How to Write SOP for MS in Computer Science

Sample SOP for MS in Computer Science with ECE Background

Technology is immensely fascinating and there is no doubt that almost every industry in the world is extremely dependent on the advancements in this field in multiple ways. At the very core of technological development is computer science. This is one of the most interesting domains in the world and with the advanced knowledge of computer science, one can hope to scale great heights in their professional career. The fields of computer science and technology are firmly established as the two pillars upon which the contemporary world is continuing to expand and advance.  

In fact, as a direct consequence of this, businesses across all sectors of the global economy have achieved extraordinary growth. Coding is currently the most widely used language in the world. The fact that computers have made several opportunities that were previously thought to be impossible available to people all over the world is the primary reason why I find this field to be so fascinating. My goals for my postgraduate studies are to satisfy my natural inquisitiveness, increase my knowledge of computer science, and ultimately establish a successful career in this exciting field.

Ever since I was a kid, I have always had a thirst for knowledge and an interest in figuring out how things functioned. I find new information fascinating. My grandfather bought me a desktop computer when I was around 8 years old, and the gift ended up having a significant impact on my life. As I became older, I spent a lot of time online reading about the most recent developments in various technological fields. I spent a lot of time attempting to answer practice problems that required creative coding. 

Early on, my teachers took note of my enthusiasm, and based on their observations, they suggested that I pursue a career in engineering, as they thought that this field would be the most appropriate fit for my interests. I have consistently maintained a high academic proficiency throughout all of my school assessments, and I have frequently ranked first in my class. I graduated from high school in 2017 with 94% marks aggregate. I took some time to prepare for the highly competitive entrance examinations and I am delighted to say that my effort paid off. I secured admission into an excellent program offered by a very reputable college for my undergraduate studies. 

I selected Electronics and Communication Engineering for my undergraduate studies because this is a vast and very interesting domain that allows me to explore different aspects of technology at once rather than solely focusing on coding and computer science. Even though most of the core subjects of the curriculum fascinated me greatly, I was deeply interested in the elective subjects that I was introduced to later on in college. When I learned about the basics of programming and artificial intelligence, I realized that computer science was indeed the right field for me as it held my unwavering attention. 

I actively spend time trying to understand the different aspects of computer science better but the level of knowledge I received was limited because my core subjects were based on electronics and communication. However, because I am very keen on pursuing a career in programming as a software test engineer or developer, I have decided to study further. Through my postgraduate studies, I hope to gather focused knowledge of different aspects of computer science including Computer Programming, Computer Architecture and Organization, Software Engineering, Multi-Device Programming, Artificial Intelligence, Advanced Communication Networks, High-Performance Computing, and Data Mining, etc and so on. 

I have selected your university for my higher education because of the wonderful curriculum presented for this program. Moreover, I am greatly impressed by the level of emphasis on practical knowledge. The program has been carefully designed such that students are equipped with the right level of knowledge to kickstart their professional careers and advance in the same optimally. I shall have the opportunity to exercise my theoretical learnings into practice. From what I observed, there are excellent laboratories available throughout the campus and I simply cannot wait to visit them. 

There are numerous aspects of ABC university that fascinate me including the strategic location of the campus. It is in a very happening part of the city of London and I cannot wait to explore this wonderful location. The UK is one of the best countries in the world when it comes to higher education in almost every discipline. The amount of exposure that I shall receive and the value of the qualification obtained to make the experience worth it. 

I wish to return to India once I am done with the program in the UK. I have plans on exploring my future career as a software test engineer or a software developer. After completing the problem, I will have various opportunities to work with leading international companies. A degree from a western country will enhance my career opportunities in India significantly. After working for some time and gathering enough expertise, I might set up my firm in my hometown. 

I sincerely hope that you consider my application for this seat.
