Dear Madam, Sir,

I am writing to apply for the Erasmus student exchange programme at the Aristotle
University of Thessaloniki. I would like to spend next semester of my study course at the
Aristotle University of Thessaloniki in Greece. Currently, I am student of the University
of Craiova, at the study programme of National and Euro-Atlantic Security.

I would honor the opportunity if you accept me for the Erasmus programme, because it
will mean a lot for me and my future career prospective. Firstly, it would definitely be a
very efficient and successfully method to improve my English and to expand my
knowledge in the field of political science. I have been learning English as my first
foreign language since age of ten, and I believe that this experience at the Aristotle
University of Thessaloniki will improve a lot my knowledge because I will get a chance
to communicate with students in similar circumstances. Moreover, I will cherish the
opportunity to learn more about social sciences, since the Aristotle University of
Thessaloniki has a great reputation in that field.

I would like to emphasize that I am eager to benefit from this programme, as I will get to
know better Erasmus students from the whole Europe, exchanging experiences and
practices. I advocate the opinion that Erasmus programme is excellent opportunity to
meet various groups of young people, spend quality time with them and get to know their
habits, attitudes, lifestyle, etc. Also, living, studying and having fun within international
scholars would broaden my horizons and enable me to build strong social network with
people through our continent.

Studying at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki I would have a chance to compare

the Greek higher education system and Romanian one. If I become a student of the

Aristotle University of Thessaloniki I will use this comparison to promote the Greek
educational system not only in my homeland, but in the whole EU also.

The reasons for choosing the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki are:

Learning another foreign language, and get familiar with Greek culture and
customs;
To expand my knowledge and study in a different environment than the one at
University of Craiova;
Enhance my chances to find a better employment, as I will get a truly
multicultural experience, highly valuated nowadays among employers.

I would be very grateful if you consider my application and give me a chance to

participate in the Erasmus programme at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, which
would mark my future professional and personal development.

Thank you very much in advanced for your consideration.

Yours faithfully,

Maria-Narcisa Vldescu
