I'm looking for a native speaker
Hi,
As I'm applying for an university I was to hand in a recommendation of a prof. Now I was to write the concept but I'm not sure whether it is good. Is there anyone willing to have a look at this short letter? Maybe you have something German to correct...
Bye Nina

Sorry, just a bit of fun.
I, for one, can't help you, since I'm not a native speaker myself.

Which language do you mean?
If it is the English language it would be more correct to say As I am applying for a position at a university, I need to send in a recommendation for a certain professor.

So how does the rule on "u" and "a" or "an" work (or all the vowels for that matter)?
Why is it a university, but an umbilical cord?
I'm lost :-(

Because of the pronunciation, not the spelling. University is pronounced Yooniversity (i.e. a consonant-sound rather than a vowel-sound), which means that "a university" is easy to say. By contrast, "a umbilical cord" is almost impossible to say,

There is one appropriate reply to that, but this is not the group in which to use it - someone would be sure to shout "language"!
