Study Plan for Geological engineering

Study Plan for Geological Engineering 

I am ……, born on ... of February; xxx. I have completed my undergraduate program in Applied Geology from the University of .............. I have, after very careful consideration of my abilities, academic background, and career goals decided to pursue my graduate education in MS Geology.

My undying optimism was rewarded when I was worked on Triassic and Jurassic rocks in my final year thesis of BS. I would like to carry out research on Datta Formation of early Jurassic as “Reservoir Characterization of Datta Formation, NW Himalayas, Pakistan” because a comprehensive study is required to elucidate the depositional regime of the Datta Formation in Hazara Basin, Kala Chitta, and the Salt Range. In addition to this, complete reservoir characterization (description of facies association, diagenesis, clay types, distribution and pore geometry, porosity and permeability with the help of all available data), its suitability for shale gas reservoir and geochemical analysis by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and by wet geochemical methods, all these aspects are needed to explore and evaluate the hydrocarbon leads.

Oil and gas play an indispensable role in the development of any country. It was the field of petroleum geology that captured my interest. With a solid background in the knowledge of fieldwork and laboratory analysis I am confident that I will strongly follow and participate in the master courses. My motivation to apply for the MS program is that I feel a curiosity to learn more about Geology and then apply the knowledge to make significant contributions through my research. Obtaining a higher education from this program provides me with the opportunity to enhance my knowledge and increases my ability to contribute to the advancement of scientific research.
China is considered to be the world’s best in the field of Science and Technology. One of the reasons attributed to this status is that there are Universities, which work, in close association with the oil and gas sector giving ample scope for the students to get exposed to the latest trends.
 Thus, factors such as better research facilities, an effective Field-University collaboration, flexible course structure, have made China the most natural choice for me to pursue my graduate studies. I chose China, because (1), as many as million of science and engineering students graduated from Chinese universities, for my higher studies, Pakistan & China share Centuries-old ties, which have steadily grown into a binding bond, between the Peoples of our two Great Nations (3). I am much confident if I am given this opportunity to study in this prime university to enhance my skill sets and to go for the research in this area for future endeavors. The .................. University is one of the largest universities in China. It features a strong, characteristic profile in the fields of Science and Technology. The main educational objective of University is to provide a solid knowledge of the basic science subjects and a high level of expertise in the various fields of specialization, fostering the students' capabilities to transfer research results into economic and technical applications.


I want to serve my country, my people, and to the oppressed and depressed people of the whole world by serving in the field of Geology. I find your university the right place to pursue a degree because of its international standing, excellent overall facilities and its reputation for producing individuals who are ready to take leading positions in the industry and society. My immediate goal is to pursue my Master’s program at your esteemed institution. On successful completion, I would like to continue with my Ph.D. Learning what has already been propounded is one thing. Propounding what posterity will learn is something else. For me, long-term goals are easy to portray. Coming from a rapidly developing nation, I feel that I can utilize the skills, I can acquire during my period of study at your institution to the fullest extent in my home country. My dream is to be a part of the team of your master students and faculty members whom I can learn from and contribute to so that I can be equipped to face the challenges in the future when running along the path that leads to my goals. I would regard my admission not only as a great honor and success but also as an obligation for hard work. It will help me to sharpen my weak areas, strengthen my concepts and practical experience.
