Dear Sir or Madam:

With this letter, I would like to express my interest in studying at the University of XY as an Erasmus
student.

I am currently studying Master’s Degree programme in Regional Geography at the ABC University in
London. Having looked through the materials of the Foreign Department of my university, I was very
delighted to find the opportunity to spend one semester learning geography at the University of XY. I
have decided to apply for this programme because I am sure it would strongly enrich my future studies
and help me in my prospective career. Moreover I consider this programme as a great opportunity to
get in touch with British culture and educational system. Last but not least, I am very curious about
different approaches to the geography at the foreign university.

I have chosen to apply for University of XY, because I really like its module system of study. I specially
appreciate the wide range of offered modules and the freedom in making your study plan. Many of the
modules offered are unique for me, because there is no equivalent at my home university. Very
important for me is also an “Excellent” rating for teaching of the Geography department and the overall
friendly atmosphere at both the university as well as the city. The third main reason why I have chosen
XY is its Urban and Regional Policy Research Institute. It specializes in interdisciplinary research on key
regional and urban policy issues, which is the field of geography very familiar to me.

During my prior studies I have found out, that I would like to specialize in Urban and Transport
Geography. The University of XY gives me a chance to get in touch with these subjects through modules
from both Department of Geography and Department of Town and Regional Planning. In my last year at
the ABC University I worked on an empirical study with main focus on transportation costs of
suburbanisation and urban sprawl. I really liked my project and I am keen to continue in it. I would like
to use my stay in XY for further developing my skills in empirical research and starting working on my
diploma project. The possibilities that gives me University of XY further expand those at my home
university. I would take modules focusing on Transport and Urban geography and European Studies.

I would very much like to spend one semester at the University of XY. This would give me a chance to
deepen my geographical knowledge in the inspiring, creative, and cosmopolite environment of one of
the largest British universities. Furthermore I could improve my English and increase my confidence in
passing the TOEFL examinations after I return. Moreover, I am confident that my experience in London
would be extremely exciting, fun, and valuable for both my studies and overall general development.

Thank you for considering my request. I look forward to your positive response.

Yours faithfully,

Suzan Parent

perfectly meet the exact application requirements for your chosen Master’s course. Here are some great
tips on how to write a great motivation letter for your Master’s degree and an equally interesting look at
how to craft the perfect statement of purpose.

Motivation letter for Master in International Information Systems

Dear Madam or Sir,

With this letter, I am applying for a position in the Masters of International Information Systems
programme, offered at [university name]. With my current experience as a Pharmaceutical Market
Research professional, I wish to expand my technical knowledge of information systems and turn my
focus towards their wide-scale applications in hospitals and pharmacies as a Clinical Workflow
Consultant. By reading the course curriculum available online, I have found that the subject material
covered will best suit my career goals. Lastly, the prospect of participating in a mandatory exchange
program is an excellent way to observe divergent information systems, as well as build upon my cultural
cognisance.

By trade, I specialise in Pharmaceutical Market Research and provide decision support solutions to large
pharmaceutical companies. As part of my role I liaise with clients regarding their marketing and
management objectives, create and update surveys to capture consumer behaviour, assist with
technical data quality management, code complex responses and in turn, produce insightful reports.
Additionally, as it is a small company, my role often demands that I gather primary data from academic
papers, adapting content and converting them into real market practices. During this role, I undertook
and completed a Graduate Diploma in Applied Statistics. The purpose of which was to better my
understanding of clinical trials, improve in survey design, and to learn how to program and store
statistical data sets. My responsibility, diligence and management aptitude were integral to the role,
however, it was clear that my progress was decelerated by my lack of technical, information systems-
related, training.

The customised introduction to International Information systems addresses the next step in my
professional development. The Australian health care system is changing from a paper-based recording
system to a digital enterprise/network. This remodelling of a national health system implies the need for
large investments in hardware and software infrastructure and in people with the right skillset to meet
this demand. The combination of subjects such as ‘Advanced Service Management’ and ‘Fundamentals
of Enterprise-wide IT Architectures management’ in the Management stream and ‘Data Warehousing’,
‘Knowledge Discover in Databases’ and ‘Process-oriented Information Systems’ in the Informatics path
would contribute to my professional ambitions.

I graduated with a Bachelor of Business (Marketing) from [university name] in Australia. During my
degree, I was very active in many facets of university life. I completed a number of internships around
my university campus, working for small business owners. This gave me an outlet to apply theoretical
knowledge in a practical setting and also sparked my interest in Market Research and Business
Consulting. Further to this I remained engaged in university affairs by volunteering for the Student
Ambassador program. In this program my duties varied from taking prospective students on tours,
introducing and guiding guests of honour, and speaking to schools around Australia regarding
scholarship programs. Furthermore, I was highly committed to the development of a hitherto non-
existent University Tennis Club. Taking over the tennis committee in my first semester I had plans on
developing the club to be a self-sustaining, award-winning, and socially interactive club. Forming a
committee of tennis enthusiasts, our club achieved all of the aforementioned goals within the duration
of my degree and were awarded numerous accolades, listed in my up-to-date resume. Lastly, with all of
the responsibilities at hand, I remained vigilant with my academic performance. I was hence awarded a
Deans Honour for high academic merit and, in Industry Management, received the highest grade
amongst my peers.

Before moving to Australia I had spent much of my earlier childhood living in the Philippines and Sri
Lanka. Having exposure to these experiences at an early age sparked my interest in cultural interactions
and how information is shared by means of globalisation. With this upbringing, I became interested in
languages and henceforth learnt Spanish in both schools and in my free time. Learning intensively in
Spain for a month, I reached an A2 proficiency. Learning about this program some time ago I set aside
Spanish and began learning German. As I write this I have reached a B2 level and am capable of
communicating effectively. Given the opportunity, however, I would use the mandatory language
program to improve on my Spanish and look at potentially studying abroad in Spain or Spanish-speaking
Latin American countries.

My ambition to study in Germany stems from a dearth of equivalent professional programs offered in
Australia. As mentioned earlier, the future of healthcare in Australia will demand a workforce with a
specialised skillset. With this degree I would like to meet this demand and, in the future, be a pioneer in
the architecture, management and protection of information systems. Furthermore, Germany’s
geographic location and current economic strength attract industry experts from around the world. With
the notion of idea-sharing in mind, this would be a perfect ground to establish the next step of my
professional career.

With all of my experience listed, I am in search of bringing my career to the next level. The subjects
offered in this program are specifically in line with my professional goals. Additionally, the mandatory
study abroad semester provides a great grounding in which to further experience divergent cultures and
exchange knowledge. I am certain that the knowledge and skills learnt from my professional experience,
university, and extracurricular activities would make me a valuable addition to the Masters of
International Information Systems program offered at [university name].

Thank you in advance for considering my application,

Regards

I believe that I am a quick learner, and I don’t give up easily when faced with difficult challenges. I like to
think of myself as a cool-headed person who can keep his wits about him under pressure.

I believe that combination of my skills, experience, and knowledge suits your expectation regarding
profile of intern for advertised position. Preferably I would like to do my internship during summer, as I
do not have any obligations at the University.
