Da es für mich bald nach Amerika zum Austausch gehen soll, bin ich dabei mein Motivationsschreiben / Cover Letter zu verfassen.
Im großen und ganzen bin ich soweit fertig - nur würdige ich von fachkundigen Menschen gerne nochmal eine neutrale Meinung hören
To Whom It May Concern:
I am writing to apply for an opportunity to enhance my studies at the California State University: Long Beach as part of the Study USA program of the University of Applied Sciences Hamburg.
Two years ago, I came from Austria to Germany with my goal to get the best education provided in the specific field of Biotechnology. As I am currently in my third semester, I am looking forward to lift up my personal development to an even higher level. Studying abroad is the most convincing possibility for me to widen up my own spectrum of knowledge.
Since the beginning of my educational career I liked the idea of the exchange of different cultures and countries, so I became part of the Buddy-Program. This program provided guidance and support for incoming exchange students.
One of the appreciated side effects was that I got a good overview of the exchange program the University of Applied Sciences offers. While talking to our exchange students originating from
CSU: Long Beach this American University caught my attention.
The state of California has always been an engine in the research of chemistry and biology. With important companies like Celera Genomics and a wide field of smaller companies spread all over California, having the opportunity to study as an exchange student would be an overwhelming milestone.
During my past years, I gained valuable experiences while being an intern at a wide variety of facilities. The most nameable is the Office for Solar Architecture at the Energy Institute of Vorarlberg, Austria. Furthermore I participated in the prestigious governmental GEN-AU Summer School Internship at the Private University of Medicine in Hall, Tyrol for two summer terms in the field of Bioinformatics. Moreover I competed in a youth science project in Austria, providing an economical and ecological solution for a textile problem affecting our high-class winter tourism in several ski resorts.
As the CSU: Long Beach offers a great variety of different scientific fields, I had the opportunity to get a small preview of the courses in the chemical department as well as in the biological sciences department. Adding like Biomolecular Modeling and Biochemical Engineering to my personal knowledge and working with equipment that is not provided in Hamburg would be an eminent part of my personal education.
Being part of the exchange-program is a bilateral process. Additionally to gaining new experiences it is about also sharing them with others. I’m very keen on sharing my culture with my fellow students and letting them profit from my presence. I am dedicated to always reach out for the best and show a high commitment. With my ability to relate with people, my wide-spread knowledge and my determination to use this exchange program as a capstone of my future career I am the right choice for this program.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely,
Ich hoffe, der passt von der Struktur her. Verschont mich nicht mit harscher Kritik, irgendwie muss ichs ja lernen :>
Vielen dank im vorraus!
