Ich bewerbe mich momentan für ein Auslandsstudium und schreibe deshalb ein Motivationsschreiben... Nur habe ich das noch nie gemacht und wäre dankbar über neuen Input und konstruktiver Kritik
Dear Sir or Madam,
I would like to introduce myself as an appropriate candidate for a year abroad at the Bishop’s University in Sherbrooke and elucidate my motivation in detail.
I am currently studying International Business Administration (B.Sc.) in the third semester at the University of Bamberg. Academically, I have a broad interest in multilingual studies this drawn me down towards a business orientated degree which is linked to international relations. This course of studies does not only emphasize on business another central aspect is the comprehension of different cultures and languages. In the matter of contents my subject of study encompasses different academic sciences, such as marketing and human resource management.
Whilst staying seven month abroad in Australia, I experienced a very different philosophy of life. During this time, I worked as an Au Pair and as a waitress in both employments I got to know the Australian culture, as well as enlarged my English skills. Staying Down Under was a great time and I met a lot of interesting people from all over the world. As I never traveled beyond the Pacific Ocean I would love to get to know all about Canada and Canadian way of life. It has been always my greatest ambition to speak a second or even a third language fluently. I would love to seize the chance to study in English whilst living in the French speaking province Québec.
I expect from my study abroad a personal development. One of the main advantages of a cultural exchange is a better ability to understand different mindsets. I think it is important to have an open mind and give fellow students an understanding of someone’s own culture. Furthermore it is the challenge for every exchange student to reduce prejudices between different cultural backgrounds. I hope that I will develop such social competence during my studies at the Bishop’s University.
The Bishop’s University offers great opportunities to discover perspectives beyond the ordinary academic studies. Joining one of the many offered clubs reinforces a sense of community which is very important for me. Taking part in extracurricular activities will broaden my knowledge and improve my social skills. Additionally, taking courses of an average size of 22 students is a whole different learning experience than in Germany. To have personal contact to professors is very appealing. Thomas Fuller said “Knowledge is a treasure, but practice is the key to it.” and I am willingly to work hard for enlarging my academic expertise.
I am confident that through my academic knowledge, the international emphasis of my bachelor’s degree and my curiousness in regard to foreign cultures and languages, I am well suited for a year abroad at the Bishop’s University in Sherbrooke.
Yours sincerely,
Wie gesagt wäre ich sehr dankbar, wenn sich jemand mein Text mal durchliest,
liebe Grüße Mena
