Need help for a motivation letter

Dear all,

I am writing a motivation letter for my MA studies in UK. I would really appreciate if someone can comment on my English as well as on the structure of the letter.



I appreciate this opportunity to provide further information in support of my application for Master in Tourism Management at the University of Westminster.

I completed bachelor‘s degree in Comparitive Asian Studies (Japanese major) from X University in 2010. I have studied various aspects of Asian culture, including Japanese and Chinese languages, history, philosophy, religion and music. Also I recieved a scholarship to study for half of the year in Tsukuba University, Japan. There I improved my knowledge in Japanese language as well as in various cross-cultural issues. I was awarded high grades in all of my courses and recieved a highest grade for my bachelor thesis called „X". I am currently working as a teacher assistant in X International School. Moreover, I am teaching Japanese language for beginners at X University.

I decided to pursue my studies in tourism management due to my interest in different cultures and tourism sector. Taking into consideration that numbers of tourists from Asia in Europe are constantly growing, it is important to have knowledge of cross-cultural understanding. Therefore, I believe that the linguistic and educational profile that I acquired will be an important asset for my realization in the field of tourism management.

I wish to develop knowledge and skills in tourism management so I could work in this sector. Thus it is my strong belief that a degree from University of Westminster can help me to achieve my goal of becoming an expert in the field of tourism.

Thank you so much for your consideration and I am looking forward to your reply.
