I am planning to pursue my masters in UK.Please guide me, and suggest me if any changes need to be done..
My SOP goes like this:
For as long as I can remember, I've never been satisfied with the knowledge I possess. Law touches almost every aspect of our life, and like life is constantly evolving to keep up with the same societal trends to which we try so hard to conform. My wish to study law stems from a need to overcome the inequities of society by enabling the law to keep up with the modern fast paced society, something that can only be achieved by a better understanding of the foundation of the laws that govern us. I strive to achieve challenging goals that that require considerable focused application of mind, and personal reflection such as [I want to Consider inserting a personal experience or example that demonstrates this]. Studying law at the graduate level refines a students understanding and method of thinking, which I think will better serve me in my professional public policy oriented career.
Currently I am a final year undergraduate student, pursuing the five year B.A.LL.B course in University Law College, Bangalore University. Academically speaking I have achieved a ______ mark through my years and am confident that I will score well in the final exams. However, it is my inquisitive nature and innate ambition to make an educated change in Indian legislation and civil service that truly sets me apart.
Presently, in addition to my other studies, I am also pursuing Master in Business Laws National Law School of India as well as the qualification of Company Secretary from Institute of Company Secretaries of India. I hope to inculcate this knowledge that I acquired through my academic program through my legal career. Law is the only profession that gives me the ability to fulfill my lifelong dream of making a significant impact on our society through civil service.
Academics aside, I have participated in numerous extracurricular activities. I was an Executive Member in organizing the XII All India Moot Court Competition, in the University Law College. Being part of an organization team taught me the importance of communicating amicably with team members, dealing with difficult situations and working hard in a group, I am sure that these lessons will serve me well in the times to come.
I believe that theoretical knowledge alone is not enough to be a good lawyer, practical knowledge and experience also plays an important role. In this regard, I have worked as an intern with various organizations which have given me a chance to dive deep into various topics and have attempted to gain an insight to the knowledge and skill required to pursue my masters in law as well as to succeed as a legal professional. I learned much from my internships, particularly in relation to drafting and negotiating contracts and legal notices, however I believe the most important takeaway from all of my internships was the satisfaction of knowing that this was what I wanted to do for the rest of my life.
It is important in today's largely global scenario to gain international exposure. I want to pursue my masters in corporate or commercial law in UK. I have chosen UK because, India and UK have a similar legal structure, which is where I would want to return. Since corporate field is not restricted to one place, where same law can be interpreted in different cultures and precepts and thus lecturers from various spheres will come and enlighten us .This will be an ideal platform for me to get to know students of other country and as well and can develop strong working relations After the completion of my masters in law I would like to pursue my career in Corporate sector. I feel that post graduate study at your University will be the most logical extension of my academic pursuits and a major step towards achieving my objectives. I would be grateful to you if I am accorded the opportunity to pursue my post graduate studies at your esteemed university and I am able to justify your faith in me.
