Graduate / SOP Msc Toxicology in UK [5]

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

NAME : V. Niklesh Rao
FIELD : MSc Toxicology
SEMESTER : September 2010

The quest for knowledge has always been my ardent desire. Right from my school days, the sciences as a subject has fascinated me and it seemed as if I had an innate liking and propensity toward the subject. My interest in the subject reflected in my grades. I scored 86.5% in X and 89.1% in XII standards respectively.

Early Inspiration:
My schooling put me on the firm grounds of academics and social values. I had always pursued an analytical solution to any problem. This propelled me to take up the sciences, Biology, Physics and Chemistry as majors in my XII. Having faced a state wide competitive entrance examination in which I stood 6000th of a total of about 150,000 students, I secured admission in a Bachelors course in Pharmacy at Vignan Institute of Pharmaceutical Technology (VIPT) (affiliated to Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, Kakinada), a premiere institute in my state.

Under graduation Education:
My Bachelors study at VIPT, with an immense potential and excellent infrastructure and experienced faculty has guaranteed my purpose to pursue quality undergraduate education and cemented my will to take up challenges. The assiduously prepared curriculum at college has enabled me to widen my horizons of knowledge in subjects like Pharmacology, Pharmaceutics, Medicinal Chemistry and Pharmacokinetics.

Areas of Interest:
My areas of interest include Drug-Drug interactions, Adverse Drug Reactions (ADR's), Clinical Pharmacology and Toxicology, which incline my interest in the Graduate course MSc Toxicology.

My Strengths :
As a part of my practical industrial training of four weeks at S.K Parenterals, I was exposed to all facets of industrial manufacture of Parenteral Products. In my zest for the latest developments in the field of pharmacy, I am registered to participate in the upcoming 61st Indian Pharmaceutical Congress to be held at Ahmedabad in December. I actively participate in discussion forums, post articles and blogs on the developments in the areas of my interest in a Canada based website, pharmainfo.net.

My Promises :
Having made this statement of my objectives, it is my belief what your University looks for in a prospective student, a strong academic background and the will to perform and deliver.

An extremely distinguished faculty, immense reputation, a milieu replete with academic activity, state-of-the-art research facilities in the field of Toxicology and being one of the recommended University by the British Toxicology Society (BTS) are the most important factors which have motivated to choose University of Surrey for my graduate studies.

I assure you that I will make the most of myself and will be unsparing in my efforts in academics and shall remain as a promising, engaging and rewarding asset to your premiere institute. All I need is an opportunity that shall be the success path of my career.

Summing up:
As Aldous Hoxley puts it, "Science has explained nothing, the more we know, the more fantastic, the more profound the surrounding darkness." The journey ahead is no doubt an arduous and demanding one but then, the thrill one gets when he discovers something new at the frontiers of human knowledge, however small it may be, is unparalleled. I am sure you would help me in giving my very best and provide me requisite confidence to meet the academic challenges that your curriculum would pose. I wish to channelise my knowledge and skills and make my life significant by joining your University.

Thank you for the opportunity to express myself.
