What is SOP?
SOP stands for Statement of Purpose. It is actually a long essay of around 1000 words, which you need to submit to your University in Germany. SOP helps university to understand the candidate, his goals, his life, his motivation for the chosen course and university etc, so it means, SOP has to be very effective. One thing to understand, every SOP is different. An SOP for MBA is different from an SOP for M.Sc. An SOP for Masters is different from an SOP for Bachelors.
