SOP Sample for MS in Computer Science | Fresher with Internships

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

[APPLICANT NAME]

The world is constantly dictated and spun forward by the technological advances happening in the field of computer science and technology. Technology has embedded into our lives so profoundly that it is impossible for us to even fathom a day when we cannot use technology. No matter where one looks at, the influences of technology can be seen ostensibly. As I could experience the unique transformations brought about by technology in my own life and observe how the lives of people around me change, I was naturally attracted to the field. This encouraged me to pursue higher education in the same field and I enrolled for computer science engineering. The course was a new pasture for me to learn more about the potential of the field and get profound pragmatic understanding of the future that is being created by technology.

As I learned more about such fields as artificial intelligence, machine learning, robotics, data analytics, blockchain technology, and automation, I realized that building even more skills in the same can help me become an integral part of the industry. It would also help me partake in various endeavours of professionals involved in creating and updating technologies that have the potential to even redefine what it means to be human and augment humans as seen in fictional stories and books. However, I knew that it is imperative for me to expand my skills in the field to become even a smaller cog in the grander machine that is technology. Hence, I chose to endow myself with adequate skill development and academic experiences with MS in Computer Science.

I have always been a keen student who loved to ask questions. This inquisitive nature has encouraged me to amble on unique academic paths that helped me realise that theoretical knowledge without the wisdom to apply the same in real life is worthless. I always tried to imbibe the qualities required to implement my theoretical knowledge in real life. I rendered my services to [COMPANY NAME], [CITY]. Here, I worked as a software intern and my key role was Front end development. I efficiently implemented RAD (Rapid Application Development) model to finish project as early as possible. In this project, we transformed ideas into standard user interface using Material theme by Google, where I did not understand quite a few things at first. I also worked on Angular 8 to create dynamic user interface. Overall, I believe that this internship equipped me with technical skills in Web design and development, Angular 8 and Node JS.

The academic projects that I have done such as "Arduino Controlled Multipurpose War Field Spy Robot for Military Surveillance" and "Automatic Blood Cell Count Using Blob Detection Algorithm" helped me become closer to the pragmatic scope of the field even more. Further, I never shied away from involving myself in various extracurricular activities. The experiences that I had in both participating and leadership capacities over many extracurricular activities helped me develop my communication, leadership, management, problem-solving, and decision-making skills, as well.

The world is moving towards a point where technology will dictate every decision taken by the corporate world on a much grander scale. I realize that there are immense opportunities for professionals like me to become a part of the technological revolution shaping the future. However, my limited exposure and skills in the field pulled me back from realizing these opportunities at the current organization. I realized it is important for me to expand my skill sets and capabilities by undertaking a pragmatic, industry-aligned, and advanced academic program that can introduce me to the deeper technological aspects and potential of computer science with the option to become more proficient in it. As I found MS in Computer Science to be the most suitable option with an exceptional curriculum and a focus on students' growth in the field, I chose to obtain admission for MS in Computer Science.

Having decided to pursue the MS in Computer Science, I looked for various academic destinations where I can pursue the program. As I weighed in the advantages of studying in diverse academic destinations, I found [COUNTRY/REGION] to be the best option for me as it offered high quality education at economic rates. I also understood that the programs obtained from [COUNTRY/REGION] are highly respected and valued by employers from around the world and that it will improve my chances of being hired by respected technology giants in the world. Therefore, I decided to secure admission from a university in [COUNTRY/REGION]. I went on with my escapades to finalize a suitable institute in [COUNTRY/REGION], I found that the [UNIVERSITY NAME] is the best choice for me as it offers impeccable learning opportunities focusing on the holistic growth of the students and preparing them for the challenges of the field in the future. I was impressed by the experiential learning methods adopted by the university to train its students to make them employment ready. As I was convinced that the university has extensive state-of-the-art infrastructure capabilities and experienced faculty to nurture the growth of students like me, I decided to pursue the program from the [UNIVERSITY NAME].

After completing the program I would like to return to my home country and join the ranks of any of the leading technology-driven companies in a suitable role. I wish to leverage my technical exposure and skills in the field for a few years in India before growing in my career to more responsible and management roles where I can lead people and projects. I aspire to work with such leading technology companies as Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Intel, Facebook, and Apple in the long-term, which is my greatest career ambition.

I consider the opportunity to study at your university a privilege that I will always work hard to deserve. I am beyond thrilled to become a part of your academic community that will holistically develop myself as a global technology professional and citizen of the world.

I thank you for the opportunity and I am waiting for your positive response.
