Letter of Motivation

The letter of motivation/intent/purpose must be written in English and contain a maximum of 500 words. The letter is intended to describe the fit between the performance and skills of the prospective MAPES student and the goals of the programme. In other words, you must broadly answer two questions:

• How do my qualifications, both academic and outside the academia (civil society involvement, professional activities), make me a good candidate for the Master of Arts Programme in European Studies?

and

• How do MAPES structure and goals help me further my personal career goals?

The letter should also make a case for your communication skills. The text should be written in a grammatically correct, well-structured fashion and should showcase your abilities with relevant examples.
