i want to be a competent person of society and i want to fight against terrorism through my knowledge. i did my BA degree from peshawar university in LAW and POLITICAL SCIENCE. I shall be ver thankfull to you if you grant me this scholarship. thanks
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to you to apply for the Master’s Degree in social science in which I am particularly interested.
I would like to gain a deeper theoretical knowledge in management and practical skills to evaluate public policy in a multicultural context. I believe a university with a high reputation like Bocconi is the best place to achieve my career objectives.
I hold a 4 year bachelor’s degree in Education from the University of Bahir Dar and I am going to complete in July 2001 a 3 year specialization in history at the University of Bahir Dar Ethiopia. I am confident that the linguistic and educational profile that I acquired as well as a broad literary and artistic culture combined with my knowledge in communication and marketing will be an important asset for my realization in the field of social science . To further prepare myself for the program I completed a 2 month internship at high school Bahir Dar district, department of Education. Thus I gained a valuable practical experience in public policy and I got prepared to assume later a leadership position in public schools or play a district – wide administrative role. This strengthened my leadership skills and motivated me to serve as a catalyst for social and educational changes.
I would finally like to add some activities which have developed in me a permanent taste of competitiveness and also emphasized my organization skills. For 7 years, I participate in a group for folkloric and modern dances. I have recently become responsible of the organization of the dance activities and the national contests.
Of an exceptional motivation, I strongly imply myself in my academic and professional activities to carry out my objectives. My national experiences attest of my capacity of integration and adaptation. I had the pleasure to meet varied cultures and to affirm my intrapersonal ease. Opened to others, speaking one foreign languages in addition to my Amharic mother tongue (, English,I) I have a very strong desire to pursue a career in government institutions, thus allowing my blooming on the personal level as well as professional.
The ambitions which I have just exposed to you wouldn’t be realized without a solid theoretical background and a strong real world experience specialized in the management of different public institutions. I am deeply convinced that the MPM that Bocconi University offers is the best way of concretizing this future because of its international orientation. A completion of this Master’s Degree in your school will be an excellent springboard for my future career and will provide me the knowledge, confidence, and contacts to realize my dreams. Furthermore, the courses this program combines match perfectly my professional projects and academic expectations.
Thank you very much for considering my request. I look forward to your positive response.
Sincerely yours,
Thank you all
