Dear Sir or Madam, I write this letter to express my motivation and reason why I choose to apply to your Master program of International Business Management which will be started in the Autumn of the year 2013. I am now an undergraduate student of faculty of International Business and Economics, specialized in International Commerce of *** and I will graduate this summer. After graduating, I want to have a higher degree that can help me focus intensively on the major suit for me and I found your Master course meet my need so that I decided to apply. In my university, my performance in study was not good at all the subjects however always good at specialized subjects such as Macro Economics, Marketing, International Business, International Commercial Transactions, International Trade Policy,… because I think they will directly relative to my master degree and my job in the future so that I have motivation to research these subjects in depth more than the others. Besides, I also participated in some courses of National Office of Intellectual of Viet Nam and Viet Nam E-commerce and Information Technology Agency which are very essential in every areas related to economics. This shaped in me a strong desire to pursue the Master degree in your university with an emphasis on the application of International Business Management. In addition, the reason for choosing this specific Master course is that I would like to gain more knowledge and international experience because while I was studying at university, I was working part time job at the same time in the two companies, a small private one in 2 years (*** JSC) and other big famous media company in 5 months (*** Cooperation) for Advertising online Project and I found that all which I studied in university seems to not enough for me to work professionally in workplace and the actual job was far more different than theoretical knowledge. I know that all what I studied is more theories than practices and applications, this is the usual issue which Viet Nam education must be faced with and I am now lack of many practical knowledge to prepare for working well, while your university shows that it has an interaction tightly with others businesses and different working environments for students collide with realitywhich parallel to researching in university. On the other hand, I was born in an Asia country and I was influenced by the viewpoints and the mindset of Oriental people so that a chance to live and study in a Western country will bring to me a multiple perspectives and another way of thinking about economics problems. Moreover, although there are many Master courses in other countries which suit for me as same as your course but you are in my priority because of many reasons about your country. Firstly, Finland is the world’s most successful country in education according to the OECD (Organization Economic Cooperation and Development) , and Finnish education achievements was respected by many countries with larger per capital income as US, Switzerland, Japan…, especially PISA (Program for International Student Assessment), I had a deep impression and from the time I heard in the speaking of Mrs. TuulaHaatainen – Finnish Minister of Education for BBC News: "In Finland, we believe we have to invest in education, in research and in higher education”, "Education can pioneer new areas for jobs. We always need new skills for the labour force - so it means that we have to keep investing”, I decided to choose Finland for my higher education of Master. Another important reason I want to mentioned is that I have a wish to study abroad, however, financial ability of my family is not enough for me to have a wide range of options, and your country have many preferential policies for foreign student such as tuition free, scholarships… so that I think I will very lucky if I have a chance to study in Finland which help me reduce the burden of finance while I still have a great education which was recognized by OECD and WEF (World Economic Forum). Moreover, your country is known as a peace country and the best place to live in the world with a good security, good social welfare, good infrastructure, political and social stability… which ensure a safe environment for me to feel comfortable when studying and living there. I realized that if I am selected for this Master program, I will have an opportunity to study in an advanced education and an international environment with others students from different countries. It is a great chance for me to exchange knowledge and gain more experience from the elite professors. I expect that the Oulu University will provide me with the best condition to study for Master which is hard to find in my country. Therefore, I sincerely hope that you will make a favorable decision for me regarding to the Master program. I look forward to hearing about your decision. Thank you for your time and consideration.
