SOP Sample for MS in Computer Science in USA

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

Name: [NAME] Course Name: MS in Computer Science University Name: [UNIVERSITY]

I learned the most important lessons in life or my studies while doing rather than studying. I have asked myself "why not?" much more than I asked "why?" Thus, with such a curious nature I was sure to discover the intriguing domain of Computer Science one day. I was introduced to CS in high school and quickly learned everything about it. Stopping short of disassembling a PC, I did everything to find out how it works and what role its components play. It was in high school that I really understood the concept of logic and problems. I used to visualize the problems in my mind and this helped me greatly in solving such problems effectively.

Thus I was able to further discover this field throughout my undergraduate studies in Computer Science from [UNIVERSITY]. I have benefited from the course content that has given me complete exposure to the core areas of engineering and achieved distinction scores. Having developed the required skill set I went to work as a Software Engineer at [COMPANY] & [COMPANY]. It is my deepest desire to advance my skills as a Master level Computer Science student, especially with respect to my programming skills. This will help me design and develop advanced products (Software/APPs/Web/Cloud Platforms) and utilize my creative skills with the business acumen I have developed during my professional experience.

I completed some crucial projects in the "Web Design & Development" domain. This helped me gain experience of working on several developmental tools and programming languages at the computer labs. However, I will admit that post completing the graduation studies, I did not find a suitable job immediately. Instead, I had to work on building a project profile and gaining experience of cracking job interviews before I tasted success. Eventually, overcoming my failures, I became an expert in programming and joined my first full-time role as a programmer/software engineer at [COMPANY].

Currently, I am working as a Senior Software Engineer in "[COMPANY]" as a Sales Force Developer, where I was involved in having a discussion with business stakeholders to comprehend the requirements. In this role, I also get to interact with end-users to acknowledge their feedback since Salesforce is a CRM tool. I was responsible for building the application to make sure it is more robust. Using Salesforce data, we use to have some significant changes on UI and predominantly, the back-end code to manipulate the data in proportion to business stakeholders. My insights towards Apex, Lightning Components are extremely high and were well utilized in the various projects I lead in the company. Since then, I have accomplished various certifications such as Salesforce Administrator and Platform Development.

I believe that at this point in my career, a Master's level of education in CS will allow me to become an expert on various domains such as WEB Development. It is a great platform to learn and take my programming skills forward. Also, this will help me discover emerging technologies, applications and trending ideas into domains such as Product development and Software/Web/App development. In addition, the broad range of electives would give me the option of customizing my courses to completely match my career goals.

I have always got flying colours in all my exams whether it's my schooling, engineering or official work. Besides academics and work, I have always contributed to the world either by donating time and knowledge to the needy section of society or by contributing towards NGOs to contribute to society. My studies and life experiences have aroused within me the desire to learn more and contribute to this world, and I seek to do that using my advanced knowledge of Computer and IT technologies. After learning so much in life I always wanted to rise to an occasion and be a major leader in innovative and technology-based problem-solving projects around the world.

The education system in USA is well known across the globe. The universities offer wide ranges of degrees with various concentration. The USA universities has strong holds in field of research as they have the world class equipment and technology. As per my research, they also provide financial aids to the international students. Thus, I have decided to do my masters from USA.

After going through the course contents and research work in the [UNIVERSITY], I have decided to study MS in Computer Science here. I am satisfied with the faculty and the university facilities which are excellent and the environment is highly suitable for education and practical. I found that [UNIVERSITY] would be the best place to excel the knowledge and skills in Computer Science. The blended program with theory and practical approach will provide me hands on exposure. The campus life provides the perfect environment where I can improve my creative skills. I am sure that such a place will bring out the best in me and take my career to new heights.

I believe that with my intellectual ability and skills gain from the degree, I would be able to contribute to this field. Hence, for this lifetime opportunity, I would request the admission team to kindly consider my application and help pursue master degree at your prestigious university.
