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

Statement of Purpose

The realm of computers and technology has always grabbed my attention since my childhood. Regardless of the size of an organization, technology is essential for smooth operation. I always wanted to know the intricacies of various aspects related to programming and coding. Hence, I was determined that after completion of my graduation, I would enroll for Masters in Computer Science to gain in-depth knowledge in this sphere.

Holding good academic records from my school days, I enrolled for a Diploma in CSE, owing to my inclination towards computer science and cutting-edge technologies. Soon after concluding my diploma in CSE magna cum laude, I acquired a slot in BE CSE (Lateral Entry) at [UNIVERSITY_NAME], [CITY], a well-renowned institute in India. Although my grasp of knowledge can be greatly reflected in my undergraduate mark sheets, I have mastered the core essence of all the subjects dealt including C, Java, Python. This proved imperative as it provided me with core knowledge of fundamentals of computer programming, computer networks, database management systems and coding as well. To further widen my horizons of knowledge and to develop my personality in a holistic manner, I appeared for Graduate Record Examinations and scored pretty well, which amply strengthened my aplomb and clearly reflected my zeal of making continuous advancements in my career.

I strongly believe that various workshops and projects always help in enhancing the skills and knowledge which one has acquired theoretically. I attended workshops on Arduino, Google ML basics, Raspberry Pi, IOT, Android Studio and seminar on Professional development, Ethical Hacking which proved to be fruitful. I created a Patient Health Monitoring using a Mobile Application that can be used in hospitals for the benefit of the patients to keep monitoring their stats. In the final year, I made a project on Automatic Pedestrian Road Crossing using Image Processing which helps in automation of signals from AI. Another project I did was on a Smart Parking System using Image Processing which detects empty spaces and guides users to park over empty space. In [COLLEGE_NAME], [CITY], Tamil Nadu, I designed a project on Voice Control Automation using Raspberry PI which is Voice Control Home Automation.

I was also associated with a startup named [COMPANY_NAME] for an internship in which I was indulged not only in coding but also acting as an active manager engaging with various operations at different levels. This provided me the much-needed experience of working in a highly dynamic environment. After completing my undergraduate degree, I have also joined [COMPANY_NAME] as a Product Specialist and use the CRM tool used by the company to interact with the client to solve their problem. I am absolutely sure of the fact that the acquired knowledge I have gained until now will serve as a solid base to learn Computer Science at a higher platform from your prestigious university.

Apart from academics, I have always been extremely active in undertaking various sports like cricket, football, basketball, volleyball, and chess. These activities provided me with great opportunities to work in a team and grow in a wholesome manner. Along with this, I always participated in competitions related to chess as it helps one to analyze and plan. As a confident individual, I enjoy expressing my views and providing innovative ideas, and I have also delivered multiple speeches during my academic years. It further provided me with an important medium to express myself on stage. I have always played an active part in organizing various workshops and events. This helped me to acquire various skills including working as a team, leadership abilities as well as aiding quick decision making.

I am fairly certain that opting for post-graduation in Computer Science is the next firm step I need to undertake towards achieving my goals. It will help me greatly in acquiring specialization in understanding the various aspects related to computers and technology and also in analyzing data in a comprehensive way. Therefore, exposure to it will surely amalgamate strong integration in creative, critical, and technical proficiency useful in various software applications. In order to accomplish my goals, I should have intricate knowledge of the various tools associated with this arena of knowledge.

After completing masters, I aspire to work with [COMPANY_NAME], [COMPANY_NAME], [COMPANY_NAME] organizations on Software Developer designation where I could utilize all my skills, expertise and experience for the growth of the organization. In the long run, I intend to establish a software firm and create solutions for companies and individuals to take advantage of my coding and management expertise.
