 1.INTRODUCTION

Glad introduce myself as Ritindeep Kaur daughter of the Tejinder Singh and Sukhjinder Kaur. I was born on 31 December 1999 and was brought up in Patiala also known as The Royal city which is situated in Punjab. I am currently 22 years old and live in a joint family consisting of seven family members. Both of my parents are  entrepreneurs. My father runs a mobile shop and my mother has her own well established boutique business.I have recently completed my graduation in bachelors of arts and planning to pursue my masters degree from a prestigious university situated in Australia.

Well, my parents are very supportive in terms of financing my expenses. I am sponsored by my family. We have a Fixed deposits of INR 24,00,000 in HDFC bank. While studying in Australia for 2 years, all the expenses including, tuition fee, living expenses, accommodation charges and travelling cost would be covered by my parents.  

2.ACADEMIC HISTORY AND ENGLISH PROFICIENCY SCORE

I am charmed to share my educational qualification. I completed my matriculation in March 2016 with 6.2 cgpa under CBSE board and with it I had completed my 12th standard in 2018 with …….  from PSCB board.Just recently I have completed my bachelors of arts with …… under Punjabi University,Patiala. I had three main subjects in my graduation which were Journalism and Mass Communication, Computer Application and English Literature. 

After the completion of my graduation, I appeared for IELTS examination in order to prove my proficiency in English. I scored 7 overall bands, not less than 6 in any module. After doing my research on various courses that I can opt, which is also relevant to my previous study, I came to the decision for going for Masters of Communication. Now, currently I am looking forward to get a study Visa for the same purpose.

3. WHY MASTERS OF COMMUNICATION 

The imperative reason of choosing the proposed program is that my graduation study is in quite similar field and interest generated in bachelors induced me to take up post-graduation in the similar field. Masters of Communication will help me to learn art of expression and communication. It exposes an individual  to several platforms where one can express themselves and there ideologies. Pursuing mass communication allows students to instill individual sentiment, musings, and perspectives over any theme when writing down any occurrence of a social, financial,or political reference to make it more relatable.

The job prospects are endless in this field. With a communication degree one is not just limited to a single job role. Nearly all organisations need people who can write persuasively and argue for their ideas, services and products.Communications professionals can find roles in public relations, startups, entrepreneurs, communication manager, social media advisor, advertising specialist , author and speaker are just a few of the  types of job roles one can go for with a communication degree. It also helps a student to  develop a broad range of analytical and communication skills, which provide the groundwork for numerous career paths in business, education, and public affairs.

Along with this, the 8 credit points in the course is for specialisation which I will choose Public Relations.

PR people are storytellers. They create narratives to advance their agenda.  PR can be used to protect, enhance or build reputations through the social media, or self-produced communications.  By studying PR topics in my specialisation I will be able to improve various skills such as:- being aware of industry trends, trying out different writing styles, setting up goals for personal and professional development, learning about clients focus. 

And despite no matter what, in today’s world, gaining a communication degree is a game changer because whatever organisation or company you are working in or no matter whether you are doing a job or running a business, having the skills that one gains  from a communication degree are very crucial in order to run a successful business.

4.WHY NOT INDIA

There are numerous reasons due to which I have decided not to do my masters degree from India out of which one of the main reason is lack of global recognition. Degrees from the Indian universities are not that much preferred or valued globally. Even inside India, the vast big companies or MNCs prefer students with degrees from abroad and not students with degrees from Indian universities. But even if by luck a student lands onto a job, the average  salary for a freshers is not more than 2 lakh per annum, which is too low.

The other alarming factor due to which I decided to not to continue my studies in India is lack of practical knowledge! The Indian education system does not offer practical knowledge to the students, slowing down their learning process and restricting their growth in particular study fields.However, hypothetical comprehension of any subject is significant, but it does not relate the students with the reality if they do not give along with the practical knowledge.Lack of practical knowledge restricts the student’s potential to grow in the real world. It doesn’t allow them to know their potential and learn new skills. So, to explore all the aspects of my field I want to study abroad.

5. WHY DEAKIN UNIVERSITY

For the purpose of studying Masters of Communication , I have chosen Deakin University because of its ranking and favourable reviews. Deakin University have been ranked among top 1% of the global Universities. One of the reasons to choose Deakin is its quick application process. Moreover, the coursework of the University is detailed and impressive as compared to other Universities, such as, Federation University, RMIT University, La Trobe University, Victoria University and Swinburne University. 

Also, on campus the University have students from various countries which would also help me to know about various cultures and traditions. Furthermore, tuition fees is reasonable as compared to Monash University, so this University is pocket friendly for me. With this, I have also received a scholarship of 20% from

Deakin University, which is one of the most major reason for choosing Deakin University over any other university.

Deakin University is also known for its research programs. In terms of student support and teaching scale, this university is highly ranked. Moreover, placement cell of the university works actively in close cooperation with industries and helps them to give more fresh talent. The staff of the university takes care of students by adopting personalized learning approach. For the mental wellbeing of the pupil the university have separate department.  

Due to all of the advantages stated above I am really looking forward to pursue my masters degree from Deakin University.

6. WHY AUSTRALIA OVER ANY OTHER COUNTRY 

Australia is the third largest destination for international students. Australian degrees are globally recognized and are highly valued by industries. Out of variety of courses a student can take any course of his interest.The degrees from Australian Universities are recognized throughout the world. Graduates from Australia are immensely successful in finding jobs and other  employment prospects after the completion of their studies. 

Also, not only they offer the best available facilities, they also offer a wide range of courses that suit almost anyone and everyone.Australian education system is committed to providing students with an education that links formal learning with workplace experience. l will get a chance to learn through a broad mix of study modes including lectures, tutorials, practical classes, project work and seminars using face-to-face, online and other flexible delivery mechanisms.

Another reason of choosing Australia is that it has similar climatic conditions as India  as compared to other countries like Canada where the climatic conditions are very harsh. Living expenses and tuition costs are also considerably lower in Australia than they are in the United States and United Kingdom. Not only this but also,when it comes to safety, the crime rate is much lower in Australia than in the USA.Thus, student need not to worry about their safety. 

Studying in Australia gives you the chance to select from a wide range of options. During the first year, and you can narrow down your choices later on, but the case is not same with UK where you have to stick to a major that you opt at first and gives you lesser chance to evaluate your interests by studying different subject areas.

Moreover, if one truly enjoys there time studying in Australia, they my stay longer as Australia also offers a Temporary Graduate Visa (subclass 485) that allows eligible  international students to stay in Australia and continue to work with the most reputed companies after they have been graduated to gain experience.

7. FUTURE PLANS

After completing Masters of Communication , there would be a wider scope of job opportunities. I would be able to choose my career path out of wider options. These options are communication manager, advertising specialist, public relation manager, marketing expert,digital marketing expert, media advisor, social media manager and many more. 

While studying in Australia, the student gets 20 hours per week working rights which I can use as an advantage by working under the job role which is suitable to my course. It will add more impression to my CV and would make my skills more perfect which will be very useful for me once I move back to my country. 

Once my course is completed , I will return to my home country to seek opportunities in  companies like   Hindustan Times,Times Group,All Indian Radio (AIR),Fortune Communications,JWT India.With an Australian degree, I can expect a package between 7 lakhs to 10 lakhs per annum as a fresher in India which is quite impressive according to Indian standards.

Online job forums have gained a lot of credence in the present time and have helped people gain employment of their choice. Portals such as Linkedln.com, Naukari.com, Angel.co, many more are available which will help me to get a job in lndia. l will not only be able to work in Private sectors but Public Sectors as well.Even lndian Economy at present is on its boom as our Prime Minister Narendra Modi has introduced "MAKE lN lNDlA" there will be many multinational companies that will enhance my employability by the time I will complete my course. 

Also, the main reason to return back to lndia is my family and my country which I want to serve. I will be very grateful to spend few years of my life in a country like Australia but I don’t see myself living there on permanent bases as I am very much attached to my roots and want to take care of my parents. I want to spend those precious moments with my family which money can’t buy.

ln the end, I would like to make a humble request to kindly consider my application for a study visa and allow me to accomplish my career goals.

I declare that I have written this statement of purpose myself as well as have not had assistance writing this. I declare that I am a genuine student and a genuine temporary entrant to Australia. I also declare that I have suflicient funds to cover the cost of my tuition and living expenses for the duration of my study.
