SOP Sample for MS in Computer Science | Non-CS Background

"Computer Science is the operating system for all innovation" - [NAME].

Right from the early days of my childhood, I had an affinity for computers along with fun tinkering with gadgets. What intrigued me most was how a simple computer or electrical device could process information and perform other tasks far more quickly than a human, even though the human intellect developed the same technologies. The possibilities for study in the field of computer science are evolving every day. Moving forward towards my area of interest, my inclination towards different subjects in computer science included Computer Networks and Software Computing.

Hailing from a family which values education highly has been a constant source of inspiration for me. I had always been encouraged by my teachers to build various kinds of science models. This ignited a spark within me and an inclination towards technology. After completing my school studies, I felt that Engineering would be the perfect area where the fundamental concepts of science and their real time applications could be explored. As a result, I chose Information Technology, because of my keen interest in next generation technology and its ever-changing nature. In my undergraduate program, high academic standards coupled with my participation in major workshops, seminars and subjects like Data Structure, Database Management System, Mobile Computing, Web Services and XML, Computer Network and Operating System further stimulated my interest in the field of Computer Science. I secured a CGPA of 8.06 on a scale of 10.

I completed [COMPANY] certifications online for Hypertext Mark-up Language, Cascading Style Sheet, and Database Management System. I have also attended a Cloud Workshop at [UNIVERSITY], a top institution in India, where I developed an interest in learning about future technologies. I have also participated in an Android workshop where I learned about mobile technologies, which inspired me and led to my career as a Mobile App Developer.

After receiving my bachelor's degree, I was one among the 10 students who were selected in campus interviews for [COMPANY]. During this time, I had an opportunity to explore a lot of practical aspects and was shaped as a Mobile app developer. I believe in the statement "Experience is the Master of Knowledge". Finally, I got an opportunity to prove my technology skills in developing a mobile application individually. [APPLICATION_NAME], or [ACRONYM], is a self-designed prevention and wellness process which is available in Play Store and App Store.

While developing the application, I developed an interest towards project operations and stages which inspired me to work as a project coordinator at [COMPANY]. I meticulously worked on various critical projects which in turn earned highest recognition from various project stakeholders, team members, as well as seniors. I did an outstanding job by bringing up an efficient project coordinating framework which in turn helped project stakeholders to understand project nuances more appropriately. I had the privilege of receiving the championship award for living [COMPANY] values in the year 2020 for demonstrating my skill sets in project activities.

To further leverage my project management expertise, I have joined [COMPANY] and am currently delivering my PMO roles and responsibilities which comprise project related operational activities in the Delivery Excellence team.

My hands-on experience in my areas of interest has acted as a confidence booster to pursue a master's degree in this field. It also gave me the opportunity to work and interact with different people with a positive frame of mind. I have groomed myself as an organized and self-motivated engineer.

I was an active member of the [ORGANIZATION] and delivered various speeches. I have participated in competitions within the [COMPANY] corporate club and won Best Speaker and Best Table Topics awards.

Having acquired a solid foundation in the field of Information Technology through a rigorous undergraduate program, and my professional experience in the networking industry, at this point, I feel that it is the right time to take up post graduate studies and resume embarking on my journey towards my destination by pursuing a master's degree at a further advanced level at your esteemed institution.

Upon completing this program, I aim to work with top-notch companies which provide me with a challenging career. I expect to solve enigmatic problems with ease and be a go-to person for any technical issues. My ultimate goal is to be the person who adapts to technological advancements within no time and has a lucrative future. I want to be happy and peaceful by fulfilling my ambitions of becoming a sound techie and enhancing myself in the process.

My ability to grab information quickly and to process it is what makes me unique from others. I have excellent computational skills and technological knowledge. I have a systematic approach towards work and life; this helps me in problem-solving without any hindrance. I am skilled in analyzing problems and tracing them to their core causes. I was also enrolled in co-scholastic and co-curricular activities during college. This helped me improve relations in a co-working space.

After the completion of my graduate program, I wish to continue serving as a Software Engineer. To summarize, I have obtained an outstanding career so far on a merit basis. Further, I wish to carry out my advanced graduate studies at your esteemed university. I further want to consider this as an opportunity to show my gratitude towards all my professors, people in the industry, and especially my parents who have been the real backbone for shaping my career. I thank you for giving me this opportunity to express myself.

Thanks and regards, [NAME]
