Section 3: Education and Employment Background

In 300 words or less, tell us why you have applied for this program, what do you know about the program and its cost,
are you aware of additional costs associated with studying in Australia? If this program is not related to your previous
studies, why have you decided to change your career path?

Upon earning a Bachelor of Physics, studying for a Master of Data Science offers appealing advantages
for my profession. To begin with, data science has emerged as a rapidly expanding discipline with
enormous promise and demand across industries. I will gain specific abilities in statistical analysis,
machine learning, data visualisation, and programming by pursuing a Master's in Data Science, which are
in great demand in the data-driven employment market. My physics education gives me a solid foundation
in mathematics, analytical thinking, and problem solving, all of which are transferable talents to data
science. This combination enables me to efficiently analyse complicated datasets, generate useful
insights, and construct predictive models, which makes me helpful in a variety of industries like technology,
finance, healthcare, and research. Furthermore, the Master's programme exposes me to industry-standard
tools, methodologies, and real-world projects, providing me with hands-on experience and increasing my
employability. In this programme, I will learn about Practical Data Science using Python, Data Wrangling,
and The Data Science Professional. This curriculum costs AU$38,400 per year, with student services and
facilities fees and my living expenses totaling AU$21041. I decided to switch from a B.S. in physics to a
Master in Data Science because it offers various advantages. It aligns with the increasing demand for
data-driven professionals, provides diverse opportunities across industries, and equips me with advanced
Section 4: Gap in Study
skills and knowledge to thrive in the rapidly evolving field of data science.
In 200 words or less, tell us about gaps in your study (if any). How long is the gap between your previous study and your
intended study at RMIT, explain the reason for the gap. Do you have any previous visa granted or refusal for Australia or
any other country? If you have visa history for Australia or any other country, please provide supporting evidence.

I completed my Bachelor in Physics in March 2023 from Comsats University and after that, I started my
research for studying abroad. So, there is no study gap to be mentioned. I have no visa history.

Section 5: Why RMIT

In 300 words or less, tell us why you have chosen to study at RMIT instead of your home country. Please list other
universities in Australia and your home country that you have researched and considered.

Academic brilliance, rich cultural diversity, and a global reputation for innovation will provide me with an
excellent educational experience in Australia. RMIT, known for its excellent educational system, offers
world-class education in a wide range of courses, giving students like me a global competitive advantage.
RMIT broadens my intellectual development and prepares me to be an innovative, adaptive, and
well-rounded professional by focusing on critical thinking, independent research, and practical skill
development. It is also a life-changing experience for me, broadening my horizons, introducing me to a
global network of peers, and opening doors to limitless possibilities. For me, earning a Master's degree in
Data Science at RMIT University will be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Throughout my bachelor's degree
in my home country,I noticed that both industrial connections and foreign academic exposure were limited.
I have chosen to enrol at RMIT University in Australia over other educational institutions. Including victoria
University under course title Master of Data science and James cook University under title Master of
Data science (Professional ) and in my homeland Bahria University offering this course with the title MS
Data science and superior university as well. Because of its good reputation, business ties, location, and
international environment, RMIT stands out as the ideal option for me to take this course instead of my
own country.

Section 6: Circumstances in Home Country

In 200 words or less, tell us if there are any current political / civil unrest or economic circumstances in your home
country that may have impacted your family and education plan.

No, there are not any political or economic issues in my country that will impact my education or family.
This stability and favourable environment will provide me with a conducive setting for pursuing my
education without disruptions. It allows me to focus on my studies and ensures the well-being and support
of my family, enabling me to make the most of my educational journey.

Section 7: Career Progression and Financial Benefit

In 200 words or less, tell us about your career pathway and intentions after you graduate from this program. How
much do you expect your monthly salary to be when you return home with an Australian qualification? How does this
compare to the salary you would receive if you studied in your own country? How do you intend to achieve this goal
and what is your incentive to return home?

My professional path will include roles such as analytics specialist, business intelligence analyst/developer,
data analyst, data architect, data engineer, data miner, research scientist, and web analyst when I
complete my Master's in Data Science. I am qualified to work in banking, healthcare, government, or
technology. A data analyst's monthly salary in Pakistan is estimated to be between PK 350,000 and PK
400,000. And, depending on my experience and skills, if I studied in my own nation of Pakistan, my
monthly wage would be less than PK 1.5 lac per month. To reach my aim, I will concentrate on getting
appropriate experience and qualifications and consistently improving my skills in the field of data science.
Returning home after studying in Australia provides me the opportunity to contribute to the development of
the homeland, apply acquired knowledge, leverage international exposure, and be closer to family and
local networks.
Section 8: Post Study Plan
In 100 words or less, tell us where you intend to permanently live and work when you complete your degree. If you
intend to work temporarily in Australia once you complete your degree, which visa subclass you intend to apply for to
work in Australia?

I will permanently live and work in my homeland, Pakistan, after my studies. No, I did not have any
intention to live In Australia after my Degree. I think I will have a bright future in Pakistan in my line of work.
There is less competition than in Australia, and there is a significant demand for specialists in my sector.

Section 9: Declaration
I declare that I have written this statement of purpose myself, I have not had assistance writing this and the information
provided is my own work. I declare that I am a genuine student and a genuine temporary entrant to Australia. I also declare
that I have sufficient funds to cover the cost of my tuition fees and living expenses for the duration of my studies.
