SOP Sample for MS Business in International Business - UK

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

Growing up in a middle-class family, I was never swamped with the numerous silver-spooned facilities. Still, my family ensured that I was always filled with everything I desired, even if it meant working for extra hours or taking an extra mile. Being a son to a businessman, I have grown up seeing my father face difficulties and struggles, but never once did I see him frown or complain in any way. His kind and composed nature eventually became my driving force to step into the business world. Though my initial aim was to become a pilot, the career change drifted my interest, and presently, all I intend is to become a successful businessman one day. I must say my family has been the biggest source of motivation for me. For instance, my parents did not achieve the educational qualification they desired due to financial constraints, and thus, I realized the importance of education to step up in life. Now, with all the facilities and capabilities, I aim to pursue advanced study in business and upskill my knowledge to the greatest level.

During my school years, I aimed to become a pilot, but I also dreamed of becoming a successful businessman one day. Therefore, to move on with the latter, I took up my bachelor's degree in business administration (BBA) from [UNIVERSITY NAME], [CITY], and thoroughly enjoyed learning subjects like Secretarial Practice, Commerce, and Management. In the first year of my bachelor's, I decided to pursue my education in business and learn all about the world of business. As I started with my bachelor's program in 2019, the first year of undergraduate studies was rewarding as I gained tremendous on-campus experience. However, since 2020, my studies have been shifted to virtually, which limited my experience to a certain level. Right from my first year, I joined the college's student council group, wherein I was a core member in organizing and handling events and activities. This inclusion gave me a broad exposure to learning about leadership, organizational behavior, event planning, and management.

To enhance my interest in event management and organization, I started helping my sister in her event management job in my free time, where I handled guest relations. As I have always been an avid business-minded individual, I have been involved in business-related activities for quite some time. Hence, to accelerate my interest, I started a reselling business of sneakers in 2020, where I made an extensive profit and got various opportunities to deal with the right people interested in buying and selling the products. It gives me immense joy to meet new people who are involved in the business field every day and know about their strategies. As pandemic restricted my on-campus knowledge, I decided to step into the business field on my level. In the meantime, I have gained supreme knowledge, but I need to gain in-depth advanced learning in the area.

A master's degree will open up humungous opportunities for me and will provide me a lucrative career. Studying an international business course will give me a global outlook about the business field and help me set up a professional business career. With an MS degree, I can secure my career options and step into the broader business world. My aims resonate with this master's degree. Hence, I believe choosing this plan will be an efficient step for my future. After completing my master's degree, I plan to seek a general management role in a reputed consultant firm where I can gain exposure in business development, marketing, and operations. With the acquired knowledge through this master's course, I aim to increase the company's sales.

After gaining subsequent experience, I dream of seeing myself in a managerial position where I can lead a team of members, take profitable decisions for the company, execute my suggestions, and put forth my ideas. I also aim to start a business someday and take it on to a global level to attain maximum profits. I also wish to offer employment to deserving candidates and make my business chain reach the utmost heights with my own business. To achieve my said dreams, an international business course will be a lucrative option for me.

I would be glad to join your university's hobby groups and share my interests with others. I also wish to continue my charity fondness in the UK.
