STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

Introduction: My name is Applicant Name, son of Parents Name born on 3rd October 1999  and I am a permanent resident of Biratnagar-04, Morang, Nepal. I have always had a prodigious  willingness to have an international degree, to learn in a multicultural environment, to groom  myself in an advanced, sophisticated and modern corporate culture so that I can compete in this  competitive world and for this my parents have been my motivational factors. Therefore, I have  decided to study a Diploma of Information Technology Networking + Advanced Diploma of  Network Security at University Name. 

Academic Background: Talking about my educational background and qualifications, I have always been a genuine and  diligent student. I have completed by secondary level namely School Leaving Certificate (SLC)  in Nepal in Year securing good grades of Score from School Name, Biratnagar. Similarly, I  have passed my higher secondary education in Year (known as +2 level in Nepal) from College  Name in science stream securing Score Then, as per my further study plan, I appeared for  IELTS Examination held on Date, where I was able to get an overall band score of XX 

(Listening-XX, Reading- XX, Writing- XX and Speaking-XX 

Why Australia rather than other countries? I undertook a lot of research relating higher education in my own country, as well as other  countries like US, UK, Germany, University Name in Finland, Australia, Denmark, New  Zealand, India, China and finally, chose Australia as my study destination. After my research, I  came to know that Australia has multicultural and peaceful cities, mild climate with a high quality education. Furthermore, students who study in Australia can take advantage of the  country’s impressive technology and research resources. Besides the United States and the UK,  Australia is the best destination for international students to go for further studies. Australia has  got some of the best colleges in the world if we look at the list of top colleges in the world. I  found that after getting a degree from universities of Australia, students achieve practical  knowledge and they can perform excellence in a workplace around the globe. Studying  information technology is very sensitive as there are very new innovation and technological  advance day by day. Technologically, Australia is advance, forward-thinking country and their  innovation and technology have profited millions around the world and faster than other  countries. For instance, Millennium is the highest rates of internet access in the world. Millions  of people around the globe rely on Australian innovation. With a population of about 23 million,  Australia has already received 15 Nobel Prize. 

The cost of studying IT is extensively lower in Australia than they are in the United States and  the United Kingdom. It is a fact that the USA is a better destination for IT students due to its  highest level of 

technological advancement but the specific requirement like SAT (Scholastic Assessment Test)  and ACT (American College Testing) for the universities were time and money consuming as  well as news about gun violence and terrorist attacks was also threatening. Australia has a  modern education, highly educated culture with a thirst for knowledge and research. In order to  make a high standard, the system is carefully regulated by an Australian government. There are 

incredible support services from colleges of Australia for whatever students need to beat the  troubles of being an international student, relating with the study, language improvement or  social engagement For me, studying should not get only focused on the course syllabus rather it  means learning new ideas, new cultures, the way how to get involved and participate in overall  development that could build up a strong confidence to grab the future goal. International student  gets oppoitunities for specialized research training that develops skills in research and get  knowledge of new technology and development. Also, Australia has The Education Services for  Overseas Students (ESOS) framework which protects the rights of international students  studying in Australia and Tuition protection service (TPS) which ensure international student to  complete their studies in an alternative institution or refund their unspent tuition fees if a suitable  alternative is not found. Moreover, the Post Study Work (PSW) which allows international  students to work temporarily in Australia that helps students to widen and broaden their  knowledge and gain experience which we can utilize to provide services to the nation.Hence,  these are the realistic facts and reasons that have convinced me to choose Australia as my study  destination. 

Why not my home country, Nepal? Though IT courses are available here in Nepal along with opportunities, there is lack of  graduates in our country. There are few educational institutions which provide education on  course related to Information Technology. Not only that, but the education here is also theory based rather than practical and provides facilities. I discussed with my father briefly about giving  continuity to my further study in my home nation or in abroad. After understanding the education  system of my country we preferred abroad for my further education. Also, it has been more than  decades that I have been studying in Nepal and now I want to study in a different environment  where I will have an opportunity to meet people from different nations so that we can exchange  ideas and culture too. Nepalese qualification is not globally competitive in compare with an  Australian degree. So along with the full support of my father I preferred Australia for my  further education. 

Why Sydney? I have decided to go to Sydney because it is rated top for international students. It is a well planned metropolitan city with top-notch transportation along with the peaceful environment and  world-class telecommunication facilities. Sydney is Australia’s financial and educational hub  where many prestigious colleges and universities are located in offering world-class education. It  is a multicultural city where thousands of international students come to fulfil their educational  ambition. Moreover, the climate in Sydney is similar to Nepal, thus it won’t be harder for me to  live 

there sustainably. So, studying in Sydney will definitely give me international exposure to shape  up my career. 

The reasons to choose University Name. With the decision of studying VET course and going through the Diploma of IT Networking and  Advanced Diploma of Network Security, I started searching for VET providers. There were  hundreds of education providers and choosing one from them was really difficult. After doing  plenty of research finally I chose UNIVERSITY NAME because I believe it is one of the most 

exhaustive and globally recognized institutions in Australia that offers many programs and  courses over the wide range of study area. Besides this, its extensive student support service that  aims to endeavour for international students to gain academically, socially and culturally is very  impressive in comparison to support services that other institutions in Australia provide.  UNIVERSITY NAME offers practical industrial experiences that will be really good for me and  also offers tremendous experienced and highly qualified teachers as well as they have significant  industry real-life experience and take that in the class. UNIVERSITY NAME also aims to  provide us and professionals with increased skills to enable us to enter and compete in the  Australian marketplace. Its training offerings start with introducing students from schools and  universities to the employment market through job readiness courses. The digital infrastructure  supports a place where students, employers, and educators engage and participate in learning and  assessment, with access to information and learning support services. Studying in modern,  outstanding campus facilities with the latest pieces of equipment in UNIVERSITY NAME was  a boon for my undergraduate study. It will help to build my career. Some of its courses include  internship or industry placement opportunities, which provide students with real-world  experience. Another reason for choosing UNIVERSITY NAME is much affordable as  compared to other education providers such as TAFE NSW, Wentworth, HIBT, Strathfield,  Sydney Metro College, Pacific College, Harbour College, ATMC etc. UNIVERSITY NAME regularly hosts exciting social events, such as Australian Day breakfasts, Student Showcase  Exhibitions, and afternoon teas for their current students. UNIVERSITY NAME campus is  located in the heart of Sydney’s CBD and is easily accessible from Central Station and  Haymarket. So, after evaluating all these factors I finally chose UNIVERSITY NAME for my  further study. 

Why Diploma of Information Technology Networking and Advanced Diploma of Network  Security? 

I chose the Diploma of Information Technology Networking and Advanced Diploma of Network  Security instead of Bachelor Degree because directly going for Bachelor Degree can be hard to  understand the international concept. I don’t just want to get the degree but also the knowledge  and concept which will be very fruitful in the future. It will help me to build a good base for the  study in Bachelor and I believe that a building will only stand tall if its foundation is strong.  After completion of my Diploma of Information Technology Networking and Advanced  Diploma of Network Security, I will apply for Bachelors of Information Technology with all  possible credits in any University. Then after the bachelor degree, I will apply for PSW (Post  Study Work) which will be 

of 2 years so that I will have both International work experience as well as international degree.  Regarding the Diploma of Information Technology Networking that I have planned to pursue, it  is a qualification with a course length of 52 weeks that consists of mainly eleven elective units  and five core units and Advanced Diploma of Network Security is a qualification with a course  length of 39 weeks that consists of mainly seven elective units and five core units which are:  Design and implement a security perimeter for ICT networks, Produce technical solutions from  business specifications, Configure an enterprise virtual computing environment, Design, build  and test a network server, Contribute to copyright, ethics and privacy in an ICT environment,  implement server virtualization for a sustainable ICT system(Diploma Level),

The reasons to choose Information Technology and its future opportunities: I have been studying Computer subject from grade 4 and always got good marks in it. The reason  behind not choosing computer in my +2 level was because my parents want me to be a doctor.  So with family desire pressure in mind, i went for biology. However, IT was throughout my  mind. During high school time, i get to know more in-depth knowledge of what IT can do in the  current scenario and kept trying to convince my family. After noticing my strong desire and  career i can have, they agreed for me to go for IT subject for further studies. IT has played a vital  role in the 21st century. It is the noble field with many opportunities. All these have been  possible through information technology like telephone, fax, telex, computers, internet, email etc  and are becoming a part and parcel of our lives and are transforming lifestyles and habits of  people all over the world. IT is such a subject that incorporates new technology and its definition  keeps on changing with time. There are fun, creativity and money in this profession. I dream of  working as an IT expert or any other renowned IT firms in future. Also, there are very few  qualified IT professionals in the market due to which there is high demand for IT professionals in  the days to come. Since my childhood, I was fascinated by computer related things. The dynamic  world of IT and communication requires skilled expertise in computer technology,  telecommunication, multimedia as well as the knowledge of the network. After completing the  course I will have different opportunities like Business Analyst, ICT Project Manager, Network  Specialist, Software Developer, Web Developer, Systems Analyst in well known IT industries of  Nepal such as Nepal Telecom, Ncell, Verisk Information Technologies, Deerwalk Services,  BrainDigit IT Solution, Sprout Technology and many more. 

Financial Sponsors I am well prepared financially to continue my course in Australia. Regarding my financial  sponsorship, my entire course and stay in Australia will be sponsored by my father, mother, and  grandfather. My grandfather’s name is Grandfather name and has the pension source income of  NRS. Amount annually. Similarly, my father, Mr Father Name is a program coordinator in  Campus Name and earns a yearly income of Amount and my mother works as an operator in  Company Name. with an income of NRS. Amount in a year. 

Also, the income from land lease sums up to NRS Amount. Overall, my parents have a total  income of NRS. The amount which is equivalent to AUD Amount Currently we hold bank  balance of NRS Amount in Nepal SBI Bank Ltd. which is equivalent to AUD Amount which is  enough for my year living expenses and travelling. I have already paid for my tuition fees in  advance of AUD Amount and separately for my OSHC for the entire duration of course. I and  my parents believe that investing in education never goes waste and they are willing to spend for  my career plans in an international platform as they want me to excel further in the days ahead. I,  therefore, want to reassure that my parents are financially capable to invest in my study and stay  in Australia. 

Career Plan Studying in Australia would open up plenty of opportunities for me to excel in my career. First  of all, I will complete my Diploma and Advanced Diploma. After that, I will complete my  Bachelor. After the completion of a bachelor’s degree, I will able to gain many computers related  skills on the job that will be specific to the unique needs of the employer and company. I will get  back to my country once i have Bachelor degree along with 2 years of work experience (PSW). I 

will get my increased professional value, demand, and position offer in Nepal. Developing  country like Nepal needs numbers of skilled IT professionals to take part in developing nation.  This industry is rapidly growing and shows great potential for having a career in this field. After  pursuing bachelor degree and 2 years experience, I think I will easily get a job in leading IT  companies like Nepal Telecom, Ncell, Deerwalk, Verisk Information Technology, Avenue,  Braindigit, sprout technology and also in leading internet service providers (ISP) like Worldlink,  Broadlink, classic tech, Subishuete in different positions like network engineer, network  specialist and many other positions. Among these huge possibilities, I will prefer to work as a  Network Engineer at Nepal Telecom which is a governmental institution with a good salary and  secured future. While working as a network engineer at this prestigious institution, I hope I will  earn 70,000 to 80,000 NRS per month and I believe the salary will increase as per my  performance. Thus, an international degree will definitely make a larger impact on me  individually as well as to boost up my future. 

Visa conditions As I am applying for a student visa, I will be given the visa subclass 500. The visa allows me to  stay in Australia to study a full time. Under this visa, I will be bound to certain conditions. Most  importantly my Overseas Students Health Cover (OSHC) policy must cover the full period of my  visa. I am allowed to work a maximum of 40 hours per fortnight. I cannot undertake the work  until I have started my course. I have to maintain my attendance of at least 80% in each subject  to pass and don’t get involved in any kind of criminal activities. I must notify my education  provider/ DIBP (Department of Immigration and Border Protection) of my residential address in  Australia
