For admission to universities/institutions in the UK, providing an SOP (statement of purpose) with other admission documents is an essential requirement. However, the general format for the SOP remains the same for all the countries i.e. similar kinds of facts/information has to be mentioned in the SOP, but the length of SOP varies depending upon the country in which you are planning to study abroad. For UK's universities/institutions' admission applications, the ideal length of the SOP is in between 700-1000 words. You can try out this below-described SOP format for UK universities.

SOP Sample for UK: Masters in Data Science
I am xxxx born on xxxx and having
Indian citizenship by birth. I did very well in previously completed academic qualifications i.e.
secured 1st division in secondary (10th) & senior
secondary (12th) school level exams and at the college level of
studies (Bachelor of Technology degree in computer engineering). Also, I scored an overall band score of
6.5 with no individual modules less than 6.0 (exam date: xxxxx). And now I have
made the plans to pursue MSc Data Science course at University of
Wolverhampton. Rapidly increasing demand of data scientists in India clearly
reflects that having detailed working expertise in the respective field can
directly enable an individual to seek one of the best career options in the coming
future in India.
After this, in order to find some suitable course option for the same I explored various national level of institutions i.e. IIT’s, NIT’s and regional institutions i.e. Hindustan Institute of Technology and Science and found that master of technology course is offered by these institutions in data science and engineering. But on analyzing these facts: (a) at very few institutions in India, advanced resources/equipments/tools are available for study/research in the field of data science and (b) to get exposure of latest working methodologies/techniques related to the field of data science, it is a more appealing option to pursue a course in the domain of data science at an abroad institution, I shifted my attention towards finding a suitable course option in data science in abroad countries.
I explored various destinations in abroad for it i.e. USA, UK, Australia and New Zealand etc. But these below-described facts attracted my attention towards studying further in UK: (a) UK is considered as 2nd top study abroad destinations in the world, offering world-class infrastructural/technological resources for higher education, (b) a number of globally recognized institutions in UK are offering MS in Data Science programs i.e. University of Manchester, University of Leeds or The University of Wolverhampton etc. (c) courses offered at institutions in UK are having shorter course lengths, (d) tuition fees costs are lower at UK’s institutions in comparison to the institutions in USA and (e) UK, being one of the most developed nation, offers world-class living standards. After this I researched in detail about institutions in the UK, offering master degree courses in data science and found it more appealing to study at University of Wolverhampton; it is placed among world’s top 1000 institutions offering high-quality, industry-focused education and has been awarded with silver ratings for its teaching excellence by Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) as well. Considering the tuition fee costs, master of data science course at University of Wolverhampton is one of the most cost-effective study options in the UK to pursue a master degree credential in data science and to further reduce the financial burden to the international students, University of Wolverhampton offers a range of scholarships and awards as well. On exploring the curriculum details of respective course option at University of Wolverhampton, I found it one of the best compatible course options to grasp an advanced level of knowledge regarding all the essential concepts, relevant to the field of data science i.e. database designing, statistical techniques for data analysis, data manipulation techniques and data mining techniques etc.
On completing the respective course at the University of Wolverhampton I am fully determined about returning back to my home country (India). By having a master of data science degree credential, a much promising career is possible in my home country as demand of data scientists is getting intensified, year by year. India’s top IT firms i.e. TCS, Accenture, Mindtree or HCL Technologies and e-commerce companies i.e. Amazon India, Nykaa E-Retail Pvt. Ltd, One97 Communications Limited etc. are one of the best options for seeking future employment in field of data science as these offer one of the most lucrative working opportunities to data scientists i.e. offer highly competitive salaries. Moreover researching about the salaries offered for data science allied working job roles i.e. data analyst, data scientist, data engineer or database administrator etc. I found that in domain of data science, an initial starting salary in between 06-08 lakhs annually can be expected with reputed Indian employers.
