Topic > Statement of Purpose - 955

After obtaining a bachelor's degree in Applied Psychology from Kinnaird College, Lahore, Pakistan, I felt that I should gain some practical experience and first-hand knowledge of what life is all about of a graduate in psychology entails. I have a total work experience of almost two years as a pre-school story teacher, human resources manager and exam coordinator. I wish to return to academic studies and pursue a degree in organizational and social psychology so that I can satisfy my need to specialize in my field of interest and pursue my career to become an industrial/organizational psychologist. Studying psychology has always been my passion since high school because I was intrigued by how people behave and react in different situations. It also offers a variety of unique challenges and career paths that can be deeply rewarding. This is why I selected Applied Psychology as my major during my undergraduate studies at Kinnaird College of Women, Lahore, one of the most prestigious educational institutions in Pakistan. My interest in organizational psychology began to develop during an internship as part of the undergraduate applied psychology course in “Hazards to Employee Safety and Health” at Packages Limited Pakistan. It was during this time that I learned how organizational structures, social norms, management styles, and work expectations influence people's behavior, health, and motivational performance, while simultaneously benefiting the organization as a whole. I was further motivated to carry out my final year undergraduate research on 'Organisational culture and its impact on the performance, leadership behaviours, diversity, skills and development planning of working engineers......a half of the work......tutions in Pakistan, I was looking to pursue a Masters program in a globally renowned institution London School of Economics is a globally recognized institution and is located in the heart of one of my favorite cities in the world. I would consider it a privilege to be able to pursue graduate studies at the London School of Economics and take advantage of the excellent facilities and opportunities it has to offer. My academic and professional background are suited to the programme Organizational and Social Psychology offered at LSE I am confident that my enthusiasm will help me cope with the rigors of university studies and contribute as a dedicated student and professional, but above all as a human being. I look forward to joining the Organizational and Social Psychology graduate program and having a mutually beneficial association with the London School of Economics.
