Letter of motivation

Question

I am a Dutch citizen and I am planning to study at a Dutch University. However, the programme I want to study at that university is taught in English, so I need to write my letter of motivation in English. Until now, I was doing fine, but there is one question I have to answer which I don't really understand, namely: "What are your interests with regard to (or regardless of) your current education?". I don't understand what they mean by that question, so I hope you can help me.

Thanks a lot

That is a very strange question indeed.

With regards to your current eduction is asking what you are studying, what you enjoy and are good at academically, and probably your future study goals.

Regardless of your current education is quite strange - it means discounting your current education, what are your interests...

It doesn't make much sense really. I have no idea what they want from you. Are you sure you copied the question down 100% accurately and in its entirety?

Yes, I copied the question accurately and entirely <img class='emoticon' style='Width:19px;Height:19px;' data-delaysrc='https://uat-englishforward-forums-backend.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Emoticons/1.gif' src='https://uat-englishforward-forums-backend.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Emoticons/1.gif' alt='Emotion: smile'/> But if 'with regards to your education' means what you enjoy and are good at academically', than 'regardless to your education' probably means what my hobbies and interests are outside school?

I would guess so - it's badly phrased though. 'Regardless to' doesn't really mean that.
