Planning should be the first stage of your SOP writing process. Careful planning of ideas to be included and the details to be avoided can help you make a clear road map of the way you want your statement of purpose to look like. Writing down all the important experiences of your life on a piece of paper will come in handy when you will start the actual work of writing. This planning process can even help you sort out as there could be many ideas floating in your mind, leaving you confused. At this planning stage, you can decide the chronology in which you want to present your life and your goals. Try to plan better to make it a smooth ride ahead!

Step 2: Start

Getting a good start is certainly the trickiest part of the process. Once you get a right start, then there will be no looking back for you. The best start is the one which can keep the reader glued to your draft. Having a creative start with a pinch of a mystery can be a quite engrossing introduction. Even, directly stating your goals and making your intentions clear in the beginning can be a captivating start, giving an overview to the admission committee about you and your life.

Step 3: Formulate

At this formulation stage, you are required to justify your interest in the program and the university by backing it up with evidence from your life. In short, you can provide a sneak peek into your life, giving the university a fair idea as to what makes you an ideal candidate for the program. The areas to be covered here are:

• Academic Journey: You should mention your academic profile and how your previous studies are related to the course you wish to apply for.

In case, you wish to change the stream, you should clearly explain the reasons for the change in your interests.
• The motivation for the course: This is highly important as the university look for a proper justification for your interest in the course you are applying for. Here, you can include how you got fascinated by the particular program. You can also include the related subjects studied or skills and knowledge added, showing how you strengthened your interest in the program.
• Relevant work experience: Adding the work experience definitely boosts up your chances of admission especially if you are seeking admission for graduate-level courses. You should mention your role in the professional projects along with the knowledge attained and skills acquired during that time.
• Non-academic interests or volunteering: This part of the SOP helps you to present other aspects of your persona. Since Australian Universities focus on holistic learning, demonstrating other skills through your extensive participation in co-curricular activities and volunteering endeavours can give you an edge over other applicants.
• Accomplishments: You should definitely highlight your significant academic and professional achievements as they will help you vouch for your potential and credibility.
• Reason for choosing Australia: Australia is one of the sought after country when it comes to overseas education. However, stating your reasons for preference for Australia helps universities observe your regard for the country and ensure them that you will make the most of this experience.
• Reason for selecting a particular university and your contribution towards it: It is important to customize your SOP as per a particular university. This requires a significant amount of research about the university, its curriculum, infrastructure, faculty and other opportunities. Providing information about what interests you about the university and how are you planning to leverage the opportunity will work in your favour. You should also mention what you will bring to the university and its community, proving your worthiness as a prospective student of the university.

Step 4: Conclude

In this last step, giving a memorable conclusion will help you create a lasting impression on the admission committee. So, use this opportunity to underscore your ambition, determination and motivation, leaving no scope for rejection.

The Conclude Stage requires you to check your work thoroughly by proofreading the statement yourself or taking someone’s help. You might need a few redrafts before you get a statement you are happy with.

My decision to pursue Master’s Program in Business Analytics has emanated from my immense interest in the field of technology and its impact on business management. It amazes me how people use their analytical skills to gauge their past business performance and make business plans for future. This art of understanding business performance and developing new insights using statistical methods and data has inspired me to specialize in Business Analytics by pursuing master’s program at your University. With this degree, I aspire to gain mastery over statistical and analytical tools and decision making.

Right from my high school, business related subjects fascinated me. Even I found myself curious enough to know more about various businessmen and how they led their businesses in well-organized way. Being impressed with their successes, I always wanted to know about their business approaches.

Soon after under graduation, I got an opportunity to enter corporate world and gain practical knowledge in the field of information technology and business information systems.

Thus, I joined part time Computer Applications course as post graduate degree in a reputed institution in my country. During this time, I worked and studied simultaneously. During my entire professional journey, I worked in many multinational companies and gained more than 12 years of experience in ERP Software.

At present, I am working with YYY company as Senior Consultant.

Over the years, my experience in the field of information systems has increased by leaps and bounds as along with official projects, I attended various workshops, seminars and conferences.  However, in order to compete with information technology industry, I wish to upgrade my skills in the field of business analytics by pursuing master’s program. I believe this formal degree will help me to gain a deeper knowledge on improving business performance, creating effective business plans and acquiring more ideas on information systems and latest analytical tools.

After a thorough research and discussion with many people in regard to my higher studies, I found that Australia is the best place to study. Australia’s education system is recognized worldwide and maintains high standards. Learning in such a place will boost my career perspective.  Apart from this, the safe, secure and peaceful environment makes it an ideal study destination for an international student like me. I am eager to experience the diversity in Australia by networking with multi-cultural peer group. I will also get a chance to exchange thoughts and ideas with people from different nationalities and cultural orientations. I am sure, all these experiences will be learning for a lifetime.

I chose your University for my master’s studies as it is among top ranked international universities with ranks third in the state of Victoria and twelfth university in Australia. Being the largest campus in the southern Hemisphere, the university offers many facilities such as library, restaurants, shops, banks and an art gallery. The Melbourne Wildlife Sanctuary is also part of the university. On the campus grounds, there are various sporting and recreation facilities such as indoor stadiums, swimming pool, playing fields, gym and training facilities for football. Apart from all these facilities, what actually attracts me towards the university is its well-structured curriculum which will help me gain insight about latest trends and technologies. I will also get deeper knowledge on how to organize a team, information, business processes and information technology, thereby improving productivity, decision making, problem solving, communicating and coordinating. This specialized learning will further guide me to take important decision in the industry and implement innovative process in my country.

I believe, studying at your University which provides high education standard at an international level will be an added advantage to my credentials. The association with the university will allow me to attain astonishing opportunity to strengthen my career, focus on diversity and multicultural concerns and acquire knowledge in Business Analytics field with global mindset.
