SAARLAND University at Saarbrücken, PhD program in Computer Science
“Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas
imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to
evolution- Albert Einstein” is what I find most appealing about knowledge. Keeping
up an inquisitive and explorative attitude, I believe, leads to a constant learning
process. This approach adds to the already immense potential for innovation that
exists in the field of computer science.
As a student, I look to postgraduate study to refine my knowledge and skills in my
areas of interest. I believe it will also serve to give direction to my goal of a career
as a research professional at an academic or commercial, research-oriented
organization. I intend to pursue a PhD degree in order to reach that goal.
In my graduate studies, I have benefited from the breadth of Peshawar University
syllabi content that has given me a comprehensive exposure to the core areas of
Computer Science and a strong conceptual understanding of the same. In these
four years of study, I have strived to maintain an approach of expending
independent effort in all my endeavors. Learning by myself and sharing my
knowledge with others has been most worthwhile, when comprehending a concept.
Over the past three years, as a Lecturer in Iqra University, I have developed an
interest in the area of Cryptography and Network Security . Being a volunteer
student: [anonimizat], I have embedded
Computer Programming in automatic SMS system in my MS thesis. This practice
gave an insight and has leaded me to appreciate the intricacies involved in the field
of Cryptography and Network Security. However, for my PhD degree, I remain open
to other topics as well. (Please see attached Resume’ for the Academic and Co-
curricular distinctions)
The reason for choosing PhD program comes from the fact that in the near future I
would like to get to know more things regarding for example Cryptology,
Information Coding and Theory, Network and Communication Security. I already got
some ideas in my head, but unfortunately until now based on one volunteer course,
I did not have the right knowledge and the right tools for putting them in practice
and that is why I know that PhD would be an excellent starting point for me. Also if
I will get selected for this program I will have the opportunity to learn from the best
and the fact that I will study in an international environment will give me the
privilege to create new relationships with people from different cultures. I am also
aware of the kind of dedication and perseverance I will need to have for achieving

the best results in the field and I believe my background will qualify me for such a
PhD Program.
“The core values of The SAARLAND University at Saarbrücken are learning,
discovery, freedom, leadership, individual opportunity and responsibility”. These
core values of SAARLAND University at Saarbrücken inspired my capabilities of
imagination and I believe that being a part of this prestigious university as a
student, I will not only achieve my career goals but also feel a great honor that the
capabilities of my imagination have been polished in the SAARLAND University at
Saarbrücken. In conclusion, I would like to add that the essence of University
education lies in the synergetic relationship between the student and his
department. I feel that postgraduate study at your University will be the most
logical extension of my academic pursuits and a major step towards achieving my
objectives. I would be grateful to you if I’m accorded the opportunity to pursue my
graduate studies with financial assistance at your institution and am able to justify
your faith in me.
Sincerely
Murad Khan
