Before applying for an Australian Student Visa, it is important to understand the necessary requirements. One of the most difficult visa requirements is a Statement of Purpose (SOP) or similarly, a Genuine Temporary Entrant (GTE) Statement. Both of these statements are written documents that share your intent to study in Australia with a government case officer. Without hiring expert SOP writers like GTE Experts, students make common SOP mistakes that cost them a visa and a dream. Today, we will share with you one of the most common SOP mistakes that you are making in your Statement of Purpose.
“I have considered your educational background and I have afforded this fact some weight in reaching my decision. I note that you have not tried to enter any other studies since then. While I accept that there might be no need for that earlier, I find that you have not considered any other options prior to choosing Australia.”
For this refused SOP example from China, his visa was denied because he did not attempt to study or research alternative education options in his home country before applying for an Australian Student Visa. While writing your Statement of Purpose, it is important to prove you have considered obtaining your degree from colleges, universities, or institutions in your home country. If you are still choosing to apply for an Australian Student Visa, clearly state why your home countries’ courses will not provide the same value as the courses you are proposing to study in Australia. Your case officer will always consider the amount of money and effort that goes into studying in Australia, so you need to make sure an Australian Student Visa is the best option to benefit your future.
“You have provided limited details in relation to your reasons for wishing to study in Australia and you have not provided sound reasons for not undertaking similar course in your home country or in any other country.”
So, you’ve researched education options in your home country and they just don’t stack up to those in Australia. It’s not enough to simply state this fact. While writing your Statement of Purpose, always provide a wide range of details. What learning experiences do these Australian courses provide that your home country does not? Are there unique student research studies or internship opportunities that will help benefit your future career? These details are crucial toward the decision of your Australian Student Visa, yet they are one of the most common SOP mistakes potential students make.
