Motivation Letter for University in England

Hey everyone,

I become totally desperate by writing a motivation letter for an english University.

You would be a very big help if you could give me some good advises. I really have no idea what and how to write...

Here is my version (please be kind, I never did someting like this before ) :

Dear Sir or Madam

My name is ***** ********, I am 22 years old and I have been studying International Management, at the University of Applied Sciences in ******* for three semesters. I would like to apply for a course in the fifth semester at the ******** University. Due to my experience, interests and education, I have a clear idea of what I would like to do in the future. I intend to work in a responsible position in a medium or large sized international company. In times of globalization it is very important to learn something about foreign countries, cultures and the people who live there.

That is one of the reasons why I decided to broaden my horizon and go for an exchange semester.

Another one is that I have learned a lot about personnel management and international marketing during my studies and I would like to gain more detailed knowledge in this field. To prepare myself for this subject I have done an internship at an environmental protection agency, where I was assigned as an assistant on a market research project. I tremendously enjoyed my experience working at the environmental agency because I had on the one hand the opportunity to work by myself as I was responsible for the collection of data and the customer contacts. On the other hand I also acquired the ability to assert myself within a team and also to enjoy the work as a group. These opportunities strengthened my skills in working independently and in a team. I find this work challenging, interesting, and invigorating and I am determined to become better skilled so that I can lead a group in the future.

Not only because the courses which are offered at the ********* University fit perfectly to the courses I attend at University of Applied Sciences in *******, but rather the fact that ******* is a beautiful and world-famous student city which has a rich cultural and academic history, fascinates me since my last visit to England and confirm me and my desire to study at this University.

In times of internationalisation, it is necessary to fully be aware of international business, wherefore it is important for me to improve my skills in languages, especially in the global language English. Not only for this reason I decided to study a course in which the lectures are held in English, but rather for the reason that I enjoy learning various languages.

The ****** University is the best opportunity for me and my future career and therefore I am sure that one semester abroad at your University would help me to improve my skills within the business studies. I really hope that you give me the chance to be part of the ******* family.


Yours faithfully,

******
