In the last years I have been working on different projects related with nanoscience in collaborations with my University and the applied physics department of the CIVESTAV-IPN. Due to these investigations I had the opportunity to present some of my results in different international congresses, which give me an opportunity to take a look of how fast is growing the fields of nanoscience and nanotechnology and how wide it can be. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;During my whole life I have been interested in understanding the way things work and due to my undergraduate studies I have achieved a basic knowledge of many of the mechanisms present in actual technology. Throughout the development of my thesis project I had the opportunity to get involved with the amazing field of ânanoscienceâ and since that moment my interest in this field has been growing. However I still have a long way to go in my learning process. Therefore to be part of this master in nanoscience and nanotechnology would be an important contribution to my academic formation and also an incredible cultural experience. The knowledge I get from this master would help me not only to continue with my doctoral studies and lead new scientific investigations but also to transmit my experience to the new generations of students.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On a personal side, I am a very dedicated person with a strong sense of responsibility towards my work. I enjoy challenges and get great satisfaction in the process of learning and solving problems. I also love to do sports and interact with people from different cultures. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Thank you very much in advance for your help. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;I look forward to hearing from you.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Yours faithfully,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Eng.

If you have any further questions, do not hesitate to ask me.I will try my best to improve it .Thanks a lot.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Dear Sir or Madam:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I am writing to you to apply for your Master programme âEconomics of International Trade and European Integrationâ. I will successfully complete my bachelor degree in June next year and I am committed and motivated to graduate study afterwards.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Growing up in a beautiful seaside city where trade with other Asian countries especially Japan and Korea has developed quickly since Chinaâs policy of Reforming and Opening up was adopted, I am greatly excited by our new open environment and have had a strong interest in international trade from an early age. Consequently, the idea of engaging in such trade has become a beacon in the ocean of my life, indicating the direction not only my study but also of my future career when I encounter important choices.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;In fact, such a powerful enthusiasm and interest actually originated by chance from a successful and impressive experience. Once my father was doing business with a Korean, however, the translator was not available because of something important. I volunteered to be their translator because of my strong curiosity, though I did not really know what trade was all about. To my surprise, I was so excited to realize how fascinating the process was: Expressing their demands and statements, discussing, bargaining, making concessions and signing the final contract. Then a deal was done after such a long, complex and intense process but one that was interesting and almost incredible to my eyes. Not only was I proud of myself for being able to act as the translator because of my good ability at mastering English as well as my extrovert personality but I also set a goal for my life â doing business with people all over the world not just in Asia.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Naturally, I chose International Trade as my major at university, an opportunity for me to learn the basic theory and policies of International Trade. In my economics class, I learned how prices, preferences, and incomes affect peopleâs demand for goods. I also acquired knowledge of how various factors - government policies, currency exchange rates and balance of international trade - affect a countryâs economic growth. After more than three yearsâ study, I realize that trade is a process where people communicate with each other and make progress simultaneously, a true meaning of âEconomic Globalizationâ. Therefore, I have now decided to study aboard to avoid being narrow-minded and short-sighted. Having basic knowledge will be a solid foundation to allow me to better continue my further study and become more expert in International Trade.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;It is worth mentioning that a memorable experience in the university confirmed my motivation to continue my study and empowered me with strength and courage. Once our class was divided into several groups and asked to perform several surveys, discuss case by case then form a conclusion about âwhat is the most important factor in International Tradeâ. Unlike other groups who worked separately and ineffectively, I insisted on team-work and properly organized and comprehensive investigations. In my own opinion, imagination was the leading factor but initially others did not agree with me. After long time spent discussing and listening to each otherâs views, my opinion came to win general agreement and attracted favourable compliments from our teachers. I become more confident and assured that I am suitable to do work relevant to international trade, a profession which requires the ability to communicate with and persuade others as well as the gift of observing things differently and creatively.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;As I have stated, I am a very serious, goal-oriented individual motivated to evolve constantly and to equip myself with the knowledge and power to succeed in the future. One of my goals is to work in different departments of an international company. Furthermore, I long for the opportunity to work with people from all kinds of cultures. Without doubt, your programme of âEconomics of International Trade and European Integrationâ will be a marvelous opportunity for me to master such a combination of knowledge and cultures as not only to advance my career but also to enrich my thinking and to give me even more exposure to diverse cultural backgrounds. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Finally, let me reiterate my passionate desire to participate in your programme. Please find enclosed a copy of my &lt;a href="/English/MotivationLetterUniversity/2/whlj/Post.htm" target="_blank" title="/English/MotivationLetterUniversity/2/whlj/Post.htm"&gt;resume&lt;/a&gt; with additional information about my qualifications. Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to receiving your favourable reply.&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I am a very serious, goal-oriented
individual motivated to
evolve constantly and to equip myself with the knowledge
and power to succeed in the future. One of my goals is work in different departments of an international
company. Furthermore I desire the opportunity to work with people from all kind
of cultures. And your institution with oneâs Modern didactical principles
provides broad education in various functions. Additionally, I admire the fact
that the training stuff is available for counseling and guidance throughout the
studies and also a study career supervisor. It exhibits that you care about
welfare and success of your students.On account of this, Iâm convinced with a
bachelor degree acquired at your institution, I will be able meet my
expectation and desires.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Studying at
the commercial college Iâve learned to perform tasks and projects with people
from different cultures and with different languages. And I also was
already able to gain some experience by my internships in emphases you offer
during the study. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Going through your IBE Brochure I caught up the
contribution by Lonneke
Hendrix and find it very impressive. It affirmed me in my conception and my
ardent desire to study at your institution. Moreover Iâve obtained by the
brochure, that you apply the Major-Minor Model, which I consider as an
excellent way to study.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;My independence and full responsibility
for myself have driven me to a higher level of maturity than many of my peers,
a quality that differentiates me from many other applicants.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;P&gt;I am working on my letter of motivation for a while. And I have already tried to take as much advice&amp;nbsp;from this page as possible. but I am still not&amp;nbsp;confident about my own&amp;nbsp;text. It would be very kind if someone were able to look my text over!&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Thanks a lot! It's kind of urgent. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Dear Sir or Madame, &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Your Bachelor programme âInternational Businessâ which begins September 2007 is the one I am interested in and I hereby wish to apply for a place in this programme. I am currently learning for the German Abitur, which I am taking in the end of April. When I visited your homepage it immediately caught my attention since I am so interested in the English language and in studying in small groups. My desire to study in this particular field also reflects my interests in organisation as well as my interests in different countries, people and cultures. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Sometimes in school, I was given the opportunity to work in small groups and I figured out that learning this way was the easiest for me and was also a lot of fun. Collaboration with a diverse group of students will also gives me the opportunity to organise and maybe also to lead a group. In my opinion, this is always a challenge and makes learning more exciting. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Organisation is the part I like most about this kind of learning, because I have done so for my entire life. When I was young, it started by planning each day in every detail; beginning with the right order of my clothing (which was of course lying right beside my bed in the morning) and ending with putting all my toys in the right formation before going to bed. Since then I never stopped being very thorough: before I do something there always has to be a plan! I am already famous for this attitude and my hostfamily back in Oregon is missing those kind of things about me. Sometimes, they are still teasing me with my to-the-plan-sticking, but in a very lovely way of course. Right now, I am fullfilling my study plan of the German Abitur in May, which I worked out in February (I will be on top of things!).&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The University of Maastricht is famous for its international character, which makes it even more attractive for me. My parents found it important to show me as much as possible of other countries and cultures. Therefore, we travelled about three times a year to other countries (Greece, Italy, France, Great Britain, and other European countries). My sister is studying in Prague, so she is familiar with the Czech culture and I am able to get to know it as well. My grandparents and my mother lived in Brasil for a very long time and it is interesting for me to learn about their experience. On top of things my parents gave me the opportunity to go to the U.S.A. for one year (which I was of course planning by myself!). Since then I am fascinated by other cultures even more. This experience gave me many opportunities to get an impression of different cultures: my hostfamily is American, the area around Portland is influenced by Mexican people and in school I had many Asian friends. In high school, I also took Spanish, which was always very entertaining, since my teacher (SeÃ±or Ricardo) was very into the Mexican culture.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Living in the U.S.A., I learned the English language almost automatically. Nevertheless, I want to improve my proficiency in English since it is still very superficial. Therefore, studying in this language is very attractive for my improvement in English.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;After my graduation I am looking forward to be able to understand the complexity of business management. To gain already a first impression about this working environment I will accomplish a&amp;nbsp;work placement&amp;nbsp;(in German: âPraktikumâ) for about three months this summer. It is taking place in a very large company, called EDEKA. There, I will be given the opportunity to get to know several areas of business. At first, I will work in the accounting district, and I am sure it will be very exciting and challenging. Certainly, the practical course will prepare me very well for my further education. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Of my college education in Maastricht I expect to learn more about managing people, the international market and people. But I also think the theoretical background is very important. That is why, I am interested in business administration, economics and international law as well. In the future, I am certainly going to work with many different people, consequently subjects like psychology and sociology will be important for my further education as well. I am eager to take those classes, because it will be a completely new&amp;nbsp; study area for me. Unfortunately, I was never able to take classes like this in Germany.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Since I was in first grade, I liked Math the most. It became a constant favourite of mine and I even received a Math-Award during my high school year in America. Back in Germany, I took it as one of my most important classes (in German: âLeistungskursâ). I think&amp;nbsp; that is a very good condition of becoming a manager of a company. Mangaging is all about numbers and analytical skills, so it is important to be familiar with logical relations.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Maastricht seems to be a very nice city. I heard about all the bicycles and the family-like atmosphere. To get a better impression I am looking forward to the Open Day on the 24&lt;SUP&gt;th&lt;/SUP&gt; of March. I read so many positive aspects about Maastricht and I am sure I will not be disappointed. I grew up in a similar environment, so I will probably fit in very well.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I cannot wait to study âInternational Businessâ and to be prepared for an international ever-changing career!&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Please find enclosed my Resume. Kindly contact me if you require any further details or documents. I hope to hear from you in the near future.&lt;/P&gt;</description></item><item><title>hi here is my letter of motivation.. please help me to upgrade it</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/LetterMotivationUpgrade/vrhkg/post.htm</link><pubDate>Tue, 06 Mar 2007 11:28:30 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:336283</guid><dc:creator>Anonymous</dc:creator><description>&lt;P&gt;My motivation letter is not finished yet, but if there are somebody who will check it, I will benefit so much in order to make it as good as possible&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Thanks for help&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I am writing to apply for the Research Master programme in International Economics and Business (IE&amp;amp;B) at the University of ............&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Since February 2007, I held a four-year bachelor's degree in Business Administration from&amp;nbsp;.... University, TURKEY. This includes one-year of study, my fourth, at the University of Groningen as an Erasmus student. However, it does not contain one-year English Language preparation programme that I attend before the beginning of my bachelor courses. Since the language of instruction at my university was English, it was neccessary to engage in a solid English course for the betterment of my foreign language proficiency.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;From the outset of my undergraduate education, my career ambition is to embark on academic research in the fields of where economics and business overlap. Although, there are plenty of research areas that are related to both business and economics, during my extended period of study, I want to focus primarily on in the areas of...... and thus to develop this as my specialisation. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;During my bachelor phase, I took courses that focus on the merits of both management and economics. In other words, since I have the awareness about the requirements regarding a succesful career in international business and economics, I prepared myself academically for my interested research area by learning the rudiments of both economics and business. Classes that I engaged in include international marketing, international finance, security markets and exchance analysis, organizational behaviour, human resources behaviour, microeconomics, macroeconomics, financial decision analysis, consumer bahaviour, and so on. These courses provided me with vast knowlege regarding the basics of both economics and business. Therefore, I have a good understanding of business and economics concepts, theories, that is crucial in completing my planned master programme at ....&amp;nbsp;successfully.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Finally, I kindly want to indicate my request in order to be considered for one of the scholarships that is provided to&amp;nbsp;....Research School by the University of .......&lt;STRONG&gt;I am very ambitious to pursue a career of academic research in the fields of international economics and business especially at a university that provides me with a truly international environment. From my previous one-year study as an exchange student at ....., I had the opportunity of&amp;nbsp; experiencing the high level international environment in the learning and reseach activities at ..... However, as I cited before, I am really in need of financial aid in order to able to start my career in an international university, in this case at the University of&amp;nbsp;...... I need a scholarship chifly because &lt;/STRONG&gt;the tuition fees are extremely high for a non-EU student compared to a EU/ EEA student. If I am considered as an appropriate candidate for the financial help, this situation will absolutely motivate me to maintain a successful career. I will be extremely grateful for your support and look forward to being able to contribute to the community once I get into my career either as a researher or teacher.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I sincerely hope that my personal qualities and educational experience will be sufficient for you to consider me an appropriate match. If there is any possibility of arranging an interview, I would appreciate hearing from you. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I have enclosed my resume and I am looking forward to a response from your side. Thank you for your time and consideration.&lt;/P&gt;

Thanks a bunch for your helps. Phuong&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;------------------------&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;My name is Phuong, Nguyen Thi Nam and I am a citizen of Vietnamese currently working at the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) under the Embassy of Switzerland in Hanoi. I am submitting herewith my completed application form for the Master of Economic Expertise and International Projects Management together with my CV for your perusal and consideration.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Iâve graduated from the Hanoi Foreign Languages Study University. English is my studied language over four years at the University. Since my graduation in 1995, Iâve been working constantly in international environment specifically in the field of Project Cycle Management (PCM) and English is my working language.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;My current work and the works with project namely âUNDP assistance to the preparation of a Socio Economic Development Strategy for Viet Nam 2001 â 2010â that I have been through required to have high level of management, monitoring and writing skills. The Mater of Economic Expertise and International Projects Management course is a desire of mine as it fits so well to my current work. This would enrich my knowledge and practical experiences to better manage and monitoring the projects in both aspects of financial and technical effectively and efficiently. The PMU 18 is an example of bad management specifically in terms of finance management. I would therefore very much like to attend to this course in order to better support the organisation in PCM in particular and to dedicate my small contribution to the nation in general.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;My resume and the letters of recommendation from my current box and from Mr. Klaus Greifenstein, the former Programme Officer of UNDP that I was under his monitor and supervision, are enclosed for your information and consideration. I hope my qualification would suite the Programme. Should you have any queries, please do not hesitate to let me know at the above contact details.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I look forward to hearing from you soon.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Sincerely yours,&lt;/P&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: MASTER OF PUBLIC HEALTH,</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/MasterOfPublicHealth/bcrxq/post.htm#93601</link><pubDate>Tue, 26 Apr 2005 12:10:54 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:93601</guid><dc:creator>abbie1948</dc:creator><description>These guideleines are from the following site:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://medweb.uni-muenster.de/fachschaft/service/famul/letter_of_motivation.html&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It refers to medical clerkship / internship, but you can adapt it for you special purpose.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;GUIDELINES TO WRITE A LETTER OF MOTIVATION&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This letter must be addressed to the professor or supervisor of your desired department. It should be written in English or in the native language of your chosen country.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The letter should be personal and include at least the following points:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why do you want to do a clerkship abroad? &lt;br /&gt;Why do you want to go to that particular country for a clerkship? &lt;br /&gt;What is your interest in your chosen clerkship? &lt;br /&gt;What do you expect from your clerkship? &lt;br /&gt;What would you like to do during your clerkship? &lt;br /&gt;Do you have any practical experience? (Medical practice in hospital, laboratory work etc.) &lt;br /&gt;Theoretical knowledge?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This advice is from baltic Youth corporation:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  http://www.byco.info/Motivation.htm&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; .: HOW TO WRITE a Letter of motivation:. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In this letter, the person who wants to become a volunteer, should give a detailed explanation including:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Why you want to go to the chosen organisation (choose 1-3 host-organisations from the next pages).&lt;br /&gt;2. Why you want to make a voluntary service and what expectations you have.&lt;br /&gt;Do you have any experience working in cross-cultural settings? What kind of work do you enjoy most?&lt;br /&gt;3. What possibilities do you see for your personal development through this voluntary service?&lt;br /&gt;4. What benefit would have both the hosting and sending organisation from your activities?

How do you see yourself in the BYCo network and/or in other international projects?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;IMPORTANT:&lt;br /&gt;As you notice the questions above are not all of the questions and points which should be clarified and described in the letters. Any extra information is useful. The more information we have about the volunteers, the fairer the decision to acceptor reject their application becomes. The style of writing can be free, perfect English is not a criteria or a problem because the letter is only for inside use- not for EU. The information is used to let the host organisation and also the project co-ordinating organisation know what kind of people are getting involved in BYCo and will also make the âdecision making processâ more fair and easier.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Personal information (CV/resume):&lt;br /&gt;- Address (please: postal and also email)&lt;br /&gt;- Education and language skills (written and spoken)&lt;br /&gt;- Hobbies&lt;br /&gt;- Experience and skills&lt;br /&gt;- Special needs ....etc.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; See if you can draft something, then post it here and we'll give you some help. &lt;img src="/emoticons/emotion-1.gif" alt="Smile [:)]" /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
