Letters / MOTIVATION LETTER FOR MASTER IN ARCHITECTURE IN GERMANY [3]

Dear Friends,
This is my motivation letter required to enter for a master program in the architectural field.
Hopeful for comments, tips and corrections.

*Note that is only allowed one page, A4 format. So, I tried to summarize the informations as much as I could

Dear Sir or Madam,
I am applying for the Master "Integrative technologies and architectural design research (ITECH) starting in October, 2014, and I would like to express my interest for the program. My goal is to become a professional able and prepared to deal with complex buildings, advanced building technologies and environmental performance, in order to improve the quality of buildings and cities. I want to be a professional engaged to these factors, promoting quality and social respect to architectural and urban planning products.

I am graduated in Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Vila Velha, in Espírito Santo, Brazil in earlier 2013. During my studies, I awoke special interest in disciplines dealing with energy performance and environmental quality, what made me also interesting to investigate more about the development of new constructions technologies, and tools in order to facilitate and enable the technological advancement of the design and building performance, this interest was also a result of my thesis, where I developed a research center, involving the concepts of innovation, performance and building technology. During my academic journey, I joined the "Core of studies and practices of Architecture and Urban Plans, Civil Engineering and product design", where I had the chance to research about construction technologies, integrating the architectural design with economic and environmental issues and structural concept process in research projects. I was able to investigate about structural systems and design possibilities, and approach my leadership and team work skills. Also, I joined other extracurricular activities, such as workshops, researches and professional internships aiming to approach my knowledge, gain experience and get involved in academic activities.

My academic background, my experiences with research and special interest for innovation, building performance and advanced building technologies are the main reasons that I am applying to this program. I believe that technological advancements are the base for innovation, capable to attend the market transformations, environmental and economic exigencies, enabling multidisciplinary interaction to reach better results and quality for the architectural and urban products. The outstanding educational system and the interaction between the research and practice (that is essential for technological advancement) is an opportunity to improve my skills and to achieve my professional goals. The master program will provide knowledge in advanced technologies, computational tools and make me prepared to deal with the environmental, aesthetic and economic challenges. Also, the opportunity to develop myself in an international environment will provide me multicultural interaction and allows me to switch experiences and acquaintance. To investigate about the multiple potentials of the architecture design, structures and building technologies convinces me that I will gain necessary theoretical and practical knowledge.

Furthermore, I strongly believe that my academic background, where I was always engaged with researches, my motivation of getting experience and knowledge, my skills developed during my academic journey and my high interest for innovation and technological advancement will bring benefit, enrich the program, fellow students and professors.

Thank you for considering my application, I am looking forward to enter the program.
Regards,
xxxx

I think that the structure is pretty good, and you also used a good rage of vocabulary.
Furthermore, I would add some relevant academic experiences that you had for the master program, such as workshops, professional interships...
Also, say why is important for you to study abroad, why did you chose a specific country, and how this will help you to achieve your goals.

Letters / Position in a reputable company ; MOTIVATION LETTER FOR MASTERS IN ARCHIECTURE [2]

Hey, I will try to give you some sugestions. I am writing a motivation letter for architectutal master too, I think that I can help you a little bit.

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to express my interest in applying for a Master's Degree Programme in Architectural Design at the xxxxxxxxxx starting in September 2014. I believe my educational background will enable me to make a strong contribution at the University.

My career objective is to secure a position in a reputable company where my skills will contribute to the company's goals and where I can build my career prospects. My study objective is to study in a reputable institution that would provide the resources and tools needed to build a deeper theoretical and practical knowledge. (Try to make a relaction of the master program with your professional goals, how the disciplines will help you to achieve your goal? It's interesting to show that you are well informed about the program)

My interest in Architecture has now been so vast that I can say that my five-year study of Bachelor of Architecture has been astounding and which I graduated with a second class (honors) upper division. I have always been so studious and motivated that I have always known that a degree at a university will be apt for my future career. I have developed effective communication skills; I am receptive to innovation and proficient in the use of CAD. Undoubtedly, all these are congruous with my future studies. (Nowadays, AutoCad is not enough, will be interesting to mention some others relevants sofwares such as revit, render tools, 3d Max..., also, describe some academic activities that made you develop these skills)[/b]

With almost one and half years of work experience, I have enjoyed working as a team. I learned working under pressure so I could manage Time efficiently (good). I have been involved in architecture design works and site supervision, notable among them is the design of a luxury Apartment in which I took a large part in its design drawings. (To share one single experience is not enough, try to make more general, have you joined some research, schoolarship, workshops...?)

I consider studying abroad an opportunity to explore and identify other ways of improving myself. It is also a privilege to promote my culture and at the same time gain knowledge about cultural differences. I chose xxxxxx because it is a community-oriented society that value social cooperation and I specifically chose xxxxxx because it has a School of Architecture more so it is ranked in the Academic Ranking of World Universities as the second best university in xxxxx. ~~Furthermore, testimonies from past graduates have convinced me of a successful Master's study at your University.~~(I don't think that this is necessary)

I am applying for a Master's degree in Architectural Design after viewing the course curriculum provided by your University as the research focus and facilities available in your department complement both my past studies and my research interests. (Mention, which interests - or do it in the first paragraph) [b]

However, my Master's program would be financed by my Parent. They promised to see me through the course of this program and I believe that with their professions and earnings, they are capable of paying all my fees and expenses throughout the year of study.(This is not necessary)

I believe that being a part of your department would not only enrich my career but would also help to attain my maximum potential. Moreover, I can avail myself to numerous career opportunities and a successful completion of my Master's Degree at your University will be an excellent springboard for my future career.

Thank you very much for your consideration
