this time, I have had an opportunity to travel across Kenya, preparing Feasibility Reports and carrying out Design for Rehabilitation and Augmentation of existing Urban and Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Systems.

I am seriously considering specialization in the field of Water Resource Management mainly because of the inadequacies in water supply and sanitation observed in the field. My country is plagued by water scarcity which is further aggravated by inefficiencies of the water authorities. These result in poor services being rendered to the consumer whose living standard is consequently compromised from the impact of having inadequate or no water supply and or sanitation.

After studying the course contents of the Master of Science Program in Resources Engineering, I believe that my undergraduate foundation will be an advantage because of the similar courses already studied. The contents of this Postgraduate study which include Water Supply Systems, Water Resources and Management, Hydrology, Waste Treatment and Environmental Protection, Highway Engineering and Traffic Planning will further enhance the undergraduate knowledge I have already gained in these fields.

The courses on Data Evaluation and Mapping Techniques, Regional Analysis and Management and Administration of International Projects will sharpen my skills in integration and implementation of these techniques to the betterment of Water Resource Management. In addition, the application and use of Geographic Information Systems has grown immensely due to its versatility hence making it an invaluable tool in engineering management of water catchments and urban water supply and sanitation systems.

I am confident that this Postgraduate program will provide me with the necessary insight in Resource Management from an integrated perspective and equip me in making a valuable contribution to the services my Employer offers to its clientele. Furthermore, my country is already in the process of formulating policies for decentralized management of water resources, and the gained knowledge will help me make a valuable contribution towards this process.

Germany has had a long tradition of excellence in engineering education and in training high-quality engineers. This is evident in the fact that it has more than five million qualified engineers. University of ABC is the institution of my choice because it is one of the top universities in Kenya. With a history exceeding a century, and also being one of the first technical universities in Kenya, I am sure of the excellence it has attained in teaching and research. The MSc Programme it offers is specifically tailored to meet the needs of developing countries, of which Sudan is one. Further to this, my fellow colleagues who I have had an opportunity to work with have spoken very highly of this institution.

Engineering practices are fast evolving, with conservation of existing resources currently being the main focus. It is my desire to make a difference in the wise use of resources and environmental protection. This course offers an interdisciplinary approach in this regard and will help me contribute substantially in the formulation of resource use policies in my country given the limited number of professionals in this field.

Therefore, the combination of the above mentioned factors makes your MSc in Resources Engineering course the natural choice for me at this point in my career. I sincerely hope that my application will be considered.
