Letter of Motivation to University
Hi guys,
I am applying for a Master program at the UvA and I need help with my motivation letter. I would be grateful for any kind of feedback on my first draft!
Thanks,
Anna
Dear Sir or Madam,Hereby I would like to outline my motivation for applying for the Master program in International Business with the study specialization Information Management. My name is Anna XXX, I was born and raised in , Russia and moved to at the age of 11. After finishing my A-Levels in I have completed my Bachelor in Infonomics (Economics and Business in the Information Society) at the . During my studies I have spent a semester abroad in where I have followed courses in Economics and Sociology. Furthermore I have taken part in a study project in to do research on the Vietnamese economy and its current development. I am fluent in German, Russian, English and Spanish and have basic skills in Dutch and French.Before and especially during my studies I have developed a strong interest towards the area of information technology and information management. Its numerous ever-changing possibilities and its importance to every industry present an exciting challenge which I want to pursue in my professional career. Thus, after having finished my Bachelor I have completed an internship in the SAP-department of Medtronic. I have learned to work with SAP and complementing tools but even more importantly I have experienced everyday IT-problems and obstacles faced by a multinational company. After this internship I have started another internship at Altran CIS in the field of IT-Consulting which I am currently following. In spite of the interesting and challenging practical experience it was always clear to me that I will follow a Master program before I start working. My first choice is , for several reasons. First of all, the study program International Business with its specialization in Information Management perfectly fits my interests and my previous career. Second, UvA’s academic achievements, national and international appraisals and overall tremendous reputation will surely open many doors to its alumni. Third, I am very enthusiastic about the wide range of different nationalities among ’s students since I have an international background myself and I would love to be part of this versatile community. Last but not least, the country and the city themselves are very attractive to me. Having studied in the Netherlands for three years already I have grown to appreciate the funny and open-minded Dutch culture and also the language which I have started to learn; Amsterdam itself has particularly thrilled me after my first visit: Its architecture, variety and unique atmosphere make me want to live in this city and experience its special charm day to day.I am sure that I will make a positive contribution to the University of Amsterdam: through the special Problem-Based Learning method practiced at the Universiteit Maastricht I have refined my analytical skills, my ability to efficiently work in teams and I have learned to approach problems in a practical, goal-oriented way. Of course I have also received a broad academic background in the fields of business, economics and mathematics. Last but not least I will contribute to the student community because I am open-minded, internationally oriented and can easily adapt to different environments.I hope that you will consider my candidature and look forward to hear from you.Kind regards,
Anna

Hi, My overall reaction is that you need to break this into paragraphs, each dealing with a particular point. That will allow the reader to understand you easily, and to see how you have organized your thoughts. If you do that and then repost, you may get more replies.
