In your Statement of Purpose (SoP): Make sure to demonstrate an understanding of what software engineering is, your familiarity with the specific goals of the program, and your interest in the program’s content. If your main interest is in a specific application domain (e.g., machine learning, data science, cyber-physical systems, security, natural language processing, e-health, autonomous computing, computer vision) or in a computing field other than software engineering, discuss why M.S.-SE is the right program for you. You should also explain how your main interests can benefit from a degree with core skills in software engineering. Show awareness of the differences between software engineering and other computing fields in which you have an interest.
