SOP Sample for MS in Computer Science in the UK - Fresher Profile

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

When I reflect back on my prior academic tenure at this point in my life, I get a distinct feeling that I was racing against the clock.

I used to assume that knowledge was all about grades on report cards when I was a kid. Being a first-place finisher, I always drew attention. But as time went on, I discovered that wasn't the case and realized education is about what you acquire than what you receive. As a result, I began studying in order to learn. I may not have been a first-place finisher since then, but I have always been among the best with a great deal of happiness.

My responses never used to match such replicas in my study environment, where marks were assigned based on tallying answer sheets with old textbook copies. Instead, they symbolize what I've learned and taken away from the subject. As a result, I was never afraid about tests or outcomes. Mathematics is the only topic for which I have been acknowledged. I've always thought of it as a superpower that could save my life. I spent the remainder of my time doing arts and computer games.

I was also involved in extracurricular activities such as dancing, debating, and poetry during this time. For my creative achievements, I received numerous praises and awards. I was persuaded to take MPC for my intermediate because of my strong interest in mathematics. During my second year, I began researching engineering and discovered that the life of a computer science student is quite difficult. I've also heard the word "coding," which I've never wanted to be a part of. Later, I looked for more difficult and challenging streams, and happily, Electrical and Electronics was one among them. Throughout my formative years, which I decided to spend in EEE, and several projects in my core area, I worked hard to obtain the best possible range of success in any goal I pursued, and I achieved an overall success rate of 82 percent. In this regard, it is necessary to mention that I placed first in an intra-college event for making a presentation on "Humanities and Sciences" and participated in other extracurricular activities. I started my first job, like everyone else, and I've always wished to work for [COMPANY]. I was successful, but I was never pleased since I aspired to something greater.

After 6 months, I made the decision to begin coding. Before my interview with [COMPANY], I began learning the fundamentals of coding. After clearing the first two rounds, I faced a difficult final phase in which I was instructed to move a ball in various directions using a physics engine. Fortunately, I overcame the obstacles and was hired as a coding instructor with a one-month window to begin teaching. I would like to say that it was a game changer for me. Finally, on September 15th, I began my first lesson, and I understood that "the real race had just begun."

Learning and teaching were like twins. I've always aspired to be an excellent educator. I even went for further courses to add to my understanding of the topic, and then I started looking for solutions to the three questions behind every concept: Why? How? And When? The thought of preparing myself was the driving force behind my actions. As time went on, I developed new skill sets and even became indispensable in certain core app development, as well as designing games and websites. Then I began experimenting with different coding languages in order to create the same game.

Meanwhile, one thing I noticed was that the computer game I used to play as a kid wasn't as simple as I imagined. The true sense of accomplishment and joy came when I designed the first game I ever played. Then I realized what "Artificial Intelligence" had to do with coding.

This was the specific phase which actually smoothened my transition to computer science and brought me into the midst of a domain which was more challenging as well as rewarding. This is where I started getting the real vibe in learning new technologies. There were numerous options, but I chose to learn something difficult.

[COMPANY] was the workplace where I had a stint of a productive and sharpened my skill sets on getting taught in thirteen technologies in less than two months. It was a meaningful vocation for me because I won a great opportunity to work on the integration of all the technologies clubbed into a single project entitled "Azure Stack" in the job of Hybrid Cloud Engineer over here, having received over 4 stars in all of the technologies. This project helped me to look at the very spectrum of my life with a value-added perspective. As time flew by, I started getting more enamoured with CS and decided to add wings to my overall career aspirations and make big moves. As a result, I decided to pursue a Master's degree in Computer Science or a related field.

As of now, I seek an entry to a respectable academic establishment. When it comes to determining the finest country, the United Kingdom comes out on top since it offers intensive, shorter programmes compared to other countries without losing educational quality. The distinctive knowledge, which I will be adorned with while studying in this reputed University, will be helpful in future years when I will look for professional and personal enrichment. I have been an outstanding performer all throughout my life, and that's exactly what I intend to maintain here as well. This is one place where my inclinations towards computer science meet the perfect validation.
