Information and Communication Technology - Motivation Letter for master's program study

application for master's course in Information and Communication Technology

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am willing to apply for the master's course in Information and Communication Technology, which will be starting in April 2021. I am applying for this master's course to correct my career path and work in my preferred field in communication engineering.

After graduation in 2013, I have started my first career step as a broadband technical support for about one year, and then, unfortunately, the broadband project been shut down, and I have been relocated to another project in the hospitality industry up to date. However, today after seven years, I managed to secure enough funds to support my dream to continue higher educations, and to support my family at the same time. I have a huge tendency to work in the communications industry, and with this rapid technology growth, I will still be able to learn more and enhance my skills.

I have maintained my academic performance constantly during my curriculum. I have graduated with second-class honors and achieved a CGPA of 3.26 out of 4. The university has published my graduation project in the university yearly magazine as one of the best projects been introduced in our batch. In addition to that, I have been also active in sports, and other Intellectual competitions.

The Bachelor of a telecommunication engineering program at [University Name] in [Country Name] has offered me a range of engineering subjects that gave me a good basis in the theoretical concept of telecommunications engineering.

Some courses have undertaken during my bachelor's degree studies in telecommunication engineering such as Communication Engineering Principles, Microwave and Optical Transmission, and Microwave and Optical Transmission have given me a clear aspiration to make my career in this field. By learning these principles, I was able to understand the functions of many technologies that we are using today.

I have decided to pursue my master's degree at Friedrich Alexander University, particularly because the medium of instruction for the ICT program is English, and due to the excellent international reputation that the university owns besides the significant number of research work carried out, and a great number of expert professors in the university.

The ICT master's program which I am applying for is directly connected to many practical innovative applications, which I have so much passion about, and really interested to learn. Especially the integration of three major fields of Computer Sciences, Electronics and Communications together to introduce new innovative technologies and solutions, which could help to facilitate the human lifestyle.

All these factors have inspired me to apply for this master's program, and this course will certainly be a step towards achieving my dream to study a master's in information and communication technology.

Education is the only successful investment that never loses, and the more you share the more knowledge you gain. I believe strongly that this program can eventually benefit people through me, and I will do my best to ensure that my knowledge and skills will serve my local community in [Country Name].

Any experience and information obtained from this program will help me to engage actively and inspire others, and I have always believed that a person could make a big difference if he has given a chance.

Thank you for considering my application, and I look forward to your acceptance.

Yours sincerely

I think you should review your opening sentence to be "I am applying for..." instead of "I am willing to..."

Also, your opebing sentence in your 5th paragraph is missing the pronoun "I". You should either write "I have" or write "I've".

These are the few things I'll love to point out.

Well done. I wish you good success!

This motivation letter is not useful to your application because you have failed to properly explain your motivation for a career change. Since you clearly indicated your target and reason for enrolling in a masters course, which is to change your career path, then you should be focused on explaining the reasons why you believe that you need to change career paths. Not just justify that you have the academic background for it. Even if you have the background for it, if the motivating factors are not proper, then you cannot convince the reviewer that you should be allowed to enroll in the program. Personal reasons, such as now having the money to support your family, among others, do not have a place in a motivation letter.

@Holt
Your comments are really opening my eyes to my mistakes. I do really appreciate your comments, which will help me to review the motivation letter, and focus on the career path change reasons.
