Hello, I am a French student and I have to write a letter of motivation in English to apply for a bachelor in physiotherapy in The Netherlands. Could you please review it and make some comments?
Thank you for your help
Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing this letter to explain you why I have applied to the first year of your international programme in physiotherapy for the academic year 2017-2018.First, I am really interested in getting a better understanding of the human body and health in general. As a matter of fact, as I love working out, I would like to learn more about all the different body systems that are involved while doing sports. I also wish to know how to prevent or treat injuries by using my hands and my knowledge about the human body. Moreover, I enjoy being in contact with people, listening to them and advising them if they have any trouble. In fact, contributing to someone’s happiness makes me feel very pleased and useful. That is why I am also hoping to participate in humanitarian missions as a physiotherapist.Furthermore, I like the fact that physiotherapy is a varied profession in constant evolution which requires you to know about different techniques and exercises, for example to ease pain or improve movement and strength. What is more, you can choose to work in a hospital, a rehabilitation centre, or, as I plan to, work in private practice.Besides, I think that your bachelor in physiotherapy fits me. Indeed, I really wish to study in English to be able to work abroad with people from all around the world. In addition, I like the content of your courses mixing theory and practical education, and covering all the different aspects of the profession including care, management and innovation. I also read in your brochure that, after graduation, you offer a traineeship at a company or organization in The Netherlands through the XXX Programme, which seems to represent a great opportunity.Finally, studying in The Netherlands would benefit my professional life thanks to a high-quality education but also my private life. Indeed, living in a different country, meeting other people, and learning about Dutch culture would certainly be a rewarding experience, especially since I am curious about your country.Thank you for taking my application into consideration,I look forward to hearing from you,Yours faithfully,
