📝 Guidelines for Statement of Purpose (SOP)
🎯 Writing Instructions:
In your statement of purpose, please address some or all of the following questions to help the committee understand your motivations and research interests.
- How will advanced study in English help you to achieve your career goals?
- Why do you want to pursue an advanced degree in English rather than a degree in another field (for example: economics / business management / pedagogy / education)?
- Which field of study — linguistics or culture studies — do you think will be the focus of your research thesis? How might this intended field of study help you in the future?
- What questions / topics in your chosen field do you intend to research (and perhaps write about for your M.A. thesis)?
- In addition to helping you pursue a career in the future, in what other ways do you think advanced study in English will be useful / valuable to you?
- Why is NTUT one of the graduate schools that you applied to? Why do you think the program at NTUT specifically — as opposed to programs at other universities — will help you to achieve your goals?
