Hi everyone,
I am currently preparing for my university application. My Toefl test is done and I have all the needed documents, the only thing left is my letter of intent.
I would be glad if someone could have a look at it and give me some tips for improving it.
The task was to describe why I would like to study this program.
To whom it may concern:
The European Union face many fundamental problems. Globalisation, cosmopolitanism, integration: These are buzzwords of today's society and it is important for me to gain analytical insight into these processes in order to deal with such problems. This is to express my sincere interest in the XXX's European Studies Master program, scheduled to start in October 2013.
When reading testimonials or experiences from students at XXX University I have been very impressed with the opportunities that are offered within your program. In the following letter I would like to present my reasons why I would like to study European Relations at XXX University.
First, I would like to study European Relations at XXX University because I have a strong interest in European politics. I would like to get the substantive expertise and analytical skills necessary to fully understand the study and practice of world politics. My special interest lies in the way a state's foreign policy relates to the international system.
Second, I would like to study at XXX University because I am strongly interested in the relations within the European Union, whether politically or economically as well as their role in the International field. During my time at the University of Applied Sciences XXX I have gained a strong academic background in the subjects of European Politics, European Law, Management of European Projects and European Business Relations. Combined with my volunteer work experience in the field of the external economic relations of my country, I consider myself to be an excellent candidate for this master program.
After successfully finishing my master's degree, my professional goal is to work in a lead position in an international organization. This master program will contribute positively to the evolution of my career.
To sum up, I am certain that my previous academic career, my strong interest and existing knowledge in European relations, my ambition and eagerness to educate myself further, make me a highly suitable candidate for the European Master program at XXX University.
Thank you for considering my application.
Yours sincerely,
If anyone has tipps for adjustments I would be more than happy!
