Future Studies at Saudi Electronic University - Personal Statement Example

As an experienced class lecturer, I know that my students tend to go a few steps ahead of me in terms of their computer know-how since they are allowed the freedom to experiment with the technology and see where it goes. For me to ensure that I will always have the upper hand during class lectures, and also be in a better position for tenureship at the university, I need to beef up my educational resume and gain knowledge and information that my students have yet to come across or conceptualize in their minds. It is my duty and responsibility to ensure that I present the most current knowledge and trends in computing and informatics to them in a manner that they can easily absorb. I will admit that I also have a personal reason for wishing to complete a Ph.D., that of becoming a published professor in the future who will leave a definite impact on the research being done in this particular field.

Currently, I am on track in pursuit of my goal of becoming an Assistant Professor at SEU. However, I cannot fully achieve that goal without a Ph.D. degree. I hope to be able to fast-track my career plans after completing this degree and assisting or developing research that will help to shape the future of computing and informatics, particularly in terms of its ability to help shape the future of my country.

As a recipient of a Saudi government scholarship grant, I feel privileged to have the opportunity to pursue my research plans in the field of Human-Computer Interaction. This is a field of computer study that has a tremendous amount of professional growth potential in my country in terms of career advancement. I plan to get in on the ground floor and ride the trend to the top. Becoming one of the most notable experts in this field in my country. It is because of my desire to actively pursue this research that I have chosen to apply for admission to your university.

It is my firm belief that by taking advantage of the student learning opportunities that your university offers, I will be able to return to my country and teach courses at my university at a level far higher than my current abilities. As I share my newly acquired knowledge and information with my students, I will also be able to help other professional researchers in my country develop their expertise in the computer science field. Those intentions will not be hard for me to achieve because of the ample and solid education that I know your university will allow me to benefit from.
