Letter of motivation

A letter of motivation or a statement of purpose is sometimes requested as part of an exchange application. Below you find some advice on how to write one.

  • Present yourself, write something about why you chose your degree and what your future plans are.

  • Elaborate on why you would like to study at the host university. Are you familiar with any of their faculty members and what would you like to get out of your exchange?

  • Do you have any other reasons for choosing this university?

  • Try to limit the letter to one page.

  • Spell check!
