Contoh Motivation Letter: Master di Bidang International Relations

Dear Sir/Madam,

With this letter I would hereby like to apply for the Master in International Management and
International Relations program implemented by the University of Vienna, starting in September
2017. I am highly motivated young professional, and I perceive that this degree course will be
beneficial for my future career. I am confident that my strong academic background in Business
Management and Administration, supplemented with several courses taken in the field of
international relations and development make me a strong candidate for this competitive
program.

I hold bachelor degree in Business Management and Administration from the University of
Athens, awarded with honors, among best students in class. Since I have clearly determined
career goals, I would like to continue my education abroad, preferably in Austria, because I do
not see that Greece provides enough opportunities for my professional aspirations. International
relations are a natural choice for me because of my various international experiences, deep
interest in other cultures and strong language skills in foreign languages. Since I am very
interested in the issues of international development and management of international
organizations, I plan to peruse my career in some International organization, and therefore I
believe degree program offered by the University of Vienna is an excellent kick of point toward
this goal.

I have sound knowledge of English language, which I have gained through attending language
classes in UK, for several summers. Furthermore, I have practiced my English in
communicating with native speakers, and on the internship I have completed with UNHCR in
Athens, Greece.

I would like to learn more about international politics, international relations and development,
and after going through curricula of this Master program, I believe that I will have opportunity to
educate myself in these fields. As this is an emerging area in terms of present developments on
the international sphere, I would be glad to get the opportunity to become student of the
University of Vienna, having in mind its renown name, and the fact that Vienna is a host to
several UN agencies.

I would also like to bring to your attention that I have completed Erasmus student exchange
program in Brussels, so I have experience in living abroad and acquainting with people coming
from different countries and cultures. This experience helped to boost my individual potential
and encouraged me to peruse my Master degree studies abroad.
I believe that with my work and studies I have a solid foundation, but through the Master’s
program I hope to develop expertise in international studies focusing on the International
relations and management.

Thank you very much for considering my application and I am looking forward to hearing from
you.

Sincerely,

Contoh Motivation Letter: Master di Bidang Civil Engineering

Dear Sir, Madam,

I am very glad to be applying for the Master of Science programme in Civil Engineering offered
by Bologna University for the first semester of 2017. I am a proud Civil Engineer, with an
emphasis in Project Management from University of Ljubljana. I am a very dedicated, disciplined
and intellectual person, which allowed me to graduate with a 4.2/5 GPA, never having to repeat
any of my courses, or retake the exams.

Although I was born in Slovenia and my native language is Slovenian, I also consider English to
be one of my native languages, because when I was 5 years old my parents took the amazing
decision of moving to the United States where I lived five years during my childhood. This
opportunity gave me many advantages in life. The first being; to have not one, but 2 native
languages and second it taught me to learn, live and be educated by diverse cultures. This is
one of the reasons I am very motivated to study in Italy and learn from its excellent professors
from one of the most recognized institutions in Italy.

Everyone throughout their lives dream of traveling or living in some country around the world,
for me that has always been Italy. A week ago, an opportunity was presented to my boyfriend to
study his masters in Italy, and ever since I started to find an opportunity for myself to finally live
where I have dreamt of my whole life, study what I love and to be close to the person that I see
myself spending the rest of my life with. I started to search different MSc degrees for civil
engineering in universities near Bologna, investigating all the courses and its competences in
different areas. I was recommended the Bologna University and I found that it is top university in
Italy according to the QS World University Rankings® 2018. Therefore, there was no question
that this is where I would want to obtain my master’s degree, not only was it the best university
in Italy but it offered a program that had everything I was looking for.

Admission into this program would be a step towards becoming a better and more educated civil
engineer. It is a perfect addition to the knowledge I obtained in undergraduate school, where I
have acquired strong principles of physics and mathematics for planning design, construction,
and operation of infrastructure projects. I hope to learn and explore more in structural and non-
structural fields, obtaining knowledge in mitigation of natural and anthropic hazards and risk
management. This giving me the perfect tools and knowledge not to only design structures and
infrastructures but to be able to evaluate their environmental impacts. I also hope to reinforce
and perfect previous experience and education on how to plan, control and manage different
civil engineering projects.

Considering my academic performance so far and my longing to enrich my knowledge in civil

engineering, personal and professional experiences. As a determined and self-motivated
person, I am confident that I will be an excellent addition to the university and the MSc program

Thank you very much for considering my application and I am looking forward to hearing from
you.

Contoh Motivation Letter: Master di Bidang Interior Design

Dear Sir, Madam

With this letter I am applying to Master of Arts Program in Interior Design and Spatial Planning
at the University of Arts in Milan, Italy.

I hold a graduate degree in Building Surveying from University of Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia,
which I have gained in October 2015. Studying at the University of Arts in Milan, a well-known
academy, will give me the opportunity to benefit from its dynamic environment which develops
creative thinking, under training and supervision of the best lecturers in my field of choice.
Recent methods and realistic case studies in this university can prepare me to work in the
industry after graduation.

My willingness to study in construction field, started from my teenage period when I found out
about my parents’ background in building related jobs. It influenced me to enter a vocational
high school to study architectural drawing and to follow the same approach by taking an
associate degree at Interior Design from University of Berlin in Germany. I was eager to study in
a more dynamic educational system and also passionate to challenge myself by living abroad to
face my weaknesses and develop my diligent characteristics. Therefore, I started my bachelor
in one of the best universities in Malaysia. During my bachelor, I gained knowledge on various
aspects of building and factors affecting occupants’ comfort and health.

Taking my study path in different Built Environment fields, Architectural Drawing and Building
Surveying, widened my view and persuaded me to enhance my knowledge in other related
fields. Following my excitement in Green Building, I carried out my thesis and internship in
relation to this area that taught me important factors in green and sustainable design. In
addition, my previous ability in painting helped me a lot in representing my ideas. Having taken
all these steps and the enthusiasm to design interior spaces, I find myself qualified to fulfil the
requirements to study in Interior and Spatial Design program.

I privilege the refurbishment and renovation of interior environment, where possible, rather than
building demolition, to keep the architectural identity of urban environments. Therefore, in my
thesis, I focused on replacement of building elements to improve the existing buildings
performance. I believe, whether to build a new building or renovate its interior spaces, only a
proper interior and spatial design can positively enhance the application of the interior
environment.

In my country many of the old buildings are being replaced with modern ones as a response to
the needs for new spaces with different functions which are not in harmony with the local
architecture. On the other hand, not all new projects are designed with proper interior spaces.
That is why, I have a strong desire to be able to apply my knowledge in designing interior
spaces for both existing and new settings in my country. Maintaining the existing precious
buildings, and at the same time, properly meeting the needs for any range of interior functions
are highly required in Iran where there is a huge number of old and historical buildings that can
be saved and used for different functions. It is enthusiastic for me to be involved in undertaking
such projects.

Having in mind above stated, I perceive as essential to continue postgraduate studies in a

country which is well known for its history and knowledge in design and architecture. By
studying at University of Arts in Milan I hope to learn about the recent design techniques and
strategies so that I can apply them back in my country. The cross cultural learning environment
of Your University which is specialized in architecture and industrial design is a great chance for
me to develop my personal and professional skills.

To better introduce my background and skills I have enclosed the CV and portfolio together with
this motivation letter. Thank you for considering my application.

Yours faithfully,

ideas brings to smarter solutions and better living for the whole world. The scholarship is the key
to successful professional life and realization of potential. The IT industry rapidly evolves
creating new challenges. Thus, constant learning is dramatically important for IT professionals.

I am an easy-going and hard-working person who likes traveling, meeting new people and
experiencing diverse cultures. What is more, I am a fan of sport. I used to actively participate in
gymnastics, tennis and biathlon in which I achieved sport grades. Definitely, these kinds of sport
effected my personality, gave me strong willpower and the wish to deal with new challenges and
always win. Sport develops the leadership skills that I applied, for instance, when organized my
fellow students to become blood donors in a local hospital. As a result, we have been blood
donors for a long time already.
In conclusion, I sincerely believe that I am qualified enough, possess strong academic
background and research skills to be able to perform well in the Master`s program as well as
contribute to the University and the IT industry in a whole. Thank you for your time and

Contoh Motivation Letter: Master di Bidang International Business

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to apply for Master program in International Business at the GRENOBLE ECOLE
DE MANAGEMENT starting in autumn 2017. This May, I hope to graduate from Corvinius
University in Budapest from Business Administration bachelor program, as one of the top
students in in the class.

During my studies I have developed special interest for the finance and marketing, because I
perceive both disciplines to be concerned with building and maintaining a business strategy that
leads to success. I was especially fascinated with the strategies companies used to adapt to
changes in consumers’ expectations and needs and how they maintain profitable business in
rigorous environment. Therefore I see that advanced study on these topics presents an exciting
challenge which I want to pursue in my future.

Since I highly value globalization process I have always wanted career in international business.
Due to this fact, but also due to the current shortage of qualified employees in international
companies, I would like to become a professional in International Business with a wide practical
and theoretical base.

As a step to my goal, I have conducted several research projects. Through the research on
financial diagnostics of an enterprise I learned tools and methods for analysis of financial health
of local enterprise. The other research project was focused to international market segmentation
of the Hungarian market of dairy products. As a result of the research I have found out that in
order to survive and be lucrative, the international company has to be extremely flexible and
adaptive to competitive environment. In that line I have designed the proposal for my Bachelor
thesis, and I plan to do a research on adaptation strategies international companies utilize for
German market of dairy products.

My first exposure to real life work in the field of marketing was an internship in international
marketing consulting firm, in their field office in Budapest, Hungary. I contributed to the company
by winning the tender with the plan of promotion events for new brand of beer, which was about
to be introduced to Hungarian market. The internship gave me an excellent insight into the
company, since I had an outstanding opportunity to explore different working methods and
practice the knowledge I gained at university. I have gathered good communication skills as well
as gained the understanding of East European adverting market.
As a member of National fencing team, I have developed the capabilities to work in stressful,
challenging, and fast-paced environments. I will bring those skills to the master studies as well,
and apply them in my future professional career.

I first learnt about GRENOBLE ECOLE DE MANAGEMENT from the education fair, held in
Budapest, when I spoke with the school representatives and one full time professor who
teaches in the school. In addition to that I got recommendation from a friend who was an
exchange school in your school and recommended it as a perfect learning environment.

I would also like to bring to your attention that I have completed Erasmus student exchange
program in Stockholm, Sweden, so I have experience in studying abroad and acquainting with
people coming from different countries and cultures. This experience helped to boost my
individual potential and encouraged me to peruse my Master degree studies abroad.

I believe that with my work and studies I have a solid foundation, but through the Master’s
program I hope to develop expertise in international business management.

Thank you very much for considering my application and I am looking forward to hearing from
you.

Istvan Nagy

Contoh Motivation Letter: Master di Bidang Architecture

Dear Sir or Madam,

With this letter I hereby wish to state my interest and apply for Master degree programme in
Architecture. I always had an interest and passion for Architecture, and therefore it is not
surprising that I have finished my Bachelor studies in Architecture in just three years instead of
four.

I have developed this strong passion towards Architecture thanks to my father who is a civil
engineer. Furthermore as I had an interest and talent for arts, my father guided me toward this
field and I started to make models at the age of 9. Now I have an impressive collection of model
houses and buildings. I have continued with this craft even during my bachelor studies and
some of my works were awarded on the national competitions.

The study of fundamental architectural courses, such as architectural structure, mechanics and
materials science, made me to realize that architecture does not focuses only on a visual, but
also emphasizes on the more essential functional and practical aspects of an object. Thanks to
the new skills and knowledge gained on the University I realized that architecture is not only an
art, but technology. Studies have provided me a deeper comprehension of science and its
cultural influences.

Joint influence of my artistic skills and knowledge helped me to visualize the spaces in their
totality, although, at first these spaces were confined to sharp rectangular spaces which were
later extruded to their third dimension with lessons from my Basic and Architectural Design
classes. These spaces were more often clustered into a larger space to give a magnified
appearance. My emphasis remained on the built-form that represented the theme of the subject
and the required spaces were closely knitted into this form. Since then my professional motto is
“unless you put a function to your creation – it’s not architecture, it’s just visual art”.

As one of the main professional achievements I would like to point out my involvement in the
design of sport complex in my municipality. I have been involved in this project in 2011 just after
I have graduated. Thanks to this experience I have gained practical skills in designing and work
scope framing, project planning scheduling, etc. After working on this I realized that in order to
build higher skill and to learn new technologies in this field, higher studies in the field of
Architectural Project Management in reputed International Institution is very essential.

Now I feel that I have had a fair amount of exposure in this field. This exposure has given me a
solid platform through almost one and half year’s of experience in a leading consulting house
where I am working now. I feel that I have not satisfied my urge to learn, especially when there
is so much still to learn. I do not perceive a Graduate Degree as an end. I have strong desire to
push a head, and I plan to invest a lot in my education to build my career. To fully utilize my time
spent in graduate school, I now require a program that can provide me with the best resources,
and educational tools available. Your University can rightly provide me those and I hope that I
will be given an opportunity to not only study at your University, but also to become fully
absorbed in your planning community.

I am applying after carefully reviewing the course curriculum. Since the research focus and
facilities available in your department complement my research interests and requirements, I
believe that being a student in your department would not only empower my career
development, but would give me the framework my utilize my full potentials. Moreover I feel that
as a Masters student at your University, I can benefit from the numerous challenging career
opportunities.

Contoh Motivation Letter: PhD di Bidang ICT
Dear Professor XXX,

My name is [Name Surname], and I’m a master’s student in applied computer science at
[University Name]. I’m writing this letter to express my strong motivation for the PhD position in
ICT and Machine learning at the Carnegie Mellon University.

My particular interests in computer science, statistics and machine learning originates from the
period when I worked as a programmer of mobile applications in India from [YYYY to YYYY].
During my tenure, I developed several iOS applications and put them up on the App Store.
While working on these apps, I noticed that many successful apps, integrated the abilities of
computer vision, such as face recognition, object tracking and edge detection. In the spirit of my
inquisitive personality, I was curios how those apps were made and which algorithms were used
to create such outstanding utilities. In response to this inquisitiveness, I started making an app
for myself which was intended to serve as a scanner for documents and pictures, with special
feature of conversion of photo to text. While building this application, I used computer-vision
libraries without understanding what happens inside. With an intention to familiarize with
libraries and algorithms used, I tried to study computer vision from published papers and online
tutorials, from which I learned two things. Firstly, I could understand some algorithms used in
my iOS apps. Secondly, I found computer vision is a huge area with plenty of research and
applications in face recognition, which is very common in mobile phones, object tracking, traffic
cameras, and in other specialized uses such as in medical imaging. This particular momentum
driven my desire to master computer vision, and develop my career in this area of expertise.

Probably in the same time, I got interested in machine learning, after I did the course
“Techniques of Artificial Intelligence” at University of [Name of the University]. For the benefit of
this particular course, I had to learn many machine-learning algorithms and later on to
implement a small project with integration of face recognition features. The project has required
me to make a neural network in Java using dataset from an online source – CMU2. As the
project has been a success I was incented to learn further and therefore I have took an online
course in “Machine learning” with Coursera. Newly gained knowledge and skills on this course
have sharpen my focus, and I have decided therefore to peruse career in machine
learning. Therefore, my master’s thesis also utilizes different methods of machine learning
including the emerging “convolutional neural network.”

In my resume you can see that I possess vast experience in programing. As an engineering
graduate I have already developed skills in control methods of industrial machinery
systems. However, for career in machine learning I would need to sustain my ICT skills and
therefore I would like to start PhD course in ICT and machine learning. I already have
background in ICT, however, since this is continuously evolving area, I feel there is need for
ongoing upgrade of skills and knowledge,

I firmly believe that a PhD position at your University is an excellent choice for myself, and I
think this is a great chance for me to deepen my knowledge, pursue my passion and give
contributions to the scientific community. With my experience and solid theoretical knowledge, I
believe that this PhD position is ideal for me. Therefore, it will be a great honor if I can work
under the supervision of prominent teachers and scientists, within a well-equipped research
facilities and in a hectic academic atmosphere of your University.
In the enclosure of this motivation letter I am sending all documents required by the Call. If you
need further information or documents feel free to contact.
I appreciate the time and efforts you invested in assessing my application, and I am hoping to
your prompt response.
Kind regards,

Contoh Motivation Letter: PhD di Linguistics/ English

Dear Sir/Madam,

With this letter I hereby would like to express my motivation for a PhD programme in Linguistics
and English Language offered by the University of Edinburgh.

With a major in literary studies as an undergraduate, and Master in Linguistics I would now like
to concentrate on English literature. I am particularly interested in twentieth-century literature,
women’s literature, US poetry, and folklore. My personal literary projects have involved some
combination of these subjects. Moreover, for the oral section of my comprehensive exams, I
specialized in twentieth century novels by and about women. The relationship between “high”
and folk literature became the subject for my honors essay on (Give brief description) and I plan
to work further on this essay by preparing a paper suitable for publication.
In my studies toward a PhD degree, I wish to examine more closely the relationship between
high and folk literature. My junior year and private studies of English language and literature
have caused me to consider the question of where the divisions between folklore, folk literature,
and high literature lie. Should I attend your school, I would like to resume my studies of English
poetry, with specialization in its folk elements.

Writing poetry plays prominent role in my career goals. I have just begun submitting to the
smaller journals with some success and am steadily building a working manuscript for a
collection. The dominant theme of this collection relies on poems that draw from classical,
biblical, and folk traditions, as well as everyday experience, in order to celebrate the process of
giving and taking life, whether literal or figurative. My poetry is based and influenced by my
academic studies, since much of what I read and studied found a place in my creative work as
subject. At the same time, I study the art of literature by taking part in the creative process,
experimenting with the tools used by other authors in the past.

In a few years, I see myself teaching literature and going into editing or publishing poetry. PhD
program offered by your Institution would be valuable to me in several ways. First, your teaching
assistantship program would provide me with the practical teaching experience I am eager to
acquire. Further, earning a Ph.D. in Linguistics & English Language would support my other two
career goals by adding to my skills, both critical and creative, in working with language.
Ultimately, however, I see the Ph.D. as an end in itself, as well as a professional milestone; I
enjoy studying literature for its own sake and would like to continue my studies on the level
demanded by the Ph.D. program.

To my knowledge, this program is very competitive, attracting highly motivated students, but I
am convinced that my good academic record and my motivation make me a strong
recommendation for a place at it. I would be honored if you decide to accept my candidateship
to be Ph. D. student at the University of Edinburgh

Thank you very much for your time and consideration.

Sincerely yours,

Contoh Motivation Letter: PhD di Bidang Global Trade and Development

Dear Madam, Sir,

I am Ileana Mineola, motivated student in MA in International Economics at the University of

Bucharest, expected to graduate at the end of this year. I appreciate this opportunity to
introduce myself at your University and to apply for the programme PhD in Global Trade and
Development at the University of Montpellier. With my educational background and working
experience in the field of international trade, I strongly believe that I am suitable candidate for
the programme.
Since my high school days I have developed strong interests for the issues regarding
international economics, especially international trade and development, as I advocate the
opinion that the export orientated trade is a motor for stronger international development. That
is why I enrolled myself at the University of Bucharest, where I graduated first in my class, with
distinction at the programme BA in Economics and Macroeconomic Policy. At the moment, I am
writing my master thesis at the same University, based on the research that I have conducted
on the role of the international trade in the EU aid assistance policies. Therefore, I would like to
apply for a PhD at the University of Montpellier, and in the same time for scholarship at the
University’s fund. As I do not have sufficient funds for the tuition fees, I believe that my
competences and academic records recommend me for the limited number of placements at the
University.

I personally believe that every person applying for PhD in International Economics should be as
much as specialized in research and practice in that field, as me. In favor of that thesis I should
mention that I have been working within the World Trade Organization, as an Intern in Eurasian
economic area. In 2011-2012, I have been staying in Geneva for over a year, where I gained
precious experience in the field of international trade and relations in one excellent organization.
This experience enabled me to be familiar with the work in international environment and to
abide to the international decision making and policies.

During my studies at the University of Bucharest, I have developed special interest for the
international development, as addition to my aspiration to be international trade expert.
However, I wanted to combine those interests of mine as a Junior Researcher at the
International Trade Institute, where I am currently employed. International Trade Institute is one
of the most reputable institutes in East Europe, among the institutes with trade development as
their main topics of research activity. I was employed on the recommendation of my professor
George Lucas, one year ago, as I have proven my skills in topics like Eurasian trade, EU trade
policies and international development during our common research. As a Junior Research I am
involved in basic research and modeling of intra-industrial trade in the EU, monitoring
international trade developments and analyzing new trade policies in the region of Eurasia. One
of my most favorable activities was my work on the EUR-Asia model, used for forecast of the
future developments in the Eurasia region. I worked on the model for more than one year with
small team of researchers at the Institute and after several tests and practice the model
revealed surprisingly good application for analyzing international trade in general, not just to
focus on the region. As the model got international recognition I was invited to present the
model to the Board of the African Development Bank, where it should be implemented for the
Bank’s analysis.

Working experience received provided me with a deeper realization of importance of being

competent in various spheres of economic research: international trade, econometrics,
development and economic policy. I deeply convinced that all those spheres make an
Economist to be complete expert in this field of research. The understanding of this fact and my
strong aspiration to become highly qualified researcher of international level led me to decision
to apply for the position at your University, as the University of Montpellier has a strong
reputation in that field.

After I read carefully the description of the PhD programme and the course requirements, I
believe that it perfectly matches my research interests and profile. Afterwards I have continued
my research at the University website, where I gained useful information about the University
campus and the student life in Montpellier. I believe that I will be positive addition to your team,
fit well in your organization and be a useful member of the community, as I love to volunteer and
to be active in the field of social causes and campaigns.

As I understand, this programme is very competitive, attracting highly motivated students, but I
am convinced that my good record at the University and during my work as a researcher give
me a strong recommendation for a place at it. I would be honored if you decide to accept my
candidateship to be PhD student at the University of Montpellier 2013/2016.

Thank you very much for your time and consideration.

Sincerely yours,

Ileana Mineola
