وقتی صحبت از برنامه‌های کارشناسی ارشد (MS) می‌شود، بیانیه هدف (SoP) شما یک اصل برای پذیرش یا رد شما است، مگر اینکه دستاوردهای علمی و تحصیلی فوق‌العاده‌ای داشته باشید. در این پست، نکات کلیدی را که باید هنگام نوشتن SoP برای MS از جمله استراتژی‌ها و نمونه‌های برنده را مورد بحث قرار می‌دهیم.

نکاتی برای نوشتن SoP تاثیرگذار برای MS در ایالات متحده و اروپا

1. خوداندیشی و درون نگری:

سعی کنید بگویید کی هستید… ارزش های شخصی خود و … را بیان کنید

قطعه ای از یک SOP برای مهندسی پزشکی MS:

During the lockdown, I have been spending all my time at home after seven years. Many old memories have surfaced and not all of them are cherishable. I come from a middle-class orthodox Indian family. Even though both my parents are educated, I have been treated like an untouchable during every menstrual cycle. “Sleep on the floor…Wake up, take a cold shower…Don’t touch anything..”. With meagre sex education in school, it was only in college that I interacted with women from diverse backgrounds and learned that the taboo around menstruation is only the surface of the suffering that Indian women endure.

2. به خوانندگان بگویید که چگونه محیط اطراف، محیط یا خانواده شما انگیزه شما را برای تبدیل شدن به فردی که امروز هستید ایجاد کرده است!

قطعه ای از یک SOP برای مهندسی برق کارشناسی ارشد:

I grew up in a small town called Cabimas in Venezuela. My state is well known for oil related activities and how the biggest oil companies in the world operated there. Both of my parents are engineers, and I remember how they always ingrained in me, a sense of logic and critical thinking.

Since I was a kid, I was curious to understand how mechanical and electronic devices work. I used to disarm toys just to understand what was inside, and how they work. While growing up, I realized I wanted to study electricity. I was impressed how something we cannot see is critical in our daily lives.

In my middle and high school, I excelled in every subject. However, my interest was always in science, especially, mathematics and physics. My curiosity kept growing until I wanted to know how every electrical system worked, so studying Electrical Engineering during my undergrad was an easy decision for me.

3. تمرکز بر مبدا - نقطه آغازین

قطعه ای از SOP برای انرژی های تجدیدپذیر MS

About 70% of India’s energy needs are fulfilled by fossil fuels and about 40% of fresh produce is going is wasted annually before reaching consumers due to a lack of cold chain infrastructure. This is a problem faced by many third-world countries. 

As a child, I would accompany my father to his manufacturing facility of copper tubes and capillaries for HVAC industry. We had visited various OEM’s and conferences related to HVAC. I remember him telling me the future of the world is in green technology.

To work ahead on green technologies, I studied Bachelors in Mechanical Engineering. In College, I was very curious about studying new developments and researches related to HVAC. I always enjoyed studying the subjects Heat transfer, Thermodynamics, and Fluid Mechanics.

Academics apart, I did two internships as a summer engineer trainee in NEI and Sigma Electric in Jaipur. Those training enabled me to create a pragmatic and rational approach to problems along with new insights to my theoretical understanding of Poka Yoke, Kaizen, Material science, and advanced manufacturing.

4. کنجکاوی و اشتیاق واقعی را نشان دهید

فقط دوره ها و پروژه های خود را خلاصه نکنید. به خوانندگان بگویید که این تجربیات چگونه به شما انگیزه داده است.

در مورد الهامات خود صحبت کنید ... در مورد چالش هایی که با آن روبرو شده اید صحبت کنید!

چرا این موضوع و چرا مدرک کارشناسی ارشد در این زمینه؟

قطعه ای از یک SOP برای بیوانفورماتیک MS:

I was in the 2nd year of the B.Eng. Biotechnology program when I got introduced to the application of bioinformatics in predictive analysis and precision medicine.

……

The following summer I interned at the Institute of Bioinformatics lab at the National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences in Bangalore.

……

In addition to coursework theory and practical experiences, the book “Rigor Mortis” by Richard Harris further stirred my interest in the field of bioinformatics. The author questions the reliability of current model organisms used in research by stating that drugs like statins and aspirin would fail almost all animal tests even today; also, what works in a mouse gets replicated in rats only 60% of the time.

To me, this underlined the need to look for alternatives to current drug testing practices in drug discovery. Since, the same drugs work differently on different individuals; I believe that bioinformatics algorithms for developing engineered small molecules and testing them on virtual disease models could be a solution for effective therapeutics.

5. دلیل انتخاب این دوره/برنامه خاص را توجیه کنید.

اگر از پیشینه غیر CS هستید و می خواهید MS در علوم داده (ML/AI) انجام دهید ... به خوانندگان بگویید -

چه چیزی در علم داده شما را هیجان زده می کند؟

چرا MIS، CS، سیستم های اطلاعاتی نیست.

چگونه خود را برای یادگیری اصول علم داده تحت فشار قرار داده اید؟

آیا دوره های کارآموزی مرتبطی انجام داده اید؟

چگونه آن تجربه شما را به دنبال علم داده ترغیب کرد؟

در مورد چالش هایی که با آن مواجه بودید صحبت کنید... چه محدودیت هایی باعث شده است که مدرک کارشناسی ارشد در علوم داده را در نظر بگیرید؟

هدف چیست - هدف شما پس از MS چیست؟ آرزوهای شغلی شما چیست؟

چرا این برنامه یا دانشگاه؟

اسنیپت برای MS Data Science:

My interest in artificial intelligence (AI) research started with my first online course in machine learning (ML) led by Prof. Andrew Ng. This interest changed into my passion when I built a virtual assistant at my start-up where I extensively explored natural language processing (NLP) and item response theory.

By working on various applications of ML in my current role, following the work done by organisations like OpenAI, and discussing with friends doing ML research at Google and DeepMind, I am completely convinced about further building my career in AI.

6. جریان منسجم منطق و استدلال برای نشان دادن انگیزه

قطعه ای از SOP برای کارشناسی ارشد مهندسی محیط زیست:

 Envision a kid drenched in sludge. Unaware of his exposure to lethal toxins he dawns an unfading smile. I crossed paths with this indelible moment years ago while surveying a slum in Mumbai. The study of this region brought forth its tremendous spike in kids’ mortality rates. The primary culprit for this was the contamination of their drinking supply by people like us.

Overwhelmed with guilt, I experienced an epiphany that solving the water crisis, an issue I strongly identify with, exceeds ensuring the availability of water. It nudged me to explore research in wastewater treatment. Eventually, I realised that in order to contribute towards attenuation of water pollution, having a command on behaviour of contaminants, their correlation and influence on the biosphere is imperative. Compelled to acquire this multifaceted approach I’ve decided to explore the field of Environmental Chemistry.

قطعه ای از SOP برای MS Bioengineering:

I discovered that twenty-three million girls drop out of school and forty thousand women die of cervical cancer every year in India due to low awareness and little access to affordable sanitary products. This sordid state of women’s health tortured the engineer inside me and I wanted to contribute towards this field.

This summer I secured an opportunity to intern at ABC-XYZ. My work on the AI women’s health assistant, which now provides accurate sexual and mental health information to a thousand website visitors per month, involved brainstorming on user needs with the in-house gynecologist. I deeply enjoyed these interdisciplinary interactions and that’s what reinstated my motivation to pursue bioengineering.

7. با یک داستان شخصی از انگیزه خود حمایت کنید.

بریده‌ای از یک مقاله برای MS Business Analytics:

Towards the end of my internship at 3M R&D, I stumbled upon a business seminar while looking for free food. It is then when the speaker’s words changed my life – “A 1% price change can affect margins by 11%, only if you make the data ‘talk’“. His seemingly unbelievable but statistically possible way of leveraging data to drive profitability blew me away. Fascinated, I soon left the beakers and test tubes behind, taking several online courses on creatively using data. Discovering my passion for analytics, I went on to design data-driven pricing solutions at my first job.

8. هوش فرهنگی خود را نشان دهید.

قطعه ای از SOP برای MS EE/Robotics:

To further widen the horizon on my technical knowledge, I went to do an internship at the National Chin Ye University in Taiwan in the fields of Arduino and IoT. I learned the application of theoretical concepts. I made devices that were suitable in practical scenarios like home automation. I worked on creating apps that can switch on or off the electricity, predict gas leakage, etc.

The entire experience was an interesting one because I had a language barrier. But, that didn’t stop me from working effectively. Apart from the invaluable technical knowledge gained, I also learned a great deal about patience and cross-cultural communication by communicating with peers, who neither speak our language nor did I speak theirs. …….

9. بر هدف خود در SOP تأکید کنید

این یک بیانیه هدف است. بنابراین، با هدف/هدف/هدف بسیار مشخص باشید!

Snippet#1:

While I firmly believe that my diverse experiences have given me breadth in Bioengineering, I lack the in-depth clinical understanding and industry-specific exposure characteristic of every innovator in the healthcare industry. Therefore, I plan to gain knowledge of the nuances of technology development in the healthcare industry. Affordable healthcare is one of the ten focus areas of the Stanford School of Engineering, pursuing MS in Bioengineering program at your university seems like the right choice to me.

Snippet#2:

I have faced many challenges due to a lack of formal education in this area. At my start-up, I was unable to build a product that was technologically capable of solving the customers’ problems. This eventually led to the company shutting down. Moreover, the lack of a formal degree in ML has restricted my professional career growth. It is imperative to have a graduate degree in ML in order to work at a senior position in the industry, lead a team of ML engineers, and be trusted with important projects…..

The Dissertation is the part that I look forward to most. I have communicated with Dr. ABC and Dr. Tim XYZ for a potential research topic involving deep reinforcement learning in multi-agent systems. Working with them would be the highlight of my career.

10. در مورد "چرا این دانشگاه" مشخص و دقیق باشید

Snippet#1:

At TU Delft the D:DREAM teams of Vattenfall Solar Team and Solar Boat Team shows the student culture which can be a great learning experience for students. YES!DELFT is one of kind organization that can help convert raw dreams into reality. The Electrical Sustainable Power Lab is something that I believe provide very good for validating results and provide a perfect amalgamation of theoretical and practical research. The research work done on the novel approach to calculate urban solar power potential by the researchers intrigued me.

One of my key areas of interest is photovoltaic. The PVLAB equipped with Solar Simulator at TU Delft is something I believe can help turn ideas into reality.

Snippet#2:

During the program, I am keen to further develop my research understanding of the fields of biomechanics, medical device design and deep learning in medicine. While exploring the ongoing research across these fields, I came across the P******* Lab and their research on Frugal Science and Global Health resonated with my goal of building cost effective solutions.

I also found Professor ABC’s work on localization of catheters in lungs using deep learning very intriguing. I am currently taking the AI in Medicine Specialization on Coursera and reading about his research helped me deepen my understanding of the applications of CNNs. Moreover, I was excited to find out that Professor XYZ’s research on computational methods for patient-specific modelling overlaps with my past research experience in modelling patient-specific heat transfer in tumors. 

11. بیانیه شخصی Personal Statement در مقابل SOP برای برنامه های MS

مدارس برتر مانند هاروارد، استنفورد، دانشگاه کالیفرنیا برکلی، میشیگان و غیره هم درخواست SoP و هم بیانیه شخصی را دارند.

بیانیه هدف (SoP) باید شامل موارد زیر باشد:

علایق تحصیلی

قصد دارید در آینده چه کاری انجام دهید (آرزوهای شغلی)

علایق پژوهشی در مدرسه/برنامه خاص

چرا این برنامه برای شما مناسب است

چگونه برنامه به آموزش/آموزش قبلی و اهداف آینده شما متصل می شود

بیانیه شخصی باید شامل موارد زیر باشد:

چگونه شخصیت، انگیزه و تجربیات شما (دانشگاهی و غیر دانشگاهی) شما را به کاندیدای عالی برای این برنامه تبدیل می کند؟

به عنوان مثال. – چگونه یک دوره کارآموزی تابستانی علاقه شما را به بیوانفورماتیک برانگیخت / چگونه غلبه بر موانع تحصیلی شما را برای ادامه تحصیل در مقطع کارشناسی ارشد ترغیب کرد

با مدرک تحصیلی خود چه برنامه ای دارید / چگونه می خواهید با استفاده از مدرک تحصیلی خود به دیگران کمک کنید؟

نمونه SOP برای MS در علوم کامپیوتر (CS)

It is apparent to me that pursuing a graduate degree would not only allow me to deepen my understanding of the various tenets of Computer Science but also provide me with a broader spectrum of job opportunities in the field of my choice. I have developed an interest in computer applications since the ninth standard, which has consistently increased since then resulting in my participation in various intra-collegiate coding competitions, the ACM ICPC, and most recently, an internship as a Software Developer at BlackRock Inc., Gurgaon.

The specialization in Computing Systems would prepare me for the role of a Software Engineer as part of the industry. However, I deeply empathize with farmers, a community that comprises roughly twenty-one percent of India’s population and one-fifth of which lives below the poverty line. Plagued with farmer suicides and abysmal crop yields, Indian agriculture – the backbone of our economy – is in a sorry state of affairs now more than ever and in the long run, I would like to utilize my skills to give back to this community.

Georgia Tech’s (GT) research interests in the field of precision agriculture, which aims to promote agricultural advancement by the use of satellite technology, is aligned with my own. Of particular interest to me is Professor xyz’s work on abc. The fact that prof. xyz undertakes his research while also being able to work with technological leaders such as <google> is indication of their contribution to academia as well as industry and of GT’s strong connect with the industry. I have been a part of the SAHIL (Students Against Her Ignominy And Libel) initiative against gender inequality, at college, which has helped me appreciate the equal representation of all genders – something that student organizations such as GT’s WECE stand for.

It is a matter of great prestige for my family to have three members graduate from this university. Having detailed conversations with them has convinced me that Georgia Tech not only has a sound computer science program but also great placement opportunities. According to Chintan Vora, “An MS in CS at Georgia Tech gave me the ideal academic environment to hone my analytical, creative and research skills. The coursework was expansive and covered variety of CS topics from  basics like algorithms and operating systems to  recent trends like big data and cloud computing. The opportunity to work alongside brightest minds, distinguished professors and researchers prepared me for a highly productive career in technology and research.”

نمونه SOP برای MS در علم داده

After finishing undergraduate studies, instead of just drifting into a post-graduation career, I decided to work and understand what I wanted out of life so I joined JPMC as a contractor, and later due to my impeccable performance and client handling, I was converted to a permanent employee. I have been promoted 4 times in 9 years of my professional life and have donned multiple hats during this tenure. 

I tried to acquire everything that could be considered as a professional success but I usually got bored with routine and mundane software development tasks and battled a moral dilemma that I wanted to do something meaningful which had a larger social impact. I wanted to get into research roles and explore areas like NLP and Computer Vision, which have the potential to address some of the world’s most challenging social problems.

But, considering I just had an undergrad degree not many were ready to take me seriously and offer similar roles. In retrospect I was not a prodigy or a genius and had to carve my own path myself, I reckoned I would have to leave my comfort zone and to everyone’s dismay and disbelief would have to go back to graduate school so that I can dedicate my time to get some good publications and get a plethora of research experience in core areas of Artificial Intelligence so that prospective employers or academia can take me seriously. 

During my study, I would like to focus on NLP. I am certain with the growing facilities and direction provided by the industrious faculty at the university, attaining a cutting-edge in the industry will become easier for me. Apart from core subjects, I am also interested in the subjects like Deep Learning, Computer Vision. In particular, I would like to work under Prof John Haws as his work in NLP, aligns with my area of interest.
