Sample Sop for applying for MA in Language and literature at Oxford University

Literature is the replica of society. Literature allows a person to step back in time and learn about life on Earth from the ones who walked before us. English Literature studies help us understand our world in all its social, political, economic and cultural aspects through stories, novels, poems, and plays.

My career goal is to teach at the university level and research the relationship between literature and culture. For that I want to pursue a Master's Degree in English Literature. 

As I love literature since my early years, I can relate with characters, when I am deeply absorbed into novels and short stories. Telling stories, participating in debates and participating in dramas are some of the activities I love doing. Besides, my passion for English Literature encouraged me to explore different extra-curricular activities.

I also persued Four MOOC courses on psychology, which help me analyze the depth of literature.I would like to mention that as a part of our academic course, I have participated in more than 30 seminars and workshops. 

I would acknowledge that literature has significantly helped me broaden my insight.As I aspire to establish myself as an English teacher in India, I believe that a globally recognized degree will significantly complement my efforts to take me to my career goals. 

As one of the the top universities in the world, I would like to be a part of the progressive academic ambiance at your institution. I promise to deliver my best in terms of academic performance and peer learning.
