Letter of Motivation - Master's Degree

Hello there!

I really need your help. I am writing the letter of motivation for a Master's Degree at the university I am currently graduating at (a German one, that is why the names are in German, btw). I do not seem to find something like that on the internet and if I do, I still do not know how to use this for my own purposes. Usually I am not that bad in English writing, but if I do not know what I actually need to say, I get nervous and I mess it all up

So, please, could anyone have a look at this letter and could tell me whether it is okay? Is it too short? Did I forget something really important? Is my grammar ok? I guess the grammar and spelling is most important, since I have to proof that my English is good enough to take part in English courses. Thanks in advance!

Dear Sir or Madam,

I would like to apply for the Master‘s Degree in “Angewandte Sprachwissenschaften: Kommunikation und Fremdsprachen im Beruf“ starting in October.

My aim is to work in the field of public relations or corporate communication. Furthermore I am generally very interested in the ways I could apply the theoretical knowledge I gained in the minor subject of my Bachelor‘s Degree (“Sprache und Kommunikation”) in practice. I think the Master‘s Degree “Angewandte Sprachwissenschaften” would be appropriate for my aims, since it is the Master‘s Degree of my minor subject. Therefore I am already familiar with many theoretical aspects of linguistics and I know that one of the possible careers with a Master‘s Degree in “Angewandte Sprachwissenschaften” could be public relations or corporate communications.

I will be graduating in the Bachelor‘s Degree of “Literatur, Kultur und Medien” this September. Even though “Sprache und Kommunikation” has not been the major subject of my studies, I am confident that I gained at least some knowledge in academic working in “Literatur, Kultur und Medien” that might be useful no matter what Master‘s Degree I will take. In case more credit points are required from courses in “Sprache und Kommunikation” than I have already obtained, I am willing to catch up on the missing courses in the first semesters of the Master‘s Degree.

Thank you for considering my application.

Yours sincerely,
