Motivation letter for a Ph.D.

djoe — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 11:45:29 GMT

Hi everyone,

I have written a draft for a motivation letter, which i'll include in a Ph.D. application.

Because, at the moment, I don't have acces to someone from whom I can get feed back, I'll post it here, and hopefuly someone will be able to read it and comment.

Thank you in advance to whom might read it.

To whom it may concern,

Application for the *** Ph.D. Program

The present letter will explain the reasons why I'm applying to a Ph.D.
degree.

By enrolling on the undergraduate course on Systems and Informatics
Engineering at the *** University, I came in contact with different
paradigms, technics and methodologies for software development.

In the early years of my studies at the university I was a student of
Professor *** which introduced
me to the basis of Formal Methods for software development and verification.

Soon I discovered the interest for Formal Methods, and
got involved in the Grand Challenge in Computer Science initiative.
This experience gave me a taste of what research in Formal Methods is.

Before terminating the under-graduation I entered another challenge like
project, forming a team of students like my self for the ***
contest, under the category of Software Design.
We made it through to the *** finals with a project for a
distributed environment where mobile devices could be used to increment the
contents already available on social data sources like Wikipedia, and others.

Enrolling in the MSc on Informatics at *** was a natural choice in order to
keep working with, and in, Formal Methods,
allowing me to continue the research in the context of the Grand Challenge.
My thesis subject is ***, which includes
building formal models of a informal specification and it's correction
verification.

Under Professor ***'s supervision I have done research on the
possibility to use different tools for different aspects of the formal
development and verification of software.
Which lead to a paper submitted and, presented by me, on the ***
Workshop at the *** symposium.

The contact with researchers from all over the world made me want to keep
doing research on Formal Methods, and push the Grand Challenge initiative
further with my contribution.

In 2007 I was invited to join a development team, as a junior developer, to
design and build an information system for the "*** *** ***" (***).
From November/2007 to May/2008 I worked at the *** facilities together with
domain experts to design and build the software system, while maintaining the
research related with my MSc studies at the university.

I believe that through Formal Methods one can achieve true engineering
concepts for software correction by construction, and that, due to the
overwhelming expansion of software applications, not only critical systems
should be proven safe and correct.

Nowadays software is embedded in almost every system we use, and in most
cases,
the producers os these artifacts not only don't provide warranty, but will
relieve themselves from any obligation with disclaimer notices.

Formalizing software development, as other engineering driven development
communities have done in the past, will give it scientific grounds to hold on,
and probably increase its quality.

Kind Regards,

***

My strong desire to take a Business-related course in Great Britain began three years ago when I realized I was attracted to this dynamic field of logic and consistent patterns. Having a broad interest in many subject areas, I now seek to become as versatile as I can. Therefore, choosing a Business orientated degree seems to be a logical step for my studies at your University.

My vision for the future began very early, with a background selling newspapers and other things to my
neighbours as a child. However, my real familiarization with Business came later, during summer holidays, when I worked with documentation and contracts as an assistant for a construction company. As a result, I have gained invaluable experience working and communicating with clients. Moreover, I understood that every company's success is based on being a well-run organization with smart management. I have also participated in seminars and have read books related to business so that I could have a wider viewpoint of this competitive field. Regular reading of The Economist has kept me up-to-date with all the changes in economics, politics and business around the world. Knowing several foreign languages, such as English and German, will definitely be useful in my future career.

During my studies at the gymnasium, I obtained much new knowledge and experience. Participation in the gymnasium's academic and social life taught me to overcome challenges, to be a team player, and to adapt to any situation. This experience encouraged me to take on new challenges.

In my spare time I take part in extracurricular activities, such as playing guitar, taking photographs, reading books, travelling and sports. Apart from basketball, I also played football for 6 years and I was a candidate for Lithuania's National Football team. I am a determined and responsible person who appreciates hard work, is motivated, and enjoys creative challenges. With regards to Business, I think that these three features are the key to success.

Business studies at a British University have long been my desire. Studies at your University would certainly help to improve my language
and cooperation skills as well as guarantee interaction in a competitive atmosphere. It is no wonder why many international students prefer British Universities, since this country has the finest reputation for higher education around the world. In joining your University's community, I hope that my personality and hard work will bring some particular distinction to your institution.

Thank you for considering my application and I am looking forward to your positive reply.

Hello, I wrote this letter for international studies..I'd be very thankful if somebody could correct grammar and style in this letter. Thank you in advance :)

My strong desire to take a Business related course in Great Britain dates back about
three years ago, realizing that this dynamic field is the most attractive to me with it's
own logic and consistent pattern. Having a broad interest in many subject areas I seek to
be versatile as much as I can. Therefore, choosing a Business orientated degree seems to
be a logical step for my initial career at your University. So what are my future visions
and intentions?

I have always wanted to earn my own money by selling newspapers and other things to my
neighbours since I was child. However, my real familiarisation with Business came later.
During my last two summer holidays I had been working with documentation and contracts as
an assistant at a construction company. As a result, I have gained invaluable experience
working and communicating with clients. Moreover, I understood that every company's
success is based on it's well-run organization and smart management. I have also visited
few seminars and have read books related to business so I could have a wider viewpoint of
this compulsive field. Regular reading of The Economist keeps me up-to-date with all the
changes in economics, politics and business around the world. Knowing several foreign
languages such as English and German will be definitely useful for my future career.

During my studies at the gymnasium I have obtained a lot of new knowledge and experience.
Participation in gymnasium's academic and social life taught me to overcome challenges,
to work in a team, and to adapt to any situation. This experience encourages me to take
new challenges. Studies at your University would certainly help me to improve my language
and cooperation skills as well as it would guarantee a competitive atmosphere for further
perfection.

In my spare time I take part in some extracurricular activities, such as playing guitar,
taking photographs, reading books, travelling and sports. Apart from basketball, I also
had been playing football for 6 years and I was a candidate for Lithuania's National
Football team. I am a determined and responsible person who has a strong attitude and
particularly appreciates hard work, motivation and creativity. With regards to Business,
I think that these three features are the key to success.

Good work, Nenad. I have indicated corrections below in bold:

Dear Dr (Mr) ****:

The purpose of this letter is to supply basic information about myself, my education and my future academic interests and plans, since I would like to apply for a PhD program in your department.

My name is ******, presently a student in my final year in the Electrical Engineering faculty of ***** University. I expect to graduate in the next six months from the Department of Power Converters and Drives. In my previous education, I acquired knowledge in sciences and skills that cover the areas of energy conversion, power electronics and converters, electromagnetic and mechanical analysis of electric machines, motion controls algorithms and more. Also, I obtained skills in programming new generation microcontrollers (Texas Instruments DSP â C2000) and developing power electronic hardware. In addition to that, I attained a high level of laboratory skills owing to two years of experience as a laboratory assistant in the Department of Electrical Drives and Department of Electrical Heating Processes. Furthermore, one year as a collaborator at the Laboratory for Digital Control of Power Converters and Drives has contributed greatly to my research experience.

In my future professional development I see your PhD program as the way to broaden my knowledge in analyzing and evaluating processes with theoretical postulates and to obtain more experience as a researcher. Current PhD programs that are offered by your department, such as â***********â and â**********â, I see as great opportunities to achieve my goals. These programs propose areas of research that match my interests, such as power converter topologies for new actuator design, algorithms for motion control and their optimization, construction and energy efficiency of electric machines, and renewable energy generation and traction based on electric drives (hybrid vehicles, and railways based on linear and rotational motors).

Equipped with a good understanding of the academic principles, I will be able to adapt and expand my knowledge in order to meet new challenges. Tasks like complex hardware design and software demands I will be able to carry out successfully within time constraints. Applying my gained knowledge, I will be capable of effectively analyzing problems, making plans for necessary actions, carrying out laboratory experiments with patience and precision, providing complete documentation, and presenting my ideas and conclusions. My devoted time, energy and motivation will be at the highest level, because I am a persistent and goal-oriented person. Considering that (the) **country**** invests heavily in renewable energy and represents a leader in new technology research, I am certain that this environment will enable me to reach my full potential.

As a motivated and curious individual who can easily adapt to different situations, I hope that I will be an asset to your team. My friends know me as a very effective, hardworking and helpful team player, a fast learner, and a person with initiative. I enjoy learning and exploring possibilities and new ideas. Thrilled by the possibility of joining a group of professionals where I can apply and develop my skills, talents and enthusiasm, I am eager to receive a positive response from you. For any additional information that you may need, please contact me at [email address, mailing address]. If you wish to hear opinions from professors and coworkers at my university, please contact ****************.

Don't you already have to have a law degree to get an LLM? If so, shouldn't you mention that? Don't start with your mother, start with YOU. I want to pursue an LLM in European law for a number of reasons. I have grown up with an international perspective... [more]. Additionally,... [more]. I know that your institution is the right one for me because...

You must check your spelling!

Dear Sir or Madam,

As my mother grew up in Vietnam, and then lived in Lebanon, - how does this affect YOU if your mother grew up in one place and moved somewhere else?

I received a rather opened - not the right word. broad, perhaps? What do you mean to say?

education, which taught me to appreciate differences and led me to orient my interests toward the international sphere. Having had the opportunity to follow a former diplomat courses what do you mean "follow a former diplomat courses"? Can you say this another way?

during high school, I soon became convinced that my vocation was to work in the international field.

Now that international current affairs show European construction benefiting from a new impetus, What do you mean? What does this have to do with you? What is the new impetus that you refer to?

I think that my country, through its ~~particular~~ geopolitical position, will always need more foreign officers specialized in community law.

The high quality of your program, the legal tradition of the Nederlands - check spelling - this isn't the US spelling in International Law and the presence of numerous international organizations nearby have convinced me that your LLM program constitutes the ideal means to deepen my knowledge from this perspective.

Hi,

I am just writting a motivation letter for a PhD fellowship. A research school is offer some special training and seminars initially and leading to have an opportuninty to join into a research group and finally write the phD thesis. Could any of you help me to review the motivation letter bellow - especially the english grammer and so on? it would be highly appreciated.

Dear Sir/Madam,

With this letter, I would like to submit my candidature for the PhD studentship of âmolecular basis of plant developmentâ at The *** Institute for *** Research under the International *** School in ***(city).

I have completed Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) and Masters of Science (M.S.) at the department of *** under the University of ***. In my M.S. thesis, I had worked on Tissue culture and Biotechnology - successfully transferred marker gene and Fungal resistant gene in potato. My foundation has given me in-depth knowledge on subjects such as plant breeding, genetics, plant biochemistry, anatomy, physiology, pathology/immunology, cell biology, microbiology, and ecology. I have a good experience on isolation of plant genomic DNA and plasmid DNA, restriction digest and mapping, vector construction and cloning of vector, PCR and other biological techniques as well as tissue culture and genetic transformation of potato. .

I personally evaluate myself as a courteous, hard working, studious, open-minded and enthusiasm co-worker. In addition to my academic activities, I also have a chance to take part in many social volunteer activities which give me experiences in working individually or in team, working with foreigners, participating different workshops. Medium of instruction for both undergraduate and graduate degrees is English. Besides, I live in Germany for a year and have just completed 6 months full time German language course. I believe - both language skills make my communication easy to maintain good working relationships with individuals of different cultural backgrounds.

Regular seminars and training of soft skill/practical courses such as reverse genetics, non-invasive imaging, 3D-structural protein analysis, bioinformatics, novel mass spectrometry-based protein biochemistry etc. will provide me depth knowledge in molecular plant science. These skill set sharpen my research traits to strive myself to find something fundamental innovative research work. Therefore, I have endeavoured to upgrade my education and willing to participate into such a programme offered by IMPRS. Furthermore, after the successful completion of PhD thesis, I will gather strong knowledge and experience to build up my future research career as a scientist as well as taking part into the plant development of my country.

Thanking you in advance for your time and kind consideration of the selection for the fellowship. If you require any further information, please feel free to contact me. I am looking forward to hear a positive response from you soon.

Yours Sincere,

Hello and best regards dear editors,

After searching so long on internet to find some usefull information about writing a motivation letter I found this Forum. First of all I want to thank all those how are here to help people like me. I read about how to post and how to write letters here. I have already wrote my own and would like to ask your kind help to edit and improve it before I send to the institution where I applied. I paste the letter here under and hope to get an answer. I thank you in advance for your kind attention.

Sincerely, Kaveh

Dear Mr. -----,

I am graduated from Kiev National University of Construction and Architecture in 2004 and I obtained a master degree in Architecture of Buildings and Structures. As my thesis held a remarkable quality, I was invited to attend for PhD from the exam commission. I started my PhD on September 2004 with a 3 year contract in the mentioned university.

Through some reasons I left my PhD studies and shifted to the Netherlands on August 2005. With thinking of continuing my studies, I got to know about DTI before coming to the Netherlands and started my correspondents through email. But later I understood that in the Netherlands I will have new responsibilities from rules here and I have to follow a Dutch language course for 1.5 years, which is going to be finished by end of March 2007. Meanwhile I gathered new information and brochures through internet and TUDelft. By Getting to know more about DTI, I understood that for few reasons this is the best study and opportunity for me. One strong reason is the duration of the study, while doing a PhD is at least 4 years, and I am already 1.5 years away from higher education. I am not sure even if I can find a PhD research which I am interested in. Another reason is that I am a new comer to the Netherlands Architecture market and I have to learn much about the methods, styles and standards which is used here in the companies. As DTI is a combination of studying and working together, it would be easier for me to get to this market. One more important reason is my foreign diploma here which is going to be not trusted automatically and than investigated by every company I apply to work. But by getting DTI diploma, I am graduated from a high level recognised university with a registered title in the Netherlands.

Obtaining the ability to improve and renovate the architectural design processes seems to be necessary as the design and building industry are now mostly facing old practical but not scientifically methods. Todayâs fast developments in architecture and structures must meet the new concepts to manage different parts of the design process. DTI offers the knowledge to solve the management problems to improve the process design and making more effective and better quality of the projects.

These reasons and the knowledge I got in the information day of DTI, were enough to persuade me and make me think that with DTI I will be sure of my future carrier and diversify my professional education. Certainly this science presents wider possibilities to find a higher level position in design process worldwide. I am very motivated by self-interest on complex and greater architectural projects what I was busy with from the first day I started to work as an architect. DTI will teach me not only how these complexities are arranged in different phases, but how to manage them as well. I believe the management and finding solutions are higher and more important than being busy with only one phase of a design process as an architect. In the other hand gaining the required additional knowledge in technological management as well as in architecture, building and planning makes DTI a unique and unusual study for further developing in education and carrier.

I hope I can make a good progress with the vitality and the energetic style what I find in myself about DTI now. After I talked with the few students from DTI, I have more interests now to get to the study, as I understood about the very friendly and light atmosphere inside the faculty and between colleagues. I would welcome a personal interview to further discuss this opportunity. I thank you in advance for your kind attention to my letter and I hope to meet you in near future.

Sincerely yours,

Motivation letter

Can someone check my motivation letter?

Dear Sirs, > and >,

I am a 5th year student at faculty of Technology and Metallurgy, University of >. I would like to apply for program > at Technical University in >. At my faculty, I have already gained basic theoretical knowledge in sciences that are applied in industry. Courses that I studied during my education provided me skills at several disciplines like mass, energy and heat transfer, process analysis and regulation, unit operation and separation processes, construction of chemical as well as biochemical reactors, etc. Beside theory, my skills in laboratory are at high level and I have some experience in industry.

Program > design will provide me necessary practice in most developed chemical industry in the world, as well as the modern manner of being the professional chemical engineer, who is responsible and independent individual. That opportunity I do not have in my country, and because of that I must seek one from you. > and > is my first choice as a foreign country for my further education, both because fellow students have spoken very highly about your programs and because your country is the leader in chemical industry. Besides obvious reasons, may affection for your country have deeper roots.

No education is complete without experience. Armed with a solid understanding of academic principles, I will be able to adapt and modify my theoretical knowledge in order to meet challenges like identification and solving problems, finding technological solutions for design of processes and products in industry, involving creative way of thinking, respecting deadline etc. I am motivated and curious person who can easily adapt to any situation. My friends know me to be a very effective and helpful team player. I enjoy learning from others and helping others when I can. I am thrill by the opportunity to join a group of professional where I can apply my skills, talents, and enthusiasm.

I hope that you will consider me for this program. Thank you in advance. I am looking forward to your reply. Should you have any questions, please contact me.
