Yes, you need a strong Statement of Purpose (SOP) for your Master's application in Singapore. A portfolio is required only if you are applying to design, architecture, or related programs.
For your SOP:
- Clearly explain your academic goals and how the program fits your career path.
- Highlight relevant projects, internships, or work experience.
- Show readiness for Singapore’s rigorous academic environment.
- Mention specific program features (like capstones or industry studios) that match your interests.
If your chosen program is in architecture or design, prepare a portfolio:
- Showcase your best, most relevant work.
- Organize projects logically, with brief descriptions and outcomes.
If you need help tailoring your SOP or portfolio, your LeapScholar counsellor can guide you.
