STATEMENT OF PURPOSE INTRODUCTION

I am Sapna Jha working as a software developer since 2 nd November,2014.I am

originally from Madhya Pradesh India, born on 6 th September 1989. After marriage I am
settled with my husband in Rupnagar Punjab, India. My Parents are still living in
Madhya Pradesh India. We are four siblings, three sisters and a brother. My brother is
currently studying Master’s at Western Sydney University at its Sydney Campus. I and
my brother both are obsessed with computers. This is why we both are in computers
field. If I am asked a question where I see myself after 10years I would say I would like
to have my own software solutions company. I am an aspirational computer
professional. Exploring new things is one of my characteristics. I feel this is one of the
reasons which make me feel I should keep updating my knowledge in computers. Since
childhood I was fascinated with computer and software and later the new applications
and change in computer technologies. I belong to a small town and being a girl I never
had that privilege to go to an English medium school or use computer in my early
schooling days. But it never led me down my curiosity to learn about computer. But it
made my determination even stronger. Gradually I developed my computer skills and
my curiosity became my passion and ultimately my profession. In today’s time if
someone ask me what I do or what profession I belong to I feel really proud to say that I
am a software developer. Alongside all my struggle to become a software professional
flashes through my memory lane and it leaves a satisfactory smile on my face. It gives
me an immense pleasure to introduce myself as a software professional. Though it
looked like climbing a rock when I was a kid. One of my key interests are programming
language in computers. But now I am at stage where I feel my knowledge is becoming
restricted. When my brother who is already studying at Western Sydney University
discusses how his interest increased after studying at the University I really feel I should
also come there and study. Though I am elder to my brother and senior to him but I feel
only in a very short span of time he has gained a lot of knowledge than I did during my
whole career. I feel there is a lot to learn there at the University than what I have
learned here. This is one of the reasons why I chose Western Sydney University to
study my master degree in Information and communication Technology.

ACADEMIC AND WORK HISTORY:

1. Class 10th in 2005 with 72% from Shri Guru Nanak Public School, which is
affiliated to Madhya Pradesh Board.
2. Class 12th in 2007 with 60% from same school and Board, in PCM stream.
3. Bachelor of Science in computer science in the year 2010 with 63.5% from Shri
Sant Kanwar Ram Girls College which is affiliated to Jiwaji University Gwalior,
Madhya Pradesh.
4. I applied for Post-Graduation diploma (PGDCA DIPLOMA) of one year and
completed in 2011 with 60% from Rajmata Computer Education Gwalior.
 5. Master degree in computer science. I completed masters in computer science in
2013 with 70% from Government Model Science College which is affiliated to
Jiwaji University Gwalior.

During my school days I was lucky to have faculty who were very supportive. My Head
of department was always impressed by my practical work in class. I have done many
project works during my college days. I always had a keen interest in practical and
research work. Post studies I decided to work but because I was not getting any
substantial interesting work so I worked as an Assistant Computer Teacher in a School
from dated 02-07-2013 to 30-04-2014 so I could keep connected to the field. After that I
got a chance for which I was waiting where I attended an international seminar
regarding foreign education and I impressed by their seminar about MBA in Information
and communication technology so I applied for MBA degree from Western Sydney
University and I received Conditional offer letter as well, but I couldn’t get required
marks in my PTE Examination at that time so unfortunately I was not able to do foreign
study. However, I was working on my computer skills simultaneously so I got a job as a
software engineer in Fasdec solution company in Bangalore India in the year 02-Nov-
2014 to till now but, when my brother started his masters at Western Sydney University
and when he shared his experiences about how different it is there than in India it again
made me curious to study there. I realized I am not achieving anything substantial.
There is a lot more than what I am doing now. I felt I should upgrade my knowledge so I
can attain the next level. I decided to apply for further studies from Western Sydney
University and this time I got required marks in PTE Exam. So I decided to apply for
masters in Information and communication technology.

WHY I CHOSE AUSTRALIA’S UNIVERSITY?

Australia is an increasingly popular study destination with international students from

across the globe. I Chose Australia because Australian education is well known for its
quality. The standard of education is world class. Western Sydney University is
Australia’s one of the most accredited University which is known for its quality
education. Australian Top Universities are accredited by most of the multinational
company employers. After studying at a reputed University like WSU one passed out
student can expect a greater career opportunities in life. A WSU Degree qualification
can be accounted as a five star badge on one’s Resume. Which can not only give
student an international qualification but technical growth and can help to make their
future bright.

I got a chance to visit Sydney Australia two times with my husband. Sydney is a
beautiful city. Australian multicultural society is so enriched and heart whelming that can
attract anyone. Australia is a great place to live. The lifestyle in Australia is much more
different than as in India. If I get a chance to study and live there I will consider myself
very lucky. Not only education wise but I will get a chance to learn a lot more than that.
Learning a new culture, the use of a language which once I struggled to get enough
marks will be really encouraging for me. It will make me feel Yes I have done it. I really
liked Australian architecture. The way houses are constructed in Australia is way
different than we see in India. The first time I visited Australia I was really amused by
the way houses look. The physical and natural beauty of Australia is commendable.
Moreover the vibrant multicultural society and an outstanding lifestyle is equally
attractive. It is the site of top class universities with a high reputation, recognition and
academic excellence. Australia is the best platform for learning cooperative, interactive
and communication skills. All these outstanding Qualities influenced me to choose
Australian University. As I discussed with my brother who is enrolled at WSU praised
the University system so much that I could not stop myself to apply for the university. In
my brother’s words their studies methods like tutorials, lectures, seminars , updated
technology and major emphasis on practical work is highly impressive and I strongly
feel that I can learn my desired technical skills there. Australian education program
represents great value for money also. On the other side I can explore new diverse
culture, ritual, and I can make new friends and this all will help me to grow as a better
person in future personally and professionally. Further, Sydney is one of the most
beautiful cities in Australia, Sydney has an enriched culture and iconic world
monuments i.e. Opera House, Harbour Bridge, etc. For me, this all makes Sydney a
very knowledgeable place to learn and to visit. Furthermore, In India, students can get
theoretical knowledge and very less practical work which is not enough for better career
opportunities, and this is the big reason for me to study in Australia and in international
seminar I got to know that WSU aims for Practical knowledge and course works that will
be beneficial for me in many ways in future. I feel my previous qualification and skills
enables me the background knowledge that are required in order to partake in an
intensive Post Graduate Programme from WSU. After doing a lot of research I
shortlisted two universities in Australia to apply like UTS, WSU University. UTS has also
a top ranked university but the tuition fee is very high in UTS which is not affordable for
me, however, I took suggestion from my Brother and teachers who also suggested me
the same. I analyzed also that WSU is the best university with affordable tuition fee, so I
decided Western Sydney University to undertake my studies. I have applied for
Parramatta campus of WSU. If I am allowed to pursue my degree I will stay at my sister
in laws place who is living in Ingle burn area. The travelling time will be less for me and
I can focus on my studies, explore new places there which can help me out to
understand more about their people, place and Moreover, university also offers the on
campus jobs and aims to provide a professional experience too which can be very
helpful for my personal and professional growth.

SELECTION OF COURSE AND CAREER OPPORTUNITIES:

As mentioned above that I am very keen to learn new technologies and new computer
skills. During my education in India I had restricted resources. After my brother started
his journey at WSU and on discussions with him I felt my knowledge is limited. The field
I belong to it’s not good for my professional future. So I want to enhance my technical
knowledge that’s why I chose the course of MASTER OF INFORMATION AND
COMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGY as it is totally relevant to my previous studies and
my careers plans. I am very good in computer programming and web designing and this
course includes mobile and web computing which is very attractive for me as I always
wanted to make career in web and mobile computing sector. Web designing is
enhancing day by day and I am interested in Automation Software testing as well as,
this specialization have Advanced Topics in user system Interaction, Mobile computing,
Software Automation testing, web engineering, modern software Architectures subjects
as well and I am very curious to learn about these all subjects few subjects are new and
I have learned manual software testing but I didn’t get chance to learn Automation
software testing. I will consider myself privileged if a get a chance to learn it and I can
get an opportunity in Software testing as well, however, software Architecture subject is
my favorite one. My interest in Study will be fulfilled through this course as I will be
given guidance regarding course works. This course is highly in demand and if I will
learn about this course this course also very economical for my career as well. The
course has a vast range of opportunities. After completing my studies in Australia I will
be able to get job anywhere in the world as a Software Developer, Web designer or in
software testing field.

In future, after completing my degree, I would like to return to India. I would prefer a job
in a software company for real time experience after my degree at WSU and later I want
to start my own software development company where I can build my own idea to
reality.

ENGLISH LANGUAGE ABILITY EXAM:

1. PTE exam scored overall score 60 Which includes score of Communicative

Skills, 53 in Listening, 64 in writing, 58 in speaking and 64 in Reading.

them throughout my Studies. Having a family in Sydney I will have a moral and
emotional support which will indirectly help me to concentrate on my studies.
CONCLUSION:

in. I am mentally and physically prepared to start a new journey of my career’s growth.
I am positive that I’ll get many opportunity and better future once I completed my degree
at WSU. Simultaneously I am very much excited to think that I may get a chance to be a
