3. Highlight your future goals
Write about your future goals in a brief and concise manner. Use professional language but sound excited about your aspirations. Explain how the programme or job you're applying for will help you reach those goals. It must reflect that you have a clear vision for your career and that the opportunity will help you take the next step in your journey.
4. Avoid unnecessary details
Keep your SOP focused on the important details. Avoid sharing personal stories that don’t add any value to your application. If you are fond of travelling don’t write “I like to travel,” instead write something like “This international programme will give me opportunity to explore and broaden my horizon.” Stick to what matters the most, your academic achievements, experiences, goals, and how the programme will help you.
5. Keep it concise
Keeping it concise and following the SOP guidelines are two most important factors. The admissions committees often read many SOPs, so you must cover all the essential points in simpler words and shorter sentences. Don’t go beyond two pages. Avoid long, unnecessary paragraphs and make sure every sentence highlights your willingness to join the programme.
