My interest in the area of the IT sector has pushed me a mile further for strengthening my  enjoyment in studies, work experiences, and training. My name is your name, son of father’s  name and mother’s name. I was born on the date of birth. I am from your permanent address. My bachelor’s degree in Electronics and Communication Engineering has always been a life changing experience and has inspired me to put the knowledge into my Master’s degree. Now, I  plan to pursue a Master of Information Technology and System from the university name,  Australia. 

I would like to present my past performances as my credentials for success in the future. My  academic performance was good and this acted as a booster and made me look at the future with  confidence and excitement. I successfully completed my School Leaving Certificate (SLC) from School name and address with academic %, in the year 2005. I completed my higher secondary  education (10+2 HSEB Board) securing Academic % in Science Faculty, from Nobel Academy  Higher Secondary School, Naya Baneshwor, Kathmandu, in the year 2007. So to pursue my  childhood dream to become an Engineer, I have taken BE (Engineering) entrance preparation  course from Institution name, from June 2007 to July 2008. Then I have enrolled in Nepal  Engineering College (nec), which is affiliated to Pokhara University in August 2008 for a  Bachelor of Electronics and Communication Engineering. I graduated in June 2013 securing  Your GPA out of 4.00. This Bachelor of Electronics and Communication Engineering has laid a  strong foundation for me in such a way that I have enhanced my knowledge in both Hardware  and Software. I gained knowledge of Network Theory, Computer Networks, Programming in C,  Object-Oriented Programming in C++, Digital Communication, Computer Organization and  Computer Graphics. 

I started to work as an IT Support Engineer in company name from 1st August 2013 to 15th July  2015, where my duty and responsibilities were: 

∙ install and configure computer hardware operating systems and applications ∙ monitor and maintain computer systems and networks

∙ conduct electrical safety checks on computer equipment. 

After gaining some valuable experience I joined Company name has an IT Engineer from 15th  August 2015. During this period they found me professionally sound, hard-working, and devoted  and motivated so they promote me to Senior IT Engineer from 1st January 2017 to the present day of Smart Tech Pvt.

To further lift my knowledge about technology and its pros and cons. I have decided to join the  Master course, which will help me to grow personally and professionally. I started to prepare for  PTE with the intention of doing my Master’s level study abroad. I appeared for the exam on 25th  June 2018 and successfully secured an overall score of 57 (Listening 55, Reading 63, Speaking  65 and Writing 51). 

As the outcome of my research, I choose Australia because it is a very popular destination with a  high quality of education. Australia has got top ranking Universities that provide excellent  quality of education and have global recognition. The education system is more practical and  carrier oriented with a good international impression which can help students to prepare  themselves for the competitive job market and to cope up with demanding challenges at work.  Friendly environment, top-quality education with innovative teaching styles, interactive  classrooms, projects, and visual presentations and many more features have made the country an  ever-welcoming destination for international students. I also attracted by the multicultural and  peaceful cities with impressive health and safety standards, low crime rate, considerably  affordable living expenses than US, UK and has favorable weather conditions and a comfortable  learning environment. 

Australia has seven of the top 100 universities in the world. Australia offers a wide range of  study options for international students, with over 22,000 courses across 1,100 institutions.  Australia’s education system ranks 8th in the world ahead of countries such as the UK, Germany,  and Japan. In addition to these, The Australia Government invested over $200,000,000 per year  for an international scholarship which makes studying in Australia more accessible for  international students. All the universities of Australia must be registered with CRICOS  (Commonwealth Register of Institute and course for Overseas Student) so it ensures that we get a  quality education, Australia has also enacted more student-friendly laws than most countries. The  Education Services for Overseas Students (ESOS) framework, has benefited international  students like me with various liberal opportunities and support services. This framework ensures  the international students to meet the requirements of various education and training services  along with various rights of students. Tuition Protection Service (TPS) provides a flexible  approach for placement and refund services for international students. 

Comparing between my country and Australia, we seem to lack an effective learning  environment and proper research methodology in education especially IT being a practically  oriented subject. In Nepal, there are few universities that offer Masters in Information  Technology such as Kathmandu University, Dhulikhel, Nepal which enrolls only 10 students per  intake which is very challenging for getting admission, Pokhara University, Purbanchal  University, and Tribhuvan University. However, many problems still exist for students such as  troubling schedule at Tribhuvan, Pokhara and Purbanchal University, teaching styles are old  fashioned, outdated systems, etc. The education system is not as liable in Nepal as we have less  qualified teachers as most of them are beginners to this profession who start teaching for gaining  personal expertise rather than for being a professional teacher. We are limited to books and have  less practical exposure. We lack research centers and internship offers which are obviously  harming students for facing the competitive market in the future. A few of the institutes here in  our country also offer Master Level courses in IT, in collaboration with foreign Universities, but  those courses are not recognized worldwide. Besides that, the masters’ degrees offered here in  our own country also place less emphasis on the practical aspect. 

After choosing Australia, I searched for some universities which offer this course in Australia  such as university name, university name. I gathered important information about education  providers such as tuition fees, admission requirements, teaching faculties, and learning  environments. I found The university name is the best option for me in terms of tuition fees,  admission policy, and course structure. It is currently ranked in 287 in the world in the 2018 QS  World University Rankings and 17th in Australia. It provides more than 100 undergraduate  (bachelor) degrees and more than 150 postgraduate programs, from graduate certificates through  to research degrees with five colleges and three specialist institutes, and includes degrees in  architecture, environmental management, engineering, medicine, nursing, business finance, ICT,  and aquaculture, and more. Moreover, the university name is highly regarded internationally for  teaching and academic excellence. Masters in Information Technology and Systems are available  in two cities where study centers are in Hobart and Launceston. Hobart is the capital of  Tasmania, Australia’s island state and very suitable place for accommodation as it is also the  southernmost city on the continent. Hobart is the prime position for exploring Australia’s natural  wonders and eye-catching destinations like Tasmania Museum and Art Gallery, Museum of Old  and New Art, Mount Wellington, Salamanca Markets and spectacular views of the harbor. It is  also one of the most affordable places to study and live in Australia with a multicultural  population of around 220,000 people. These features can ensure qualitative education and a  favorable learning environment to international students. I believe that I have made a promising  decision to proceed with my educational journey ahead at university name which I believe will  turn out very handy and a great asset for me and my country in the future. 

I have picked Masters of Information Technology and Systems in university name, the course  provides a wide breadth of knowledge of varying aspects of information technology (IT) and  information systems (IS). The course knowledge, understanding, and skills enable us to deal  effectively with advanced issues involving IT and IS. The technological advancements in recent  times are growing at an incredible pace. This has resulted in network industries of high  complexity, where technicians with applied research skills and the ability to work independently  are required. This demand is only expected to grow in the coming years. This course develops a  foundation in IT and System analysis to give graduates the capabilities of system professionals. 

These professionals are in demand in popular fields like system analysis and design, cyber security, web technology, database technology, data communication, network technology are  included as in the course. The duration of the MITS is 2 years. MITS at university name offers  two core Subjects, one is with 16 subjects and another is with 12 subjects. I am interested in 12  subjects program which has various subjects that are:

MITS in university name will definitely help me develop my skills in a database system,  information systems, web development as well as research projects that include handling of  national/international projects, improvement of data storage and file management, etc. 

After completing the Masters of Information Technology and Systems at university name, I will  have ample of opportunities. The degree I will be pursuing from Australia will be a great asset in  enhancing my career here in Nepal. Students with an international master’s degree and good  work experience from abroad are highly demanded here in Nepal which makes easy to find a  permanent position in either the public or private sector. It is also known widely that Information  Technology professionals are well paid, compared to other professions. With my skills on the  database system, information systems, advanced research project, data storage and file  management, network technology, and management, etc, I would be able to be a part of reputed  software companies such as Log point, Leapfrog, Deer Walk, Cloud Factory, SPI Pvt. Ltd, etc. I  could work as a Database Administrator holding around 1,00,000 NRs – 1,50,000NRs monthly  within some years of my engagement in an IT organization or reputed companies where my  responsibilities would be ensuring security and integrity of the database, monitoring systems,  documentation, planning and allocating future storage requirements, troubleshooting database  issues and so on. I could also work as a Network Architect or a System Administrator with  satisfying income. My degree can lead me to banks or government institutions in Nepal. Overall,  Masters in Information and Technology and Systems at university name will help me flourish my  ability which will enable me to acquire expertise and contribute to my motherland. 

I will follow the rules of my education provider. I am fully aware of the obligations of a student  under SSVF (Simplified Student Visa Framework). I have understood all the terms and  conditions of the visa subclass 500 higher education sector such as: 

∙ Before applying to a visa, I need to be accepted to study full time at an educational  institution in Australia.
