Short SOP for Australia


 

     Statement of Purpose

I am glad to introduce myself as XXXXX. I am a Nepali Citizen (Passport No: XXXXX) from XXXXX. I am interested to upgrade my existing qualification into an undergraduate degree and through this Statement of Purpose, I express a strong desire to study Bachelor of Business major in Accounting (CRICOS Course Code 0101271) and also have tried to point out other basic reasons for choosing Canterbury Institute of Management, Mclaren Street, North Sydney NSW 2060; including course details and career scope.


I have completed my SEE from XXXXXl as well as Intermediate Level from same School. I undertook Management Stream in my high school. I joined Foundation of XXXXX to study Accounting Package from 2021 Dec 5 to 2022 Mar 11. After that, I studied IELTS for a couple of months and I appeared the IELTS examination on 9th April, 2022 in which I scored 6 overall. (L: 7.0, R: 5.5, W: 5.5, S: 6.0).

The undergraduate educational system in Nepal has been normalized under four different fields i.e., Science, Management, Humanities and Hospitality management. The heart of the country, Kathmandu enlists a range of institutions providing the education in the Accounting and Business field. I found comparatively larger number of institutions providing me the undergraduate course like: Kathford International College, Kathmandu Model College, DAV College, Everest College, etc. Despite of the fact that the availability in the course is frequenting in Nepal, our educational system, in my opinion is yet to match the global standards. The main reason why I confidently point the fact is because of the traditional approaches the teachers and institutes use till date. Accounting generally takes four years in Nepal whereas it takes 3 years for completion overseas, which saves a year from my learning period that I can invest in my professional career. There will be no assignments, no debates, no training, no group discussion, no field visit, and no internship and job placements. The learning is more theoretical rather than enlightening the practical aspect.

Therefore, considering my future that’s in line, I concluded to travel overseas to be titled with the best educational degree fully laden with professional working experience. Choosing to study overseas was one part of the decision but the problem that came along was to decide where to study as a lot of destinations welcomes international students as of now. For non- native English-speaking countries like Germany, France and Japan, we are required to surpass the language requirement such that we need to first study the language from basic level. Here UK and USA require high maintenance for living as well as for tuition fees. The undergraduate course in Business is offered by both the study destination through the universities such as University of East London provides BSc (Hons) Business Management, Coventry University provides the International Business Management BA (Hons), University of Findlay, Carroll University, University of Redlands, Campbellsville University provides the course of BS in General Business, etc all of these courses has the eligibility requirements of IELTS overall band 6.0 with the annual tuition fees of 13,740$ to 15,100$ which is equivalent to AUD 23,993.13 to AUD 26,368.

The fact that I will have to expense the amount just for the tuition fees excluding the living costs is disappointing. On the other hand, the same amount if invested in Australia can cover the tuition fees as well as the living costs for a whole year. Other than this, I managed to choose my study destination being based upon the factors like safety, affordability, future prospects, lifestyle and exposure, weather, language accessibility, practicality and modern technologies.

On the other hand, as both a country and a continent, I would personally commend Australia on its every decision. Australia’s decisions from giving a safe and secure environment for incoming international students to scholarship schemes and introducing ESOS acts and TPS in consideration for the international students . Also, the decision to close the border and ensure the safety of its resident’s and student’s health was more than enough reason for me to entrust Australia with my future. Education wise, Australian institutions offer a wide variety of world-ranked and internationally recognized qualifications, a feat Australia offers an educational experience that makes a real difference. I found Australia a lively, vibrant country with energetic, friendly people. Multicultural Australia is English-speaking and a safe and friendly society in which students can learn and travel freely. It is a multi-cultural, friendly, harmonious society which values the wealth of cultural diversity.

My career plans

Tech, manufacturing, fashion, entertainment — no matter what the field, and no matter how big (or small) the company, all businesses have one thing in common. They all need accounting pros. Whether I will be bookkeeping for a small business, working for a large accounting firm, or developing a financial strategy for a major corporation, accounting programs can open the door to a huge variety of exciting career paths. With the completion of my bachelor’s degree, Australian government legally provide PSW (Post Study Work) visa which I will certainly utilize to sharpen my professional skills for finding good exposure in homeland. An Australian qualification is highly reputed in my country so after the successful completion of the intended course I will return back to my motherland and utilize the knowledge and skills to in the related field.

REASONS TO RETURN HOME COUNTRY, NEPAL: -

Being raised in the nuclear family lovingly by my elders, they have gone against the stereotypical societal norms and have always encouraged me to go for what I desire. I have seen my father dedicate his all life to his work and raising his standard of living and he has instilled same quality of his into me. I, eventually wish to provide any kind of aid to the general public of Nepal as per my potential.

Through my experience in Australia, I would be able to distinguish and pinpoint on what methods were we going wrong on and what should be done to nurture the economy and overall development of the country. In this respect, my sole reason of travelling to Australia is gaining the best practical knowledge that can be implemented toward the growth driver in Nepal.

In Nepalese society, there are great cultural value and I have emotional attachment to my family. We have strong family values and bonding which does not allow me to stay away from my parents particularly when they are growing old. I have always been supported by my parents financially and emotionally throughout the life. Therefore, I have a good opportunity in my chosen career back in Nepal. My dream and career goals will only be fulfilled after coming back to Nepal. The responsibilities and bonding towards my family, relatives, friends and my country will compel me to return back to Nepal.
