I am writing to express my interest in applying the SUSCOS master programme. I believe the programme is a perfect fit in an effort to achieve my professional goals to become a global expert in structural engineering.
I believe my academic background, my practical experience and passion in structural engineering will suit the programme well. My undergraduate study in Universitas Indonesia1, has given me initial tools to realize my passion to perform analysis and design for various types of structures. After graduating with predicate “very good” in 2011, I seized the opportunity to put all the theories and applications I learned in university into action by working as a structural engineer. As part of my work, I have designed both steel and reinforced concrete structures such as industrial warehouse, residential housing and retail store. Every task I faced during my work demands myself to continually improve my design quality and makes me aware of the future challenges in my career. These, along with my learning passion in structural engineering, become the driving force for me to conduct master study.
SUSCOS master programme presents itself as a great option for advancing my skills and knowledge in structural engineering. The syllabus will prepare me to address the issue in sustainable construction, which has become growing demands for structural engineer in recent years. On the other hand, it will also deepen my understanding of structural behavior under dynamic loadings (e.g. earthquake, wind, blast) that is essential to support my career in natural disaster vulnerable country like Indonesia. In addition, I am very keen to learn to design the structure from alternative material such as aluminium, glass, stainless steel and timber...

... SUSCOS master programme, I will be equipped me with all necessary aspects in designing sustainable steel structure and gain a good understanding of the Eurocode. It is a comprehensive guideline that I can refer to support my work, specifically related to steel structures.
Following my participation in SUSCOS master programme, I will seek opportunity to stay and work in Europe for a 2 years or so to enrich my practical experience. With the improved skills and practical experiences, I expect I will take more leadership role in large scale projects when I return to Indonesia. My goals are within 10 years, I hope I can establish myself as a highly rated engineer and realize my childhood dream to design monumental structures such as tall buildings, huge stadiums, and long span bridges.
I thank you for considering my application. I look forward to your positive response.
