SOP Sample for MS Software Engineering in the UK

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

Coming from a family of all business-oriented people, I have closely seen the pros and cons of owning a business. Though there are numerous profits involved in the business background, there are horrendous struggles and losses, which I would rather like to drift away from. Hence, I decided not to delve into the depth of a business field and explore the corporate world, which has been my goal right from the moment I commenced my undergraduate program in engineering.

Being an individual who always liked learning multiple options, I wanted to get into a sector that would engulf me with varied knowledge. After completing my 12th grade, I chose to opt for a Bachelor's of Engineering in Electrical and Electronics. It would provide me with two major prospects like Software or Electrical, both being my domains of interest. I secured admission at [UNIVERSITY_NAME], [CITY], and the will to study more has never stopped since then. During my undergraduate program, I learned several subjects that prepared me in the right manner. However, it was the Switching Theory Logic Design subject that intrigued me the most. Though it is completely irrelevant with Software or Electrical, I enjoyed studying it as it involved complete logic studies. I also wrote an under-graduation thesis on "A hybrid fuzzy pi-based improved IUPQC controller to supply extra grid voltage regulation as a STATCOM."

After completing my under-graduation, I started working with [COMPANY_NAME] as a Programmer Analyst. The switch from an electrical background to a Software sector was a thriving period for me. However, I chose not to let loose of this opportunity and decided to step into this job. Working with [COMPANY_NAME] prepared me for the best, and having worked in this domain for more than three years now, I have gained enormous experience. My initial working period with [COMPANY_NAME] was a rough patch as it took time for me to settle well, but soon, I developed expertise and started handling projects and tasks. My seniors and managers well appreciate my current role in the company. While working here, I have understood the broader world of the technology sector. My knowledge in the I.T. field has boosted, which attracted me to gain advanced knowledge in this domain.

Having been accustomed to the technical world for so long, I now want to resume my academic career and develop my knowledge around the world of Software Development. To pursue this dream, I decided to move overseas, considering their expertise in this domain. As I am already familiar with many things in the field of Software, I still wish to upskill myself by learning a new technical background. My bachelor's and professional involvement with [COMPANY_NAME] have shaped me to take up tasks and finish them off before the said deadline. Working on multiple projects at the company, I have already learned leadership, management, and teamwork qualities.

I am confident that pursuing this master's degree will provide me a route to a better career. My only goal presently is to excel at your university and enhance my knowledge. Talking about ten years down the lane, I wish to see myself working at a reputed company where I can finely maintain a work-life balance and keep sharing, shaping, and bridging my knowledge to the best of my abilities.

As I aimed to study in the best student environment, I did not doubt selecting the U.K. as my country for a master's program. It is the most preferred student destination globally, so I decided to explore this culture. The U.K. is also my preferred destination as there are humungous opportunities to learn, not only academically but also personally, by exploring the whole of the English culture. The vast travel opportunities are something I am highly excited about, apart from indulging in this master's program.

Studying at [UNIVERSITY_NAME] will prepare me for the best in the Software Development sector. I am attracted to the excellent curriculum offered here, as it suffices all the subjects that I look forward to learning. My will to develop in the Software background will be highly bolstered through this master's program at [UNIVERSITY_NAME]. The endless opportunities for students available here will provide me with extensive information and knowledge, which I am keen on availing myself of. Through this master's program, I am sure that I can be extremely well accustomed to the English professional and academic culture and can implement that knowledge ahead in my career.

Resuming my academic journey after 2018 seems like a bold choice, and I am confident that I excel in this sector. Considering my enthusiasm to learn more, I look forward to joining the international group of students at [UNIVERSITY_NAME] and attain a strong grip of their culture by taking part in student groups and clubs of the university. I am excited to start my career with [UNIVERSITY_NAME] in the Software Development domain and present the best of my abilities.
