A Statement of Purpose (SOP) is one of the most substantial pieces of evidence to facilitate your abroad learning. The clarity it exudes will define your needs and goals in pursuing the programme. Unfortunately, students are struggling to put together an SOP owing to their lack of clarity in drafting the document. This session intends to cast light on all the prerequisites for abroad education and will train students to compose a convincing SOP.
