Letter of motivation for masters in neuroscience

hello everyone, am applying for masters in neuroscience. Here is my letter of motivation, kindly go through and make the necessary corrections and criticisms. Please note is a new field, my B.Sc these is not related to the M.sc programme but i offered a course during my undergraduate days.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to express my interest in applying for a master’s degree program in neuroscience in University of Bremen. I graduated from Kogi State University Anyigba, Nigeria, one of the top-ranked state university in the country and I awarded a Bachelor of Science degree in Biological Sciences with a CGPA of 4.33/5.00. After graduation, I worked as a high school Biology teacher and also had an internship program with Kogi State University Biological Sciences laboratory. I believe my educational background would enable me make a strong contribution in your university.

After graduation my curiosity for plant Biology vaporized, I then shifted my focus to neuroscience which I find really fascinating because of the brain’s ability to learn, how memories are created, connected and how neuronal circuits come together to give rise to extremely sophisticated cognitive processes. Hence, my research interest is focused on Understanding how the memory process works and develops. These two aspect of brain functionality are key points to address solution for neurological disorders that involve one or both processes.

In addition, further studies in neuroscience will provide me with a better understanding of the functions of the normal human brain. This will equip me with the needed knowledge to improve our understanding of neurological disorders such as depression and Alzheimer.

After completing my M.Sc. I hope to continue working as a researcher in the neuroscience field. I also consider the option of having a parallel teaching career in the future, because I find the idea of sharing knowledge with other people extremely fulfilling.

Furthermore, I want to study in University of Bremen because the main focus of the programme is on cognitive neuroscience which is my area of scientific interest. Also, because of its excellent reputation in neuroscience and the number of graduates are quite low which provides the opportunity to interact with the highly qualified teachers/professors every day.

In addition, if I am selected for this programme, I will have the opportunity to learn from the best and the fact that I will study in an international environment will give me the opportunity to create new relationships with people from different cultures.

Finally, I strongly believe my academic qualification and laboratory experience, joined with my passion, enthusiasm, commitment and perseverance will allow me to fit perfectly into your program. I look forward to join this program in order to satisfy my thirst for knowledge in neuroscience and prove my abilities.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Yours sincerely

Edison Mark
