SoP for master in chemical science? [9]
Sop for Masters degree in CHEMICAL SCIENCEHello,
this my final SoP essay for Masters degree in CHEMICAL SCIENCE. and hope the SoP experts to correct my essay.
add, remove, edit.
i add my internship activities.
thank you very much. here it is.STATEMENT OF PURPOSE - Masters degree in CHEMICAL SCIENCE
I am seriously interested in Chemistry from the time when I was a schoolboy, my interest in chemistry originated from my chemistry teacher who was now retired and he teach us chemistry with specific manner, and we always prefer his chemistry class. I always discussed with him about the contents of the lesson. Impressed by my passion in chemistry, he emphasizes me to study chemistry at University. With his encouragement, I studied chemistry professional at University.
With good high school scores, I entered the xxxxx University - one of the best educational institutions for Chemistry in xxxxx Country. By July 2008, I had completed 5 years of undergraduate studies and received a University Diploma. In our Chemistry and Chemical Engineering Department students are required not only to take undergraduate courses, including chemical engineering, but also to carry out research(internship) in one of the major oil-chemical industry factories or research centers in xxxxx Country or at the University. Just after graduation because of my family's economic conditions and their requests unto me that I am unable to continue my higher education, so I worked three years in different areas of work such as database, software development and mechanical engineering. I was even involved in businesses for a while to complete an overseas project in China and introduce a new technology into Kazakhstan. That wide range of working experiences lends me to recognize again that the importance of continue my studies on chemistry to further higher degrees and expand my vision of horizon in chemistry field, in addition plus my passion to earn high education level in chemistry and accomplish valuable research work. The main goal of my future education is to gain valuable research experience and deepen my knowledge of chemistry. I have chosen xxxxx University because it provides excellent opportunities to pursue research in various areas of chemistry.
(Internship 1)
In July 2004, during the internship in Metalwork plant of xxxxx University, I have practiced the welding techniques such as MIG welding, TIG welding and Arc welding and combined the theory with real welding process by that it helped me a lot to clarify these techniques to further depth. And we made metal hammer with given parameters and specifications of technical requirements which taught us for mechanical and engineering courses.
(Internship 2)
In 2005 I have been doing research work at the xxxxx Chemical Fertilizer Plant. My research for the most part is related to areas of chemical fertilizer such as urea and others. My studying topic was the production of urea and ammonia. The ammonia and urea manufacturing facilities are separate, so each has its own utilities. Firstly, I synthesized and analyzed the ammonia manufacturing process known as the Haber process in which nitrogen and hydrogen react in the presence of an iron catalyst to form ammonia. Secondly, I am turned to urea manufacturing process which includes two equilibrium reactions of ammonia with carbon dioxide and one undesired biuret (NH2CONHCONH2) formation reaction. During the research I look into every production steps of urea such as synthesis, purification, concentration and granulation. As a result of this work, I founded a great knowledge base for the producing processes of one of the most important industrial product - solid chemical fertilizer.
(Internship 3)
In summer 2007, I instructed to carry research in the field of oil refinery at xxxxx Petrochemical Company. My second project concerned this sprawling industrial process plant where crude oil is processed and refined into more useful petroleum products, such as gasoline, diesel fuel, and asphalt base, heating oil, kerosene, and liquefied petroleum gas. The research work not only brings me a great deal of experience and the research ability, but more importantly, strengthened my knowledge and passion for chemical engineering field.
(Final year project)
Moreover, importantly that my final year project "Low pressure system process calculation for the production of annually 520,000 tons urea plant with Stamicarbon carbon dioxide stripping process", was includes the basic overview of urea production techniques, the technical procedures and features of the urea plant's vaporizing extract process, analysis of stripping process and technological conditions. Carry on material balance for high-low systems of plant, and heat balance of low pressure system. The project done offered great insight into theoretical calculation of chemical engineering and engineering principles.
I wish to pursue my graduate studies at your esteemed institution, as I believe that a Masters degree will help me to realize my ultimate goal, which is to develop myself as a well trained chemical science and establish a career in the chemical industry. The main goal of my future education is to gain valuable research experience and deepen my knowledge of chemical science, after completing of master degree step into earn a PhD.
Throughout my academic year, I have studied very hard through the five years in college and have build up a well-rounded background not only in Chemistry, but also in other areas including Mathematics, Physics, Computer and Biology. And I have various research interests, but the major area in which I would like to specialize, if I will be accepted at your graduate school, is Nano-materials synthesis or Membrane science directions. I hope that my future work will be beneficial for the University and myself. I am very interested in attaining a Master degree from xxxxx University.
