Pursuing a Career in Global Institutions: My Statement of Purpose

It is my ambition to work in global institutions like United Nations, International law or in Regional alliances. Therefore, I am applying for the Masters of Political Science (Conflict Analysis and Management) at the Kent State University for the fall session.

Thanks to my fast progress within the Master’s curriculum. I have decided that studying and doing research are things I would like to devote myself to even more. I have studied Power and Politics and Theoretical Perspective in Sociology from Tribhuvan University, Nepal. While I was doing my Masters and during the tenure of writing my Thesis, I found out that the interaction between individuals and their environment is most interesting, intriguing and complex. More specifically, this interest developed in the direction of politics. What is the role and significance of media, journalism and information in shaping public opinion? Although, I have completed my Masters and fulfills all my expectations, I sensed the vision of Political Science is so wide and have noticed that in the field of politics there are many influencing factors.

Knowledge from other disciplines, as well as from other cultures, is what makes this field so intricate, but all the more interesting. As the profile of the Master’s degree in Political Science at the Kent State University is highly international and multidisciplinary, I believe that your program is a perfect addition to the knowledge I have already obtained. I consider it to be a most valuable experience to get the opportunity to meet students from all over the world and learn about their cultures and (corresponding) norms and values. Furthermore, courses like Conflict Analysis and Management, International Policies and Integration would give me more insight. Considering the profile with having done with Master’s degree in Sociology at the Tribhuvan University, I am confident that enrolling once again as a Graduate student will bring me one step closer to reach my goal to work in global institutions like United Nations, International law or in Regional alliances.

I consider myself to be a highly motivated and diligent student; during my Bachelor and my Master so far, I have not failed one exam or an assignment of any kind. I am certain to push through with the dedication I have always worked with to accomplish my goals and gain more knowledge and insight in political science. My interest in politics emerges also from my experience because I am born in that environment where my parents are connected with politics. With their acknowledgment, I got the opportunity to meet the political dignitaries of Nepal, attended meetings, determine political campaigning activities, design accurate slogans and texts for campaign purposes and devote myself to offline and online political campaigning.

Science at the Kent State University is an opportunity I would like to grab with both hands and I hope that, during my stay in Barcelona and alongside or within this Master, I will find more challenges and activities I can engage myself in.

Considering my academic performance so far and my desire to enrich my own and others’ knowledge in political science, I am convinced that I will be a valuable addition to the program. I hope to be given this chance, as I am confident that I am capable of meeting and even exceeding your expectations.

Thank you for considering my application.
