 Sample Software Engineering Personal Statement


Computers have brought rapid transformation to the world.
The technological growth since the middle of the Twentieth
Century, when computers were highly cumbersome and were
only used by large and wealthy companies, has been huge
and computers are now found in many homes and are in the
hands of a large proportion of the developed world. I am
fascinated by how computer technology has brought changes
to our lives that could never have been predicted; witnessing
the expansion of computer science allowed me to consider
studying software engineering from an early age, and my
enthusiasm has perpetually developed since this time.
 
Pursuing HTML, CSS and Javascript at home and HAVING
successfully creating a website with the aid of Dietel’s C++
How To Program demonstrates my self-motivation in learning
Computer Science at university, and the fundamental skills I
have imputed into this supports my pursuit of studying this
course. The C++ program allowed me to calculate the Area,
Perimeter, and Volumes of different shapes and these
techniques will aid my work during my further studies of
computer technology; I look forward to developing these pre-
existing aptitudes and learning as much as possible during my
time at university.
 
Studying in the Turkey will give me the opportunity to increase
my knowledge of computer science due to the highly regarded
teaching and research resources available there. I also
anticipate discovering more about the culture and sharing my
experiences with my peers; sharing ideas and perspectives
with my university colleagues is an element of university life
that excites me greatly. I would like to absorb as much from
my experience at university as possible so that eventually
building a career in The Turkey, with the skills I have learnt
during my university life, will be as smooth, efficient and
successful as possible.
 
Choosing to undertake a foundation course in Mathematics
and Discrete Mathematics has taught me skills essential to
computer science; algebra and logic have been two elements
of this course that have been hugely interesting and these will
certainly facilitate my further education in computer science. I
would like to continue my study of Mathematics at university
and I will strive to achieve highly in this area.
 
In my spare time I enjoy reading The New Scientist, and this
has allowed me to broaden my knowledge of computer
related technology. Outside of my scientific pastimes, playing
football is a great love of mine. The development of my
interpersonal, teamwork and communications skills have
greatly benefited from sport, and these skills will serve me
well at university. The competences that football have taught
me will help me when undertaking class projects as time
management and team work are absolutely essential for
success and I hope to be an asset to whoever I work with in
these situations. I also look forward to continuing to play
football at university, and to using this as a factor in my social
life whilst in The UK.
 
I have the confidence in my abilities and an enthusiasm for
my chosen subject- I am fully prepared to be a dedicated and
diligent student whilst at university. I have an insatiable
curiosity for my subject that will be valuable when individual
study is demanded of me, and this is an aspect of the course
that particularly enthuses me. I have the ultimate ambition of
becoming a software engineer and hope that with my
qualifications gained at university this will be a goal well within
my reach. Software engineering is a career that whilst the
need for and use of computers in society progresses, the
opportunities in this realm will become ever more exciting and
engaging and I look forward to the time when I can progress
into professional life.
