To whom it may concern,

I am a fourth-year student of the Bachelor’s in Economics at Universitat Pompeu Fabra and I am

applying for the MSc in International Business in the UB.
Studying at UPF not only has given answer to my strong eagerness to learn about Economics and
business, but it has also further developed my motivation to keep studying and acquire advanced
knowledge, this way becoming a professional at the international business level.

During my undergraduate studies, I have studied some of the Economic techniques and models that
are necessary in order to shape a solid and rigorous training in the field. Similarly, I have enjoyed
the study and discussion of some very influential papers in the realm of Economics, which have
helped me build a critical thinking perspective. At the same time, I have been able to learn about
different aspects of the business field such as finance, accounting, logistics, industrial organization,
digital marketing, markets and derivates.

I am currently finishing my last semester in Rio de Janeiro, at the university Fundaçao Getulio
Vargas, the leading university of Business and Economics in Brazil and Latino America. This
experience has already being very enriching on a personal and professional level as it has allowed
me to work together with students from all over the world and to make some interesting courses
such as Public Policy focused in Brazil and implementing corporative projects in a Brazilian firm
while achieving a very good level of Portuguese speaking. In the personal level, it has allowed me
to know more about the Brazilian culture even that I already knew thanks to a volunteer did in the
same country. It also strengthens my belief in my abilities to adapt to different environments, my
constant desire to get out of my comfort zone and my worldwide mindset.

I am applying to UB because it constitutes an excellent path in order to follow my career in such a

highly reputated institution.

My passion for languages and my history of experiencing various cultures allows me to connect and
communicate with people with great ease, which has proven crucial in a number of situations,

For this reason, I believe that in the globalised world that we live in today, communication is the most useful
asset for client-focused operations, as well being able to provide more diverse and open-minded insights.

Being trilingual in English, Italian and Spanish, I chose to pursue

I am now dedicated to mastering Portuguese. Not only is it the 6th most spoken language in the world, but the
Brazilian economy is one that has grasped my interest in the past few years.
I believe my ability to understand other people and different cultures is what will help me perhaps secure a
potential client or simply flourish in a team of individuals from around the world
 I believe that my language skills can be a useful asset in the international business of marketing and analysis,
hence this application.

I am a confident and outgoing person who enjoys working with and leading teams or projects. I know I have
the skillset and adaptability to thrive in this industry and due to my keen interest, numerical proficiency and
language adaptability, I believe I am a strong candidate for
