Admission Essay

As long as I remember myself, I was interested in the way things around me worked. When I was a little child (as somebody once told me, because I don’t remember it myself), I was constantly taking apart toys and other things I was able to lay my hands on. When I was asked what I did it for, I answered: “To know how to repair them when they break”. Although I am not very sure about the reality of this occasion, I tried to make this idea the principle of my life.

When at school, I participated in all activities, clubs and societies that had anything to do with engineering, computer sciences and electronics. By the end of my school years, I understood that it was electronic engineering and communications that were my greatest passion. Electronic communications is the field of science that has completely changed our lives in a period of time less than several decades, creating the picture of the world that is completely different from what we have been used to for millennia. And I am very eager to take part in this changing.

In my undergraduate years I studied electronic engineering, linear electronics and communication systems, which further narrowed the fields of study I was going to pursue. The next steps I am going to take are Master’s degree in electrical engineering with a PhD in the same field in a more distant future. I consider this scholarship to be a very good possibility for me to find use for the knowledge I have already acquired and further develop skills and abilities I managed to accumulate so far, while, of course, studying new things under the direction of highly experienced specialists.

The sphere of knowledge that interests me most at the moment and the possible direction of my research is coding theory in electronic communications, and I’ve heard that the New Hampshire University has a very promising research on this topic going on at the time being. I am sure that there is no better place to continue education in the field I have chosen, and...
