Statement Of Purpose (Cyber Security)

Pakistan is still progressing in the field of technology. Our government has implemented
a new plan named PIAIC (Presidential Initiative for Artificial Intelligence and Computing) by
2018 that includes the use of IT for management, administration and governance. So,
the IT sector is flourishing now in our country creating more employment opportunities
for computer engineers and IT specialists. Recently a severe cyber attack was held in
banking sector of Pakistan which cause information as well as monetary loss. Cyber
protection is a real concern and companies spend heavily to ensure the security of their
computer systems.

Masters in Computer Science with a specialization in Cyber Security program will help
to understand in depth knowledge of security and how to protect valuable data from
cyber- attackers.

I have chosen United Kingdom rather than any other countries or my home country
because United Kingdom play significant role in the area of Artificial intelligent and
Cyber Security around the world.

The reason for choosing Manchester Metropolitan University for further my studies is
because universities grades fixer offer a wide variety of courses and very good for
higher studies and some of them at the top of world university rankings especially in
technology sector.

Manchester Metropolitan University is situated in Manchester which is one of the

world’s best student- friendly cities especially for international students Like many
other international students, I would like to study in a country where there is a
multicultural environment and Manchester Metropolitan University is exactly the
place for it.

Manchester Metropolitan University also gives an exchange and overseas

opportunities for international students.

“Go West, young man, and grow up with the country.” - Horace Greeley, founder, and
editor of The New York Tribune.

My overall goal is to get the degree from Manchester Metropolitan University and to use
the experience for technological development in my own country. The education and
experience I will be gaining there will be transferable to my future academic work,
research or a career in an industry.
The value of a European degree in your job sector is very high. Big technology
companies also offer better salaries than local Engineers or IT specialists. With enough
experience, I can even start IT business of my own.

I had a serious Financial crisis in 2017 and had been suffering for the last two years. I
worked as freelancer as well as part time home tutor taught students of various classes.
It is the main reason for my study gap after finishing my graduation in Pakistan.

There is another saddest parts of my life was my father’s cancer disease .His treatment
is still under process .I am still struggling to get back up again and to continue my
education.

So, Master of Computer Science with a specialization in Cyber Security is an essential

program and I would like to study this program. I sincerely believe that Masters at
Manchester Metropolitan University will be a great step in this.
