UNIVERSITY COLLEGE UTRECHT FACULTY: ACADEMIC CORE, HUMANITIES, SCIENCE AND SOCIAL SCIENCE
Dear Madam/Sir, I have a desire to be applied for the Bachelor of Liberal Arts and Sciences on Spring 2005.I have completely read your whole website so that I feel interested from the teaching qualifications, suitable and perfect programs, priority fees, international degree and the international study environment. Fortunately, University College Utrecht is likely to have a very wide areas of Humanities, Science and Social Science to perform my further goals of study as well as career in future for either an deeply understanding sort of society or the development of global. In addition, Vietnam Embassy in the Netherlands evaluated greatly about your famous university not only in the Netherlands but also in Europe when I came to ask information. These are all major reasons to make me expected. I really find subjects in Social Science department in my own interested areas because: I have a deep passion in discovering about the social, cultural, political, economic processes from the classic to modern that play a very important role in using a second language like a native language of English. In my thoughts, Social Science section contains those perfect backgrounds to develop our intellection as well as opportunities of career in fields: academic research, projects of government in international contacts, international organizations, communication and journalism, economic and law, etc. Beside that I will become familiar with the theories used to study the acquisition and use of second language. Moreover, I have to learn to critically assess ideas and approaches. At last but not least, according to a large ambition of social science and a professional ability of language, I will have many advantages to reach up my special goals in master courses of journalism like my mother or further in developing and testing didactic instruments in educational field like my father. I really like these two areas in my planning career. My achievements:
In order to build up a solid foundation for my future research and thus realize my dream of becoming an expert in teaching English. I devoted every effort to learning virtually all the related courses and reading many English books in such areas like literature, culture. My hard work paid off, I finished the B.A of English Language and Culture in Vietnam since 2000, and the category was good.
After graduation, I had worked as a young writer and interpreter of a article named “ Foreign Literature” nearly four years for Song Huong Magazine-Hue City (Hue is the middle location of Vietnam where have many great landscapes became the heritage and culture of the world by UNESCO) (Song Huong Magazine is the official communication of government about literature, culture and history of sections). During the past eight years, I studied the Bachelor of English and Culture in Vietnam University as well as worked in the Song Huong Magazine. The emphasis of my studies understood the deep language of English for many literature subjects in order that I could use practically in my jobs. However, I was not much satisfied in my limited intellection about aspects of society and global. In addition, every time that reading news about culture, economic, politic, law in any newspaper make me excited to find out and even want to write all what I see and feel for my heart. At this moment, I fully recognize that my relevant career is in journalism. No education is complete without experience. No knowledge about social science have no chance to reach the higher graduation of journalism. Armed with a solid understanding of academic principles, I can begin my career where I will add to my experience. Because I will be well versed in the theory, I will be able to adapt and modify the theoretical constructs according to practical example as required in order to meet my career’s needs in journalism. Our political, economic and law, scientific environments are constantly changing and thus journalist needs to be able to adapt quickly and accurately to the new conditions, the past results of those fields are worthy lessons for today in order that we can avoid or develop more and more. I believe obtaining a Bachelor of Arts; section Social Science will provide the necessary background for me to be performing my wishes in the Master course of journalism in future. I very much hope that by my above-said words, I will be accepted into University College Utrecht to study the BA program on Spring 2005.I would be most grateful if you could give my application form in your most favorable consideration. I look forward to your reply as soon as possible
With best regards,
T.L.D.Nguyen
