I am planning to apply for Master degree in Media Culture in Netherlands, so this is my letter of motivation.
To whom it may concern:
I would like to express my desire to study at the YYY University in for 2013/14 academic year. I am applying for the Master degree in Media Culture. Having read all the testimonials about YYY University and visited educational fairs and consultations with job advisors I became assured that this program best suites my academic and career goals.
At the moment I am studying Socio-Cultural Business for my last semester at the Saint Petersburg University of Humanities and Social Sciences, Russia. In May 2013 I will graduate with a specialist honors degree with an expected GPA of 5.0 (100%) which puts me among top three students at my university. Alongside this program I was doing a course in Conflict Management which was invented with the support of Vladimir Putin. I had finished this course with a bachelor degree and with a GPA of 4.8 out of 5 in December 2012.
When speaking about my educational background I can't help but to mention my experience in studying abroad. In 2011 I was chosen to participate in Erasmus Program and went for one semester to the University of Applied Sciences in Ludwigshafen, Germany. I studied courses such as Top Management Consulting, Business English, Negotiating and Meetings, Work and Organizational Psychology, German Language and Culture, which broadened my horizons in an international business sphere. This experience gave me not only knowledge in areas mentioned but also a capacity to adapt to a multicultural society. This simultaneous interdisciplinary education expands the breadth of my future career possibilities and gives me more knowledge in different business sectors. Due to it, I am able to have a greater understanding of current media problems in Russia.
As a part of my studying process I am a member of Student's Scientific Society. Every year I participate in the Annual Science Student Conference and in the Contest of Students' Projects. One of my projects called "Corporate Identity and Corporate Image as the Foundation for Corporate Communication" won the first place in my university and was chosen to participate in the All-Russian competition of student's projects.
Besides studying I regularly participate in university activities. Being an Ambassador of my university and a tutor for first-year students helped me a lot for developing my presentation and interpersonal communication skills. Moreover, I am a member of a Student Council liable for conducting such activities as student's competitions, concerts, games etc. This experience gives me an opportunity to expand my organizational attainments.
As for my other personal qualities I can mention my purpose and leadership skills. As a student I used to participate in a huge variety of group projects such as writing business-plans and designing marketing strategies for different sorts of companies. I was often a team leader responsible for information gathering, role distribution, coordinating dates and interpersonal activities. Each time I headed the project our team achieved only the best results.
Furthermore, I participate actively in a social life of my city. As a member of a Russian Youth Volunteer Society I regularly take part in volunteer programs such as visiting orphanages and boarding schools for children with disabilities for organizing fun activities and games. In 2012 I also helped conducting a music festival "Chords of Saint Petersburg" by providing PR activity such as promoting this event in newspapers, communicating with prospective participants and analyzing its results and affects.
The motivation to study media was firmed into a determination during my volunteering and working experience. As I used to interact a lot with children, I was really surprised about how much modern media influences them. During my studies at YYY University I am planning to make a research project concerning internet culture and virtual realities and their affects on children's mind. I hope that my knowledge in Conflict Management and Psychology will help me in it. Besides, I am planning to base my research on the work of Jean Baudrillard "Simulacra and Simulation" who spoke about blurring the line between products that are vital and products for which a need is created artificially.
After having studied in Netherlands I am planning to return to Russia. My future career ambition is to work in a Ministry of Culture in Russia alongside doing a PhD. I hope that my future job will let me to apply all the skills received during my undergraduate and personal studies.
Considering all the facts above I can assure you that as a student at the YYY University I will exceed your expectations and bring a high level of academic intellect, energy and creativity to your campus.
Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to the opportunity to study at the YYY University.
Sincerely,
