Example of motivation letter, URL: http://wp.me/p61TQ-h Motivation and Commitment of Study Continuation Dear Sir or Madam, With this letter I would like to explain my motivation to continue my study for a higher degree. I finished my undergraduate study in Physics Department (Reactor Physics Research Division), Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB) very successfully in 2005 for a total of four years. I recognized nuclear science when I took Nuclear Physics class, however I find it out in more detail after attending Reactor Physics class. I chose to study further by attempting it as a thesis topic of my undergraduate final project. My Undergraduate Final Project entitled "Neutronic, Thermal Hydraulic, and Thermodynamic Analysis in Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) Design" was granted by grade A, whereupon my overall performance was above average hitherto. I was furthermore granted with a full scholarship for Master Degree Program from ITB. In my graduate courses I focused on development of simulation code for reactor analysis. My master thesis entitled “Development of Integrated Computer Code for Preliminary Design Study of PWR Nuclear Power Plant” was again granted by grade A. I finished my master program in February 2007 as the best master program graduate for March 2007 graduation at Physics Department ITB, for a total of three semesters. I have a very good knowledge in reactor physics and computation, so that I was promoted as a lecture assistant at nuclear laboratory to guide students in doing practical study related to reactor physics classes, such as Nuclear Instrumentation class (assisting students to use Single and Multi Channel Analyzers/SCA/MCA) and Reactor Physics class (assisting students to use Standard Reactor Analysis Code/SRAC). Other activities that I followed to improve my nuclear knowledge were attending as presenter as well as being a member of organizing committee of several international seminars hosted by ITB, such as Annual Physics Symposium 2004 (APS 2004), Asian Physics Symposium 2007 (APS 2007), International Conference on Advances in Nuclear Science and Engineering 2007 (ICANSE 2007), etc. Utilization of nuclear energy, which is one of the most important knowledge of mankind, is waiting to be explored furthermore by formal or informal ways that are related and support each other. I believe that nuclear is one of the most promising future source of energy, so that I am very interested in joining the international community of world class nuclear scientists and engineers, to develop nuclear energy systems as backbone for sustainable development of the world. Past my degree I am planning a career in nuclear industry or in university. Your university is a worldwide known and reputable, international orientated university and it would be an ideal place for my doctoral study. The consequent demand to educate for a successful career accommodates me very much. The program offered fit very well with my hitherto existing studies, my educational background, my interests and my abilities. Studies at your university would furthermore, due to the internationality of the school, provide an insight into nationalities and cultures throughout the world. This would open up new and diverse perspectives and is would broaden my horizon with supposedly grandiose experiences. I hope with this letter I revealed my impetus and my desire to continue my study in an amazing country at a unique university. I feel confident that my qualifications are more than sufficient and that I am able to meet the postulated and the forthcoming demands. I enclose a curriculum vitae, please contact me if you require any further details or documents. I hope to hear from you in the near future. Best Regards, Syeilendra Pramuditya
