My statement of purpose / Motivation letterThis is a discussion thread · 1 replies Anonymous: Hello, I had to write a statement of purpose for my stay abroad (Erasmus). Would someone read it and give me some hints concerning vocabulary or syntax? Thank you very much for your effort! Dear Sir or Madam, with this letter I want to explainmy motivation to spend one semester in Norway generally and at the BI NorwegianSchool of Management in particular to broaden my business acquirements and my individual experiences. I am currentlyin my seventh semester at my studies in BusinessAdministration and Engineering (Dipl.-Ing.) and I am scheduling my stay abroad forthe 10th semester which is my last graduate semester, starting injanuary 2008. After an internship I am going to finalise my studies at the end of the 11thsemester. From an experience abroad I amexpecting a challenge in professional and personal domains and I hope forimproving my knowledge, my language ability and other crucial qualifications ata distinguished university in the culturally and historically very interesting capital city of Oslo. Getting a new perspective on my life from a foreign european country isone of my major intents. I finished my undergraduate studies verysuccessfully in the fifth semester, whereupon I was furthermore permited to attend some graduate courses. In my graduate courses I focussedtechnically on automobile engineering an logistics, economically on infrastructureand in business on finance / investment and strategic management, whereupon my performance was above average hitherto . Because my semester abroad isgoing to be my last one, I will bring along plenty of knowledge, what keeps determined and prosperous studies at BINorwegian School of Management in good stead. Among my studies I am working at the XXXX, an economic teaching and researchunit in the School of Economics & Management at Berlin University ofTechnology as a project assistant. This is were a also wrote my “Studienarbeit”whichdeals with an economic theme concerning comparisons between“Public-Private-Partnerships” and the traditional procurement apprioac h. In the framework of the projectwork at the WIP, where I am consigned with basically technical exercise s, my skills to work arduous,motivated and my ability to work under hard pressure are appraised very positive. By reason of atechnical relevant third-party funds project lasting until December 2007,it is regrettably not possible for me to spend a whole academic year abroad. In addition to my studies I amalways interested in broadening my acquiredbusiness-management and engineeringabilities with practical experiences. Thus I twice attended a case study-competitionof a big consultancy successfully and visited factories of the ThyssenKrupp AGduring a several day lasting excursion. Past my degree I am planning a career in the field of management with a bias towards automotiveindustry, whereas am not commited yet. Work placements and other practical experiences aswell as my work at the WIP should encourage my decision making. I choose the country of Norway as mydesired destination abroad, because I am fascinated by this country already for a longtime. With an unique history and its inimitable residents and the terrific nature,Norway provides a multitude of well worth knowing and unique peculiarities. Becausethe language of instruction is going to be English and thislanguage accompanied my until my “Abitur” in an specialised course, I discernno problems in communication during and besides the studies. Thereby I think itwill be feasible to settle in the norwegian society and to experience theculture and people. During three long journeys, I had the chance to discover –even if from a perspective of an vacationist – the interesting and enrichingsides of Norway and its citizens. The BI Norwegian School ofManagement provides an opportunity for me to achive the goals I expect from astay abroad. The BI as the largest business school in Europe is a worldwide known andreputable, international orientated school and it would be an ideal supplementto my attended studies with the courses I selected from the wide range ofcourse options. The consequent demand to educate for ansuccessful career accomodates me very much. The courses offered fit very well with my hithertoexisting studies, my interests and my abilities because teamwork, ??? and ??? looms large. Studies at the BI Norwegian Schoolof Management would furthermore, due to the internationality of the school, providean insight into nationalities and cutures throughout the world. This would openup new and diverse perspectives and is would broaden my horizon with supposablygrandiose experiences. I hope with this letter I revealedmy impetus and my desire to spend one semester in an amazing country at anunique school of management. I feel confident that my qualifications are more than sufficient and that I am able tomeet the postulated and the forthcoming demands. I am looking forward to a potentialsemester at the BI Norwegian School of Management and I hope I managed toconvince you of mypersonatio n and my request. Hopefully you get down to a positive appraisal of myapplication. Thank you very much for your efforts.
