Strathclyde motivation letter

Hello,

can anybody correct my motivation letter? This is so important for me and the application deadline id January 31st.Thank you.



Dear University of Strathclyde Committee:






I am currently a third year student of undergraduate studies in Electrical Engineering at the National Engineering School of Tunis and I am pleased to apply to the "MSc Global Innovation Management" program for the year 2011/12. My motivation in applying is acquiring the fundamental managerial tools that will allow me to evolve into one of tomorrow’s leaders in the international business world. There are many competitive programs but this program is the one that appeals to me most, for the various reasons I will unfold in the rest of this letter.



Firstly, it is an Erasmus program and thus enjoys prestige. On the medium term, the "MSc Global Innovation Management" program will allow me to get an education in prestigious European universities, discovering the European lifestyle and educational system. On the long term, it will open doors, for me, to the thriving world of business, working in world-renowned companies and allowing me the opportunity to launch a successful, international career. Secondly, the "MSc Global Innovation Management" program, unlike other programs, promotes students mobility, as they need to study in a minimum of two different universities from two different countries in order to get the Master degree. Thus, a student graduates from at least two well renowned universities, which is advantageous in a resume. Finally, this program brings together participants from all over the world, so I would be in contact with diverse cultures and that would also enable me to develop an international network.



I realize the competition for the "MSc Global Innovation Management" program is tough, however, I feel that I have many strengths that make me eligible. My "final annual project» (PFA) attests to my ability to work in a group and collaborate with others. This is also a quality I benefit from in my engagement with the ATCC (Association Tunisienne de lutte Contre le Cancer), a Tunisian NGO dedicated to fighting cancer. As part of my activities in ATCC, I tour primary schools to raise awareness among youngsters regarding the dangers of smoking. This experience helped me develop my community organizing skills, as I am responsible for the NGO's anti-smoking awareness raising program. It also offered me the opportunity to exercise my public speaking skill, which is a fundamental component of my work. Moreover, the fact that I speak many languages fluently (Arabic, French, English and Spanish) combined with my curiosity about the different cultures of the world would foster my integration in a multicultural environment.



I look forward to hearing from you and if you require any further information please do not hesitate to contact me.

"appeals to me most" - the most "it will open doors, for me," - no commas "final annual project» - watch the punctuation Last paragraph, 1st sentence and the content of this paragraph should be reconsidered. Maybe adding "such as" to the first sentence (your strengths) would help. However, is it really what you want to say in your final paragraph?

  • I feel like you should talk more on engineering-management rather than "side" advantages of the program - i assume, it is firstly academical.
  • However, I do not have lot of experience on this, but I hoped my notes helps

How was the course? Any tips? I have no work experience but I got an offer for 2012 entry. I'm still thinking whether to accept it or not because my inexperience might be a disadvantage. I'm a student from the Philippines. Thanks!

I just finished the first year and I must say that it was amazing. Not the university itself, but the experience you get from interacting with people from all over the world. There are some problems with the programme, off course nothing is perfect, but overall its a great experience. The programme itself is very appreciated across the Europe and many students get very nice job offers. Dont worry
