0Hello,02br 02br 00a peaceful 2007 to all of you.02br 02br 00I wrote a statement of purpose for my application at a university in Great Britain.02br 02br 00It took me several days to write and read and write again and read again and so on.02br 02br 00I also picked up some information at the board here. I did not address the statement to a 02br 02br 00special person, because the application will be assessed by a comission.02br 02br 00It would be great if someone find some minutes to read it and write me a short feedback.02br 02br 00Thank you very much in advance,02br 02br 00Christian02br 02br 00P.S. I am uncertain about the expressions in brackets02br 02br 02br 02br 00City of XXX, XX01sup00th02sup00 XXXXX 200702br 02br 02br 01b00Statement of purpose02br 02br 01b00Ref: Application for the Double Degree Program at the XXX University the academic year 2007/2008 02b02br 02br 00Dear Sir or Madam,02br 02br 00Since 2002 I study aeronautical engineering with enthusiasm at the Technische Universität XXX (TU-XXX). My special interests are in the field of aerodynamics and I am also highly interested in aerospace engines and gas turbines.02br 02br 00Fluid kinetic01font00 02font00engines are able to generate an enourmous power and furthermore temperatures inside these engines can reach extreme degrees. Therefore the components for these machines have to be precisely manufactured and have to satisfy demanding requirements. From the beginning of my studies I was fascinated by these engineering challenges. These areas of concentration still prove to be highly fascinating and satisfieing.02br 02br 00In the following text I would like to state my motivations and objectives for this application and what aims I want to reach by spending an academic year at the XXX University.02br 02br 00Global business relations and co-operation are an important element in aeronautical engineering as they are of great value to ensure success, in engineering but also economical success. Above all aerospace industries have to meet global demands. The common language for working and doing business together is English.02br 02br 00I have deliberately chosen your university with its international profile and English as medium of teaching and working to learn this technical jargon.02br 01i02br 02br 00(Additionally) 00I am convinced of the XXX University´s excellent reputation among its students and graduates. Students from a variety of countries are currently enrolled at the XXX University doing research and working together successfully on demanding scientific projects. Therefore the XXX University offers me the 01i00(once-in-a-)02i00 lifetime chance to become thouroughly aquainted with different methods and new points of view, as well as meeting fellow students from different regions and with various cultural backgrounds with whom I can exchange knowledge and experiences.02br 02br 00Teamwork demands communications skills, and patience but also the ability to structure work. I am looking forward to improving these skills in an international environment.02br 02br 00I also hope that the international student body and close links between the University and industry partners will offer me the opportunity to make contact with future employers.02br 02br 00As stated above I would love to spend an academic year at XXX University as I am convinced that it would allow me to evolve both my knowledge and my personality.02br 02br 00Spending a year abroad demands great 01i00(individual)02i00 personal commitment and industriousness. I was able to demonstrate both in various ways during my former studies. Every student at the TU-XXX is responsible for their own timetable and for structuring 01i00(organizing)02i00 their studies. During the past nine semesters I always worked conscientiously and organized my studies with the objective of becoming a Diplom-Ingenieur in aeronautical engineering rapidly and with the highest qualification01i00(s).02i02br 02br 00I completed several study projects successfully. In a team I developed a design for a 200-seat middle range civil aircraft and I also designed a power train for wind turbines. Working on these projects and also as a student assistent at the Institute of XXX at the TU-XXX has enabled me to prove my working techniques in scientific projects, my analytical abilities, and my capability to work in teams. (01i00I am a responsible student and able to work well in teams as well as independently.)02i02br 02br 00The Double Degree Program at the XXX University would offer me the 01i00(once-in-a-)02i00 lifetime opportunity to combine the knowledge I aquired in my major studies with an internationally acknowledged degree as a Master of Science in Thermal Power. I am absolutely convinced that a year at the XXX University would be an important and profitable experience which would improve my professional chances on the global market substantially.02br 02br 00I am aware that a year is a very short time to write a Master Thesis while studying at the same time. However I am highly motivated and eager to face new challenges. 01i00(I am convinced that I will be able to master this greatest challenge of my entire life.)02i02br 02br 00To be even better prepared for the coming task in case of your hopefully positive feedback I will attend a special English course in order to improve my academic writing skills.02br 02br 00I am looking forward to a personal interview and hope for your positive feedback to my application. Please contact me if you have any questions.02br 02br 00Yours sincerly02br 02br 00Christian XXX02br 02br 02i02br 02b0-
