Student: IDEC Student 

INTRODUCTION 

I am Your Full Name, son of Father Name and Mother Name. My permanent resident is Your  Full Address. I am the middle child of my parents with one elder brother and a small sister to me.  My father is the owner of your father’s job/company in a Located address. My elder brother is a  secondary teacher in *********school, School Address. I would like to claim myself as a  hardworking and determined individual seeking a bright future through my dedication to the  study. Through this SOP I would like to provide you all detailed information about my  academics, personal background, future plan and other necessary conditions for my international  qualification from Australia. 

ACADEMIC BACKGROUND 

In relation to my academic qualification, I have completed my School Living Certificate (SLC)  with Academic % from Your School Name, Address in Pass out Year. Similarly, I have  completed my Diploma in your faculty from Institution Name, Address with your Academic % in  a technical stream under CTEVT (Council for Education and Vocational Training). After the  completion of my diploma, I was worked as a supervisor in Company Name. In fact, after my  diploma, I was very much confused regarding my university education because the teaching  system of Nepal is traditional and mainly theory-based. In fact, my preferred course means a  bachelor in civil engineering is completely based on both practical knowledge and research  skills. On the other hand, I want to become a Bridge Engineer but there is no University offers  such types of course in my home country. That’s why I started to think about abroad study and  after consulting with my parents they are agreed to support my education anywhere. After that, I  left my job in September and started to prepare the IELTS course with an individual and after  one month I took the IELTS exam on October 12th, 2017. Because, I wanted to check my  English ability and accuracy but unfortunately, I got only 5 scored overall; reading 5, listening  5.5, writing 4.5 and speaking 5.5. After some days, I visited different IELTS Institutes, which  had been teaching IELTS course. But, my preference goes to KIEC (Kathmandu Infosys  Education Consultancy) because of having an expert and experienced teacher and a number of  IELTS resources. In the end, on 28th November 2017, I joined the IELTS class and I continued  my study and at least 2 months in KIEC and after practices, I booked the IELTS date again and  on 3rd March 2018 and I took the exam. Fortunately, that examination I scored 5.5 overall;  reading 5.5, listening 5.5, speaking 5.5 and writing 6. 

JOB HISTORY 

When I finished my Diploma in Civil Engineering, I was looking for a better working  environment and appropriate learning sites. Fortunately, I found that Company Name and  Address, was the best and informative construction company in Nepal and it was much more  useful for me due to the multinational and well-recognized company. As well as, it had been  numerous construction sites so I think working in this company will help me to expand my basic  skills. Then I applied at the commercial General Building Supervisor post and after the  interview, I was selected for this post on 12th January 2017. My main duties and responsibilities 

were the supervision and monitoring of construction activities. During my employment period, I  had been working at different sites in various cities like Sitasaran Hotel and Nepal Technical  Institute in Janakpur, Pasupatiplace in Lahan, and other some supervision sites. On the other  hand, because of my job I could not be able to expand my career every day the same work, same  plan, and same site and as a result, I could learn other things and could not continue my higher  education. In fact, after 8 months I decided to leave my job and continue my education. Finally,  on 15th September 2017, I left that company and started to search for my course and the best  universities. 

REASON FOR GAP 

Totally, I have a 14th-month gap. Initially, I had been working as a supervisor from 12th January  2017 to 15th September 2017. After this, I started to prepare the IELTS course by individual and  a month after I took the IELTS exam on 12th October 2017 but I scored only overall 5. Then, I  thought that I had to take the IELTS class and well prepare than on 28th November 2017 I joined  the IELTS class at IDEC. Therefore, after 3rd months I took again the IELTS exam on 3rd  March 2018. 

ACCOMMODATION 

I always prefer to live in a peaceful and lovely atmosphere where I can enjoy the environment  and I can live happily in live. So, I think the Joondalup area in Perth is much better for me in  terms of living because it is only 41 KM from Perth Airport, Perth. In addition, It is the state  capital and largest city of West Australia. It is also the 4th most populist city in Australia.  Similarly, it has numerous festivals and entertaining activities such as Rooftop movies, Perth  Brazilian Carnival, Fringe World, Perth Festival and so on. The climate conditions of this city  are pretty changeable and people are friendly, good shopping places and various restaurants.  Therefore, it is an appropriate place for living. On the other hand, the house rent is so cheap at  around $150 to $250 per week with 1- 3 bed, 2-1 bathroom, and 1-2 car parks so I think it is  cheaper and I can easily afford to live in this range of home rent. That’s why; I have chosen to  live in Perth city rather than another city in Australia. 

WHY I SELECT TO STUDY IN AUSTRALIA 

When I finished my Diploma in Civil Engineering course I had a number of opportunities to  continue my higher degree in my home country. There are some universities like TU (Tribuhan  University), PU (Purbanchal University) and PU (Pokhara University) had been offering a good  Bachelor in Civil Engineering course but they were teaching traditional style and mainly a  concern of them to focus on theoretical skills than practical skills. Similarly, they did not provide  much more individual skills and research fields. But, it is very necessary for me to having project  management, knowledge and technique to meet the objectives of any project and better practical  knowledge and research skills so these qualifications can lead to a very smart and modern career  for me to challenge, creativity and success. Likely, it is also essential to having such practical  skills like surveying, leveling, planning supervising, and monitoring, which help to build a better  engineering career. In the end, I have found Australia is a reachable destination for those skills in  terms of a Bachelor in Civil Engineering for international students. Most of the Australian 

Universities are well recognized, affordable and reasonable tuition fees, good accommodation,  provide numerous research fields, working opportunities, better practical fields, and other several  things convinced me to study in Australia. 

WHY AUSTRALIA OVER OTHER COUNTRY 

When I was searching about the UK, USA, Canada, Australia education system on the internet, I  found Australia is one of the most emerging popular education hubs for international students.  Unlikely, the USA, Canada, UK, etc. there is a wide disparity between Australia and other  foreign countries. Unlike in the USA, Australia is the safest place in the world when it comes to  immigrants. Similarly, it has the lowest crime rate and violence among women and children.  Unlikely, Australia, the inexorable rise of crime and depredation is always discouraging the  international students this has been the main hardly that refrain student going to those countries.  Compare with the USA and UK, the tuition fees and living costs are always cheaper in Australia,  which is reasonable and affordable for me. In addition, many Australian Universities offer a  number of scholarships for both undergraduate and postgraduate students which helps to lower  the tuition fees of education. Similarly, Australia provides quality education with practical  knowledge and a multi-faced approach. Australia also provides a competitive environment with  up to date infrastructure. Furthermore, the climate conditions are similar to my home country. In  addition, Australia also provides post-study work after the completion of the course which will  be more beneficial for students to utilize the education in the related field. To sum up, there is  evidence to suggest that Australia is a much better place for my destination than in other  countries.  

REASON FOR CHOOSING DIPLOMA IN SCIENCE (Engineering Studies) LEADING  TO BACHELOR IN CIVIL ENGINEERING 

When I completed my SLC (School Living Certificate) I had several opportunities in fronts of  me such as commerce, education, science, and other technical fields. But I was quite interested in  construction work like building, highway, railway, bridge, road, and tunnel so I thought it is a  quite interesting and much better option for me to choose a civil engineering course. Then, I  enrolled in a Diploma in Civil Engineering after SLC. Fortunately, I got 4th times scholarships in  my college during that course so it can be proved that my choice is a really important choice in  my life. However, during my diploma course, I have only learned basic information about  different construction works like understanding the map, managing the work, estimating the  work and checking the work accurately according to plan. On the other hand, I could not get  much more information about my engineering course during my Diploma course due to a lack of  expert teachers and ignorance of collage’s responsibility. But, I want to become a Bridge  Engineer so of course, I have to study the first-year Diploma in Science with Engineering and  next year I will start Bachelor in Civil Engineering because in the first year I can improve my  basic technological information as well English fluency after that I can easily be able to  understand and solve any serious difficulties during my Undergraduate course. That’s why I  chose this course. On the other hand, if I can finish this course I will work in an exciting  environment, I will gain a lot of practical experience, I will gain a good graduate starting salary  and I will learn valuable transferrable skills. To sum up, I think studying for a Bachelor in Civil  Engineering is one of the golden opportunities for me or my career.

WHY I HAVE CHOSEN THIS COURSE IN UNIVERSITY NAME RATHER THAN  OTHER UNIVERSITIES IN AUSTRALIA. 

There are total 35institution in Australia offer bachelor in civil engineering courses but I chose  University name for obtaining the Bachelor in Civil Engineering due to various reasons.  First University name comes to World University Ranking 2018 (501-600) and it is the top  public university in Australia for student satisfaction. Secondly, high caliber staff with extensive  experience also pulled me toward University name. Similarly, University name has very  reasonable tuition fee and accommodation and their international selections been also easy  according to other universities such as University name (A$32400 annual tuition fee), The  University name (A$45168), University name (A$39500) and many more universities have a  higher tuition fee. Furthermore, some places like Sydney, Melbourne, and Addled are too  expensive for living and shopping and these cities are also very crowded. All of them, I think  University name is much suitable for my course of Bachelor in Civil Engineering because  University name is young, dynamic, regional university, it has become internationally recognized for performing practical, world-class research that delivers high impact solutions. Its research  and training programs positive the university to support Australia’s innovation agenda, play a  major role in regional development, and excellence that informs and inspires its learning and  teaching program. Its annual tuition fee only A$26200 as well as it offers international  scholarships. In addition, the University name annual fee is only A$XXXXX for the first-year  Diploma in Science students and the second year is A$XXXXX for international students.  Therefore, I think the University name is the best option for my course including tuition fees,  living costs, traveling, insurance, and other things. 

University name has three main collages; South West campus in Bunbury, Joondalup collage and  Mount Lawley collage. But, I have selected South West Campus because it is located in Bunbury  and only two hours drive south of Perth. It is the largest university campus outside the  metropolitan area and it has modern facilities, small class sizes, a comprehensive range of  courses and on-campus accommodation. There have been some attractions like Cape Naturaliste  Lighthouse and Discovery Centre, Jewel Cave, Bunbury Dolphin Discovery Centre, Vally of the  Giants Tree Top Walk, Diamond Tree and other various cultural and historical attractions. The  South West region is one of the nine regions of Western Australia. It is that name because it is  located in the south-west corner of Western Australia. So, I think the South West Campus is one  of the best and appropriate places for accommodation. 

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS OF DIPLOMA IN SCIENCE IN ECC LEADING TO  BACHELOR IN CIVIL ENGINEERING IN UNIVERSITY NAME. 

For Diploma in Science leading to a Bachelor in Civil Engineering, applicants especially  international students should have minimum English requirements; academic IELTS an overall  band score of 5.5, with no individual band less than 5.0, Pearson Test of English (PTE) academic  49, with no score less than 49 for course with the current requirement of Academic IELTS 6.  Similarly, the qualification of Higher Secondary School Certificate from the Higher Education  Board or Equivalent in Nepal; Standard Entry 65% and Higher Entry 78% and other some  University Essential entry requirements. 

MY FUTURE PLAN OR CAREER PLAN UPON SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF  SELECTED COURSE OF STUDY FROM AUSTRALIA 

I have earlier mentioned it I want to become a Bridge Engineer. So, when I will finish my  undergraduate course from University name then I will apply to extend my visa duration so I can  apply for a postgraduate course. Similarly, I will research various things about World Top Bridge  and their techniques as well as I will be preparing my next course or Master in Bridge  Engineering. In addition, I will have to choose the best and affordable Bridge Engineering  Course in Australian Universities. Thus, I will apply for my postgraduate course at the best  Engineering University in Australia after the completion of this course. 

After completion of my course Master in Bridge Engineering, I prefer my own country to share  my knowledge, technique, and experience. I have been raised in a family that has always upheld  the responsibilities of life and accountability to one’s native grounds. Receiving an affiliation  from a reputed university in Australia, I understand the value of it, and it will help me immensely  in attending a qualified position to work here in Nepal. Thus, I consider this program to be an  important stepping stone to a successful career path with the uniqueness of the university in  leadership, innovation, and support. I will abide by Australian laws and will not break any  student visa conditions while studying in Australia. So, when I return to Nepal with this excellent  qualification, I will be in demand for a prestigious career at the reputed company. There are  various international companies investing in our economic field of Hydropower, Bridge,  Commercial Building, Highway, Flyover and Ground Tunnel Construction sector. I am confident  I will avail of a position as project planner at the immediate after I graduate in the next 7 years.  In fact, when I will join these multi-national construction companies I will pay less than  NPR30000 monthly but after my experiences, it will be increased by more than NPR25000 to  60000 monthly. On the other hand, I can develop a career to a high level and become a project  manager or project director. It would be a life-changing opportunity indeed.  

UNDERSTANDING THE VISA CONDITIONS THAT I MUST satisfy WHILST  STUDYING ON A STUDENT VISA IN AUSTRALIA 

According to Australia Student Visa Conditions, there have been several terms and conditions to  apply for a student visa in Australia such as in 8105(work limitation), 8202(meet course  requirements), 8501(maintain health insurance), 8516(maintain eligibility), 8517(maintain  education for dependants), 8533(inform education provider of address) and 8532(<18 approval  welfare). I have gone through all these terms and conditions and I must satisfy with these rules. 

I look forward to a positive response to my application and hope to get an opportunity to study at  your University.
