Prof. Dr. Kareem Al-Haddad Associate Professor Department of Computer Science University of Amman Amman, Jordan k.alhaddad@example.edu.jo 10 April 2014 Admissions Committee PhD Programme in Cyber Security Subject: Recommendation letter for Mr. Mohammed Ali Dear Members of the Admissions Committee, I am pleased to write this recommendation letter for Mr. Mohammed Ali, who is applying to your PhD Programme in Cyber Security. I know Mr. Mohammed Ali from his studies in Software Engineering, where I had the opportunity to observe him as one of the students in our academic programme. During this period, he attended several courses related to computing, software development, and information systems. His academic record shows that he completed the required curriculum and obtained his degree successfully. Mr. Mohammed has shown interest in technology and in the general field of computer science. He was a respectful student and behaved properly in the university environment. He attended classes and participated in the programme according to the normal expectations of our department. His background includes programming, software engineering, databases, computer networks, and other subjects that can be relevant for further study in Cyber Security. The Software Engineering programme also included broader educational components, including courses connected to Islamic studies, ethics, communication, and social responsibility. These courses helped students understand the importance of moral conduct and responsibility in professional life. Mr. Mohammed completed these requirements, which may support his future development as a responsible researcher and professional. Although I did not supervise Mr. Mohammed’s final project directly, I understand that he completed it as part of the programme requirements. Based on my general knowledge of his academic path, I believe he has the discipline necessary to continue studying at a higher level. He is polite, serious, and able to follow academic instructions. For a PhD in Cyber Security, Mr. Mohammed may benefit from structured supervision and a clear research plan. His previous education gives him a general basis in software and computing, and with sufficient guidance he should be able to improve his research abilities. I believe he can contribute positively in an academic environment where expectations are clearly defined. In conclusion, I recommend Mr. Mohammed Ali for consideration for your PhD Programme in Cyber Security. I wish him success in his future academic work. Sincerely, Prof. Dr. Kareem Al-Haddad Associate Professor Department of Computer Science University of Amman Amman, Jordan
