Motivation Letter for a Masters program, (Photonic networks Engineering)

Dear Sir/ Mam,

With this letter, I would like to express my interest in applying to the Master's program in Photonic Network Engineering (MAPNET) starting in September 2014.

I graduated from faculty of Engineering at Mansoura University, Egypt. I have received a Bachelor degree in Communications and Information (CIE).
Studying in this particular department gave me the chance to cope with many branches in technology like electronics, communication systems, signal processing, electromagnetic waves and databases.

Ever since I started my undergraduate program, I decided to pursue further academic education in Technology as I know that undergraduate education is not enough these days. I had some financial problems prevented me from applying earlier but now I'm financially stable.

I involved in some of Telecommunications fields either as a trainee or permanent work like networking and wireless communications, but I decided to focus on optical communications as I it is one of the most growing technologies and a key for industrial development. In addition to, the high demand on experts in this field either on research or industry.

I decided to apply for a Masters degree rather than spending time in a local firm because working in telecommunications field requires young professionals who are well-educated. Besides, having an advanced training like you are offering will definitely help me in my pursue to open a firm specialized in this field or to continue for a PHD, as this field is not popular in Egypt.

After a deep search in Masters programs all over the world, I found that Erasmus Mundus program will help me to gain both knowledge and experience I need, as many of the modules offered are unique and have no equivalent at my home country plus the mobility and freedom to choose my path. In addition to, the high rating of all the universities participating in the program and the international enterprises associated will give me the right skill sets to step into the exciting domain of telecommunications.

If I obtaining admission to the program, I would like to spend study between Aston University where I am going to start and TUB, I made that decision after looking to the modules offered by the two universities and also to give myself a convenient time to learn German language.

I am confident that I will bring a high level of energy and enthusiasm to your program.

I thank you for considering my application, and I am looking forward to your acceptance.

Dear Sir/ Mam - Ma'am or Madam would be appropriate

I had some financial problems that prevented me from applying earlier but now I'm financially stable.

Ever since I started my undergraduate program, I decided to pursue further academic education in Technology as I know that undergraduate education is not enough these days - In my humble opinion, you need to make a more compelling case.

I was involved in the Telecommunications fields either as a trainee or permanent work like networking and wireless communications... - In this statement the either or clause does not make much grammatical sense. Do you mean to say you were initially a trainee and then became a permanent worker in the telecommunications field ?

In addition to this , thereis a high demand for experts in this field bothfor research and industry.

Besides, having an advanced training like you are offering will definitely help me towards my goal of opening a firm specialized in this field or to continue towards a PHD, as this field is not popular in Egypt.

After a deep search in Masters programs all over the world, I found that Erasmus Mundus program will help me gain both the knowledge and the experience I need, as many of the modules offered are unique and have no equivalent in my home country. The program also gives me the mobility and freedom to choose my path. In addition to aforementioned , the high rating of all the universities participating in the program and the international enterprises associated will give me the right skill sets to step into the exciting domain of telecommunications.

Rest of it is fine (in my opinion). All the best !

If I obtainingobtain admission to the program, I would like to spend study between Aston University (this part is not clearly presented, you need to rephrase it) where I am going to start and TUB,


I decided to pursue my a post graduate degree instead of working for a local firm because of my country needs professionals in the telecommunication field.
