Statement of Purpose

Name: Amir Moradpoorsardehaie


Candidate for: September 2007
Theory of Learning by Socrates:
Learning is the seeking of truth in matters, and it occurs when after questioning
and interpreting the wisdom and knowledge of others, one comes to recognize their own
ignorance.
We need to know that we do not know.
Academic background:
I did my undergraduate study in Computer science in India. I have overcome
many challenges while pursuing my studies for this course. This course has a huge
volume. Reading, understanding and learning in English for the first time was tough for
me, but once I said to myself: I have roughly 10 months time for each year, this time can
be sufficient to overcome harder thing. So I planned my time and allocated mostly for
study. Finally I succeeded with 71% in the first year and 59.5% in second year. Even now
I have not got my last semester result, I am confident of getting first class with
distinction.
During the three years of my undergraduate studies I interacted with students
from different countries, varied cultural and social backgrounds. Working with these
students on group assignments, presentations, food festivals and other events helped me
to be more tolerant, open minded and energetic. It improved my communication skills as
well. While studying with friends, I would usually prepare in advance, and when
difficulties occurred, I could explain them. I had a friend from Mauritius, who started the
same course in 2001, but unfortunately he failed many years, I helped him in some
courses that I was confident and he passed them. Thats how I could obtain some teaching
skills. In general, I am fond of sports. I am a professional football player, playing as a left
defender, got the prize of best football player at high school.
During this period of graduation I lost a very good friend of mine through an
unpredictable event. This event has affected me emotionally as well as in my studies for
several months. I had a heavy and pressurized responsibility at that time as he was the
only person who was from Iran. My personal characteristics are mostly built during these
3 years, when I became hardworking and logical person.
I know many computer programming languages. They are C (which I started
with), C++, Java, PHP, SQL, PostgreSQL. Among I found a great interest in Java and
PHP. In the final year of bachelor my project was Calendar-Scheduler written in Java
(front end) and SQL (back end). I created a calendar and a reminder, user has a calendar
for 200 years (1900-2100), schedules all his future plans and will be reminded on the
corresponding date with a message and a beep. Now I am learning to develop web pages
using PHP (programming side), Apache web server and MySQL (database side) and
Dreamweaver on designing side.

My family:
My father has a private business. It is about road construction. He has done the
secondary school. My mother is a housewife. She has done till the secondary school too.
They are originally from a small town in northwest of Iran and they immigrated to Tehran
when they were young. My father has been working since he was 20 years old. He is role
model for me. Theyve been nice parents for me, and always supported me for education.
In my opinion, Internet is the next great invention after the wheel. Internet is a
collection of independent computer networks. Using network, information can be
transmitted from one point to another. This information can be anything, and these points
can be anywhere. So no matter of distance using internet, we can fetch necessary
information and send them. Internet has made the world like a small village virtually.
This invent wondered me a lot, ordinary works done using internet today was beyond
imagination before. I learnt theory of this phenomenon and chose my further studies on
this subject. Also, Information Technology has made changes in various fields including
various industries, explorations, trade, media and commerce as well. IT is a fast growing
field. Everyone wants to reduce consumption of time and money. Hence lot depends on
computers. IT has changed global landscape of all business activities. It may be
communication, transportation or marketing or production.
The reason the course has really appealed to me is because the course has a
combination of both practical and theoretical methods of teaching. Studying with a large
and diverse student body will lead to stimulating dialogue and exchange of ideas that I
know will aid my personal development. I want to complete my Msc in Information
Technology/Internet Computing. Also form mass and media, Televisions and Internet I
am quiet confident that I have taken a right decision to pursue my studies in U.K.
Some info about Uni. After going through the course contents, I realized that I
chose the right course, because it contains interesting and very flexible syllabus. I hope
you find me a deserving and creditable student for your esteemed university.
Thanks,
Amir Moradpoorsardehaie
