Statement of Purpose

"All your dreams can come true if you have the courage to pursue them." — Walt Disney

This saying is true for me, and I envision each event exceeding my expectations. Any event, by virtue of the experiences it generates, becomes a once-in-a-lifetime memory. As a result, it becomes critical to make the event extraordinary in order to leave a lasting imprint on everyone's mind.

I would like to introduce myself as [NAME] and I have completed my undergraduate in B.Sc. Life Sciences from [COLLEGE_NAME], [UNIVERSITY_NAME]. [UNIVERSITY_NAME] comes under the top universities in India and I am honoured to be a student of such a great university. My journey has been a wonderful, exciting learning experience. I achieved many of the objectives I set for myself, although I did experience some obstacles along the way. My last year has been intriguing, and I can look back on numerous goals, accomplishments, and problems.

Along with being an excellent performer in my undergrad academics, I organised many events and projects wherein I gained wide exposure. While gaining experience and learning new skills on the campus I evolved an interest in introducing new projects/events in the college and accordingly work dedicatedly on the best execution which ultimately made me realise that I am more of a team player and can lead a team at its best. During my college years, I interned with two different organizations namely, [COMPANY_NAME] and [COMPANY_NAME]. Collaboratively, I gained great exposure and more clarity over my area of interest.

Since then, I've been focusing on entering the world of management and deliberately aligning myself with a company that may pave the way for me in this field. Keeping the same in mind, in the year 2019, I joined the [ORGANIZATION_NAME], which is affiliated with [ORGANIZATION_NAME], to sharpen my required skills. I started my journey as a content creator, and within eight months, I was promoted to Vice President. Journey with [ORGANIZATION_NAME] has been really wonderful and it taught me the best of the lessons. Being a sincere member, I received the 'Miss All Rounder' title from the [ORGANIZATION_NAME]. It boosted my confidence and set my journey to becoming an event manager easier.

In November 2020, I started interning at [COMPANY_NAME], an Edutech business, and after four months, I was appreciated by my team manager and was provided with an opportunity to be a full-time employee at the position of Subject Matter Expert. And now it's almost a year since I started working with them.

As a result, I'm applying for the coveted degree, which will equip me with academic and practical expertise to help me achieve my career goal of making every event exceptional a reality.

My interest in your Master's programme in Management stems from a variety of factors. First and foremost, the branch itself provides me with a wide range of possibilities to investigate. It will not only assist me in comprehending the system but will also prepare me for future required exposure.

Apart from that, I prefer this course because it is aligned with my present work and interests. My undergraduate study gave me an opportunity to explore the domains of Management together with the sciences. It provided me with a multi-domain perspective and helped me see the value of management and teamwork in various areas of employment. Foundations of Management, Business Performance & Strategy, Sustainability and Social Responsibility, Innovation Management and Entrepreneurship, and International HRM and Organizational Psychology were among the interdisciplinary courses that encouraged me to explore other related domains.

# Why the UK?

With roots dating back to the 12th and 13th centuries, the United Kingdom (UK) is home to some of the world's oldest institutions and colleges. Education in the United Kingdom has been a model for other countries as a result of its great heritage. The United Kingdom (UK) is a fantastic place to grow professionally and personally. It includes a variety of natural life forms that promote a clean and sanitary environment. Furthermore, the United Kingdom serves as a hub for hosting international events, providing a plethora of opportunities to learn about this profession on a global scale.

Moreover, the academic standards of UK universities are among the highest in the world. The Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) in the United Kingdom evaluates the educational standards of all universities and colleges in the country on a regular basis which not only monitors the performance through audits and subject evaluations but also assists in identifying the finest educational approaches and provides feedback for improvement.

The school system in the United Kingdom is shorter and more intensive than in many other countries. I can work part-time during term time to help pay for my daily living expenses while also pursuing education. The United Kingdom is well connected to major European countries such as France, the Netherlands, and Belgium, with France, the Netherlands, and Belgium being the closest at distances ranging from 300 to 1,000 miles.

I particularly admire how London (UK) attracts students and professionals from all over the world, allowing for excellent networking opportunities. Furthermore, the environment is quite welcoming, so I should have no trouble fitting in.

# Why [UNIVERSITY_NAME]?

The [UNIVERSITY_NAME] facilitates world-class research across all academic schools and departments and has a long history of launching new and innovative multidisciplinary collaborations. It provides an excellent learning atmosphere.

Talking about the major qualities of the campus, your top objective is to provide high-quality, relevant study programmes that allow us to get the most out of our time with you. Furthermore, we will graduate with a more comprehensive set of skills and knowledge, which will be incredibly appealing to the employers.

It is true that you invest in your campuses on a regular basis to guarantee that all students have access to the most up-to-date teaching and research resources. Additionally, the campus provides a comprehensive assistance package of scholarships, bursaries, and studentships to newly qualified postgraduate applicants, with over £10 million in scholarships and studentships awarded in the previous year.

The City of London, Canary Wharf, and the West End are all just a short tube or bus trip away from our distinctive East End location.

Over the past few researches, I realised this among the topmost universities which will help me in developing a practical grasp of important management issues as well as the technical know-how to implement plans on an organisational and corporate level through a combination of lectures, seminars, and guest speakers. Furthermore, I'll gain theoretical and practical skills while also participating in contemporary management debates. Towards the end, I would have a desired, polished skill set along with a strong network which would ultimately help me in having a secure career.

# Why Switch to the Field?

We've all heard the phrase "to err is human." Because no one is perfect, humans are destined to commit several errors throughout their lives. We, nowadays are inundated with knowledge, which is both a blessing and a curse. I call it a boon because, in today's world, we are offered a number of options from which to choose, allowing them to learn more before making a decision.

So, I faced something like this. I have my secondary education and graduation in sciences wherein I learned major scientific phenomenons. But meanwhile, I realised that when it comes to conducting a presentation, planning a group project, or working with a group of people, I perform extraordinarily. I was the one, most preferred by my teachers, to create the record of the classes. Further, when I got into the working professional, there I realised that I am the one conducting fun activities, group discussions and other such events in the office.

Thereafter, I decided to explore my interest and ended up realising that I am more of an extrovert person who likes to manage a team, execute projects, build networks, and lead the team. Since then, I have been working as a Subject Matter Expert. After completing this master's programme, I plan to launch my own educational technology and knowledge management firm. So, I want to learn more about global business and management before launching my dream startup. As a result, this course will help me comprehend business and management from a holistic and international viewpoint, and I feel that, based on my academic and professional credentials, I am the ideal candidate for this programme, which will propel my career to new heights.
