MOTIVATION LETTER

Dear Sir/Madam

With this letter, I hereby wish to state my interest and apply for a master's degree programme in International Finance at the XXX. I have decided to apply for this programme because I am sure it would strongly/greatly enrich my future studies and contribute to my prospective career. Moreover, I consider this programme a great opportunity to get in touch with European culture and the educational system.

My objective is to work in international investment banking in a developed country. My long-term ambition is to work in the stock exchange bureau or investment banking in my home country.

My interest in finance began when I was an intern at XXX while I was a junior at the XXX. Even though I was an intern, I used to analyze corporate financial records and assisted to credit score. After my graduation, I was hired at XXX. During my first year after I started working, our country's stock market intensified more than ever. Therefore, I took an interest in investment and converted my savings into stocks, and started to create my own portfolio. This decision developed my interest in the direction of investment. Hence, I applied to become a VIP banker at the same bank. While I was a VIP banker, I managed the assets of high-profile clients and advised them how to invest in stocks and trade on the international capital market based on my analysis.

The profile of the master's degree in International Finance at the XXX is highly international and multidisciplinary; I believe that your programme is a perfect opportunity to gain knowledge about international financial markets. In addition, this programme is one of the few English-taught Master programmes in Germany. I am planning to take courses like Financial risk management, Management of international asset portfolio, Econometrics, and Financial economics. I consider these courses would give me more insight into the financial sector. Hence important for being advanced in financial management.

Having looked through the website of XXX, I learned that classes are rather small than other schools, which I think great opportunity to learn from professors' hands-on experience. Moreover, professors who teach in this school have vast working experience or are currently working; I consider this is a valuable experience to get the opportunity to learn about the latest developments and methods directly from the practice of this dynamic economics.

Considering the profile and the content of the master's degree in International Finance at the XXX, along with my previous knowledge and experience, I am confident that this master brings me one step closer to reach my goal of becoming an expert in the financial sector.

Thank you for considering my request; with my academic and professional experience so far and my desire to enrich my knowledge in finance, I am convinced that I will be a valuable addition to the programme. Your approval will surely be a great help and a noble blessing indeed.

Sincerely yours,

Good motivation on a personal scale. However, you should try to add an intrinational motivation since you are applying for admission to a global masters program. How does the international market future motivate this decision?


Expand this based on an international network motivation.


Delete this part. The background is not needed here. However motivation based on professional observations anda desire to improve the profession based on existing problems would help define your motivation.


Bad idea. This shows superficial research rather than careful program consideration. Better assessment factors are required.


This statement lacks proper justification in the previous paragraph.

This draft has potential. Revising the content should improve the weak and problem areas.
