SAMPLE SOP FOR BIOTECHNOLOGY

The dynamic field of Biotechnology appeals to my intellect with its advancement in scientific
research. It’s amazing to explore its benefactions to elevate the quality of human life. With the
dream of contributing to this field of study, I decided to pursue a Master’s in Biotechnology from
the reputed Brock University. I feel confident that this is the right course of action for the
actualization of my academic and professional aspirations. Aligning my interests and professional
goals seamlessly, I look forward to be a part of the dynamic academic environment at your
institute.

As a passionate student, I have maintained an impressive academic performance all these years.
My aptitude for science became evident right from the school days. I enjoyed exploring the truths
and theories behind phenomena that manifest themselves in daily life. This curiosity weighed in
my decision to select biology as my graduation major. Through the course, I learned about the
concepts of Applied Biochemistry, Ecology, Medical Botany, Biophysics, and other disciplines
that refined my fundamentals. The course also covered advanced concepts like molecular biology,
bioinformatics, Systems Physiology, and Genetic Engineering.

The topic for my final year academic project was a study about the molecular pathways in cancer
cells. The aim of the project was to identify the potential for non-invasive cancer treatment during
the early stages. I also published a paper on the applications of functional genomics in the medical
field. As part of the study, I explored the variability of genes, their resultant proteins, and the role
played by the amino acids in the biochemical processes of the human body. Such projects
eventually taught me the merits of research-based education, besides working as part of a team.

In addition to academic studies, I have actively participated in a variety of extra-curricular


activities as well. As a guitar player, I have participated in competitive performances at school and
college programs. I look forward to the opportunity of carrying out the same in Canada. My
capacity to take the initiative and lead from the front was nurtured by organizing and participating
in the cultural and art events at the college campus.
For the last five years, I have been working at LiveTech Labs as a senior laboratory assistant. In
this position, I have performed tasks such as specimen collection, quality regulation procedures,
tabulating data from various sources, documenting experimentation, and helping with
administrative duties as required. I realized that I have reached the far end of the growth potential
that my current education offers. This realization convinced me to pursue higher studies,
embracing a Master’s program in Biotechnology.

I was skeptic while scanning the Indian universities for this course. The Indian academic system
seems to be rigid and lacks flexibility for students possessing multiple passions. As a student, I
have always enjoyed freedom when it comes to learning. Considering this reason, I decided to opt
for education from a university outside the country. This will also allow me to get familiar with
the best practices and performance benchmarks in the international domain. After some research,
I found Canada to be the most suitable option. Most importantly, I would enjoy the pragmatic
approach to learning in Canada, the scope of which is virtually nil in my homeland.

I decided on the Brock University as it takes an active effort to accommodate the exponential
progression of scientific developments into its academic curriculum. I highly value this approach
as it is essential to stay abreast with the latest advancements to perform well in the evolving job
market. It is also essential to obtain a good combination of theoretical and applied knowledge. The
Masters’ course offered by your esteemed university perfectly commingles the best from both
worlds. I am also excited by the fact that this course will be instructed by veteran professors who
have years of research experience.

I have arranged for an education loan to ensure that the financial demands for my living costs and
tuition fees can be securely met. I have applied for the scholarship program from the university
and feel hopeful about securing it. The details of the loan and my financial statement have been
submitted with the application for your assessment.

After completing my education, I will come back to my country to resume my professional life.
The Biopharmaceutical industry of India is well established and offers plenty of opportunities to
certified and trained candidates. I wish to work in a medical lab as a research assistant. The idea
of working under a scientist in a similar discipline also appeals to me. I harbor a dream of stepping
up as a researcher and gaining a PhD after accumulating sufficient research exposure from the
industry. Evidently, a berth in your revered institution will substantially leverage my career.
