SOP

I believe the role of a social worker is to serve and empower individuals, groups, and communities, who continue to face social injustice, inequality and the many shapes and shades of abuse, in order to help restore a greater sense of human and social well-being. As Social work, alongside other professions, shares and draws on a set of core values and principles relating to the human, legal and civil rights of the child and adult. I would deem it as a brilliant opportunity to pursue the Master's program at your elite university so, that it will help me build and learn more methodologies and practice being followed in a country like UK which is far more reactive to the social causes for all kind of communities and societies.

As, being a social worker one have intervene directly in people's lives, to ensure that individuals are safe and to support people to make their own decisions and changes to their circumstances. I am very confident that the obtaining a Master's program will be giant one step forward towards realizing my dream to be an effective social worker.

I am very confident that the obtaining a Master's program will be giant one step forward towards realizing my dream to be an effective social worker.I do understand that my family is totally committed and is ready to support me financially during my course and I find it quite valuable support at this stage of my life.I believe that my background, my ambition, and my originality will enable me to make a valuable contribution to the society and be helpful hand to make a significant difference in their lives with the aid of a Master's Degree in Social Work.

My reasons for choosing Social Work program is more than building a career out of it. I you can see from my profile I do hold educational qualifications in computer science domain which is nowhere related to social work area. However, my interest and appetite in social work profession obliges a Master's degree to be obtained so, that I can further realize my goal to be an effective social worker.

My journey towards Social Work domain started with my first employer which is an autonomous body, Government of India under Ministry of Labour and Employment, in year 2011, where I did get an opportunity to work in social work especially for children's with disabilities.

That experience was a life changing event for me and I realized that there is very relatively little known about the abuse of disabled children and very less research has been carried out regarding the safeguarding of disabled children in my country. Furthermore, during the course I realized that there are many challenges which are still to be addressed and still lot of work needs to be carried out in this domain.
