Statement of purpose

Introduction and academics:

I, Gurkaranpreet Singh, would first of all like to express my sincere thanks to you for my application
perusal. Through this statement of purpose, I would like to give brief personal details, academic details
and would like to state the reasons to choose this country and this specific course of study. I was born on
03/08/2001 to parents Charnjit Singh (father) and Parmjit Kaur (mother). I am an Indian citizen and hail
from Fatehgarh Sahib, in the state of Punjab. I hold a valid Indian passport with number U5407260.

Academically, I have completed my secondary school education from Punjab school education board in
2018. In 2020, I have completed my senior secondary school education from the same board. I see
myself as optimistic, enthusiastic and hardworking student. Since childhood, I am ambitious about
higher education that would give desired push to my career. I have a dream to pursue my further
education from Australia. To gain admission in Australian college, I prepared myself for IELTS exam and
appeared for the same. I secured an overall band score of 6 with 7.5 in listening, 5.5 in reading, 5.5 in
writing and 6 in speaking.

Sponsorship of my education:

The entire array of expenses to be incurred in Australia on education or stay will be taken care of by my
parents. They are financially well- off and have sufficient funds of around 18 lakhs. I can dedicatedly
focus on my education without worrying about my potential expenditure to be incurred in Australia.

Why Australia for higher education?

Excellence in education:

In addition to being highly intensive in terms of knowledge imparted to the students, Australian
universities also incorporate the latest innovations, technological advances and current trends in the
industry to ensure that their programs meet the highest education standards. The emphasis is on
making education practical to meet the demands of the industry.

Globally recognised degrees:

Degrees from Australian universities are recognized and highly valued by companies and other
educational institutes across the world. As a result of this, Australia is an exceedingly popular
destination for international students and currently has around 2.5 million international students.

Affordability:

Most courses in Australia are designed to be shorter but are packed with an educational punch. Students
learn plenty from their programs, which delve intensively into the coursework. As a result of these
shortened programs, Australian universities tend to be a lot cheaper than those offered by their
counterparts in other popular education destinations. Living expenses in Australia are also far more
reasonable when compared to the UK or US.

Diversity in culture and society:

Among the most culturally diverse cultures in the world, Australia is home to people from around 200
countries. The country has a reputation for being safe, friendly, quite laid-back and peaceful.
International students are readily accepted by their fellow students and professors.

Why not India for higher education?

The overall standard of Indian education doesn't seem to have improved much over the years to
compare with the educational facilities offered in developed countries. The practical application of
theoretical concepts is still lacking in a large segment of Indian classrooms. Students are spoon-fed and
have to put up with rote learning as the educational system largely continues to follow the conventional
school teaching methods. Lecturers fail to make the classes interesting, which can be brought alive
through adopting an interactive approach and use of modern technology. As the conventional teaching
system continues in many schools and colleges, students don't enjoy the privilege or the freedom to
experiment. The Indian degrees are not much recognized globally. In job market, Indian degrees are
given lesser value as compared to other nations. The biggest drawback that the Indian Educational sector
has is reservation of seats for backward classes. This leaves general category students with lesser
number of seats in reputed colleges. The Indian education system judge students based on their
academic record and not on the general presentation.

Certificate III + IV in commercial cookery and diploma of hospitality management from Sunshine
College of Management, Australia:

I have decided to pursue certificate in commercial cookery and diploma of hospitality management as
this field is booming in India at high pace. The number of job opportunities for this sector is endless. This
when combined with my passion and love for cooking, has pursued me to establish a career in this field.
Certificate III in Commercial Cookery will help students learn the fundamentals of cooking and prepare
them to join the cooking industry. This course will tell students about the skills one needs to have and
develop the knowledge about cooking. Certificate IV will increase global potential. This course will
prepare students for kitchen, team, and finance management. In certificate IV, one could go on an
international tour to explore different global cooking trends. Diploma of Hospitality management
qualification reflects the role of highly skilled senior operators who use a broad range of hospitality skills
combined with managerial skills and sound knowledge of industry to coordinate hospitality operations.
They operate independently, have responsibility for others and make a range of operational business
decisions.

like commercial cookery and hospitality, business courses etc. It has highly experienced and qualified

for a successful career. It is a leading institute for excellence in teaching vocational courses attracting

success in today's and tomorrow's world. By choosing to study in this college, I will have the practical,
academic and professional experience and shall be capable enough to enter in this competitive world.

Future roadmap:

The chosen course is very beneficial to me. I believe that getting an international degree, I will be having
enough confidence regarding my knowledge and skills. Returning back home, carrying lot of practical
knowledge and immense exposure, I shall be capable enough to launch myself in this competitive world
& make my parents proud by grabbing a reputed job. I will gain experience in Commercial cookery and
hospitality by joining any of the reputed leading hotels and restaurants. I can work with following group
of hotels namely Hyatt, JW Marriott, Radisson, etc. I can work on the designation of Commercial chef,
Food stylist or photographer, Hospitality Manager, or Kitchen Manager.

I wish to state that on the completion of my course, I will return back to my home country owing to high
prospects and career scope for such roles in India. I wish to thank you for my application perusal. I
request you to consider my application and do the needful.

Thanks and regards
