I have to write a motivation letter to my erasmus university. It's my first attempt. Dear Sir or Madam, My name is Diego Valle and I am currently in my last year of Industrial Engineering degree at the Faculty of Engineering of Bilbao, in the field of Manufacturing. I applied for the Erasmus program and I got a place in Kaiserslautern for the next academic year. First I think that developing the Master Thesis at a foreign country is an excellent opportunity to complete the studies and the knowledge gained in my university. From the beginning I was sure I wanted to go to Germany. It's the perfect place to acquire experience with the imminent entry into the labour market. I chose the Technische Universität Kaiserslautern as my first option because, looking for information through your web site and asking known people who is already there, it has given me a really good impression. It is a very important university referring to engineering due to the large variety of different courses that it offers. I am very interested in the field of manufacturing, in any of its branches, and mechanics, especially in automotive industry so I’d like to develop my Master Thesis about one of those. Besides it could be a very good opportunity to learn different ways to work, which will be good for my personal experience. Furthermore I’ve found Kaiserslautern as a nice city to spend my Erasmus program. It is very well located and it has good communications, and it seems that the university environment is ideal for students to actively speak German and meet new people. This experience could be a great chance for me to improve a lot with German language. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you required further information about myself. Thank you for your consideration.
