The online Application Form includes a section in which you must upload your "statement of purpose". In other words, you will be required to describe exactly what you wish to study.This statement should be precise and brief (no more than 2 pages in length). It should not be a personal life history; it should contain only such personal details as will aid the Admissions Committee in evaluating your application.
