’. I came from a family of traditional farmers in a remote part of northern Ethiopia, central Tigray, where farming literally means a long day’s hard

work

just to make ends meet. I was one of the lucky ones to attend school at an early age. Fully aware that a better life for my family is resting on my shoulders, I became an outstanding student winning all possible awards while being recognized the

Cyber Security (PICS). The

first

one is my profession. As a highly motivated undergraduate, I have gained a great distinctive result, hands-on knowledge in different cyber security

areas and skills. My undergraduate study was a breakthrough academic achievement of my early childhood dream and professional career where I gained a remarkable theoretical knowledge accompanied

with

experiments, course projects, mini and final projects which build my academic and

research

experience

.

Also

, I developed some of the high-end projects part of my undergraduate

study, including

: Network Administrator tool using

socket programming and Centralized Patient Prescription History using PHP. During these periods I realized that there is enough scope for

research

in Cyber Security. So, I want to make some contributions in the implementation and enhancement towards

this

field in my country. I need to strive more to acquire good skills over it. I believe that your University would be able to help me to enhance more of these skills if I will be given a chance to study there. The courses I took during my undergraduate program in Information Technology (Engineering) and, the researches I have conducted during my academic and as an employee together with the industry

for ambitious Information Technology scientists keep themselves up to date with the latest technologies and to make innovations.

This

fact all

fact, all

together made me decide to

work

on my master’s

research

in

this

hot

area

of Cyber Security. To achieve my goal, I preferred Skövde University primarily as it dedicates itself as a source of new scientific innovations which are globally significant with local relevance.

Secondly

, it provides all-inclusive academic grounding to scientists and engineers, enabling them to involve in joint multidisciplinary understanding and

further

development

of complex and dynamic systems to achieve innovation and economic growth, especially in the emerging and significant

area

of Cyber Security to realize the long-lasting contribution to the society.

Finally

, yet importantly, Sweden provides opportunities for students from many nations around the world, with diverse cultures and ideas that will provide me a wonderful

experience

. Sweden has been always my choice due to many reasons, among which some of them include: a country that was the high quality and world-class educational institutions with hundreds of years of international reputation, multicultural society with all religions and faiths open to new traditions and cultures which is a great opportunity for me as an international student. Sweden has a lot of history to explore, rich in culture, with the English language spoken all over the world.

Besides

, I have attended all my undergraduate studies in English which will be comfortable to do my master’s

research

in Sweden. Thankfully, Sweden is going to fully fund

this

prestigious master’s

research

opportunity. I wish to delve deeper into the subjects to be able to carry out independent

research

and analysis or serve in a

research

institution. My long-term goal is to become an expert in Cyber Security and to aid the

development

of

this

area

internationally and my home country where it is a demanding

area

to

work

on. I believe that the academic and

research

background together with the huge industry

experience

has a solid foundation. Through the world-class

research

and innovation of Skövde University, I am confident that I will develop expertise and boost the quality of my

research

potential. I understand that the admission process into your University is very competitive, but I am

also

confident that I will satisfy all your requirements and I am eager to join and meet all the challenges and learn more in your prestigious University. I would be most grateful if you could give a chance to my application with your most

favorable

encouraging or approving or pleasing

favourable

consideration. Your time and consideration are greatly appreciated. I look forward to talking with you soon. Yirgalem Gidey Gebru
