SOP Sample for MS in Computer Science in Canada - Fresh Graduate

Statement of Purpose

Computers and their technology imply a gateway to a wholly distinct world, in which the endowment to generate and innovate is solely in the hands of the user. Technological advancement and computer science have conveyed a close connection in their ability to sustain fresh societal skills. The aberration graph of computer science has taken exponential turns in today's world. At the pace at which computers and their technologies and our aptitude to execute them are expanding, businesses of each area will be obliged to revise their operations. These ever-changing industry dynamics release an overabundance of the ultimatum of computer science expertise. Computer science refers to varied disciplines such as computers, artificial intelligence, algorithms, data science, and computation to process the imperative erudition.

I have breathed up to the standards of possessing an excellent academic record, succeeding from my diligence and devotion. I secured 89.45% in my secondary education in 2013, and I scored 85.69% in my intermediate education in the science stream in 2015. In addition, I have established among the top 1% of state board pupils in my intermediate education. For achieving intelligent grades, I was honoured with a scholarship for higher education by the Government of India valued at Rs 80,000 per year for five years if enrolled in Integrated MSc/MS levels courses in Botany, Zoology, Physics, or Chemistry. I have pursued my bachelor of engineering in computer science and engineering from one of the most prestigious universities named [UNIVERSITY_NAME], with an average GPA of 3.84 in 2019.

During my under graduation, I was anointed with ample projects and an internship to blend in my theoretical learning in the practical environment. I have devised a video-sharing website. The foremost intention of this project was to construct a sovereign platform for uploading videos of college pursuits. Following that, I have worked on a project titled 'Hand gesture recognition.' The chief purpose of this project was to develop a system so that the activities could be accomplished just by utilizing hand gesticulations in a circumstance where corporeal access to the keyboard is inaccessible. Later on, this project was awarded the 'Award for Innovation' in the college's graduation ceremony. Subsequently, I was offered an internship at [COMPANY_NAME], where I have developed a responsive news portal for a company applying HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, PHP, MySQL, and Linux. Moreover, I was awarded the Best Intern Award for my top enforcement throughout the internship.

After under graduation, I was offered a full-time job as a software developer at [COMPANY_NAME]. At [COMPANY_NAME], I worked with a prime client, [COMPANY_NAME], a tax compliance software company based in the USA. I have encountered a critical hurdle while proposing a prototype of the green corridor effect for emergency ambulance services that was further demonstrated to the local government. I was honored with an appreciation letter for this outline. Subsequently, I have served as a Java Developer at [COMPANY_NAME]. Here, I got the privilege to work with a supreme client like [ORGANIZATION_NAME]. [ORGANIZATION_NAME] affords reliable acquaintance about what occurs at sea in real-time to accommodate them implement maritime policies efficiently. These experiences furnished me with an elemental exposure to the computer field in the practical world.

After gaining all these experiences, I realized that computer science and its technology were constant throughout all my experiences. Besides that, India is at an immediate to the mid-stage period of innovation in computer science, which resembles the periphery for exploring the future of the technological world. Thus, I resolved to be a part of this upcoming future. This helped me to find a precise delineation of the field I wanted my profession to be. So, to gain a profound piece of knowledge in this field, I decided to pursue my post-graduation with a course-based master's in the computer science. This program will assist me in acquiring a substantial clutch of computer science. It further benefits me to intensify my individual and professional skills.

This course has all the topics required to obtain supreme exposure to the domain and acquire a sense of the subjects such as programming and data structures, software engineering, operating systems, database management systems, data mining and machine learning. For example, the Software Engineering subject will expose me to various processes used in the Software industry for the development of a software product and also, about testing and maintenance of software products. It would help in understanding the decomposition of the real-time problem into the Analysis, Design, Implementation, Testing, and Maintenance phases. Having a good hold on algorithms, I would be quick to grasp courses based on algorithms which would further allow me to apply important algorithmic design paradigms and methods of analysis to build highly reliable and high performant software.

As it is said that Data is the new oil and is today being captured and analysed at ever-higher rates. Properly exploited, data gives a huge competitive advantage. Subjects like Database Management Systems, Data mining, and Advanced Data Analytics will boost my understanding of data. Furthermore, the choice of some elective subjects will allow me to select the domain-specific subjects. For example, I have a keen interest in learning more about Artificial Intelligence, and subjects like it will definitely be stepping stone towards my learning and applying it in a technical manner. Thus, to take the appropriate step towards my profession and career, I decided to pursue further academic study in the master in the computer science program. After completing this program, I intend to work with some prime technological companies such as [COMPANY_NAME], [COMPANY_NAME], [COMPANY_NAME], [COMPANY_NAME], [COMPANY_NAME], and many more to gain expertise in this field. After gaining the expertise, I desire to work as a Technical Architect where I could oversee and define the design and implementation of IT systems.

Furthermore, I have cultivated numerous certifications such as [COMPANY_NAME] software through [PLATFORM_NAME], Python for data science through [PLATFORM_NAME], Introduction to big data through [PLATFORM_NAME], Web development through [PLATFORM_NAME], and Spring framework through [PLATFORM_NAME]. I was bequeathed with the best performer award for demonstrating the hands-on problem statements and innovative ideas related to IoT at the workshop. I was technical co-head in the Association of Computer Science and Engineering Students Committee at [EVENT_NAME] 2018 and 2019, a technical event organized at my college. I have organized various coding contests and technical seminars at college. I had volunteered in a community organization to create environmental awareness and benefit people with essential requisites when our region was affected by floods.

I had traversed multiple collegiate destinations abroad but couldn't find any matching place where my financial background would afford me. Finally, I have identified Canada as the most beneficial and affordable place for education. The primary reason is it continues to be an assuring hub for aspirants like me, who wish to have the fittest knowledge after spending years in the enterprise. Canada offers a broad scope of specialization for a graduate degree, and a degree from Canada is acknowledged worldwide. Studying in such a stimulating atmosphere will be the next logical step for proceeding towards my endeavours.

While filtering schools and universities, I paid particular attention to the balance between theoretical and applied paradigms embedded in the program. This made [UNIVERSITY_NAME] my most preferable institution for learning. The faculty members are the best in their fields, with years of experience at their disposal. I am fascinated by the thought of immersing myself in the university's learning environment, driven by applied, conceptual, and disciplined approach. Moreover, [UNIVERSITY_NAME] is great place to network and interact with researchers, renowned professors, engineers and students around the globe. This would help me broaden my horizon and knowledge and make me a better professional. The competition to secure admission into the prestigious university will bring together excellent individuals in whose company I shall inculcate critical thinking, innovation, and creativity. Exposure to the various cultures would enhance my adaptability to contribute anywhere in the global family.

I sincerely hope that the admission committee discovers my academic and co-curricular profile well-suited to the course requirements and gives me a chance to be a part of the esteemed university.

Thank you,
