ERASMUS MUNDUS MOTIVATION LETTER The motivation letter/Statement of Purpose is unique to every Erasmus Mundus master’s program. Unique in the sense that some Erasmus programs will give specific information/questions they want a prospective applicant to answer in the letter. You should note that there is no defined or regulated way to write a motivation letter. However, irrespective of the format you use to write your letter it should answer the following questions. 1.  What are your interests/passions/motivations: What sparked your desire for graduate school? i.e., why did you decide to further your education? The reasons you state should be short and precise. Your motivation for further studies can come from different experiences and scenarios. For example, it can be a result of your experience growing up such as bad roads, poor food hygiene, poor health systems, poor security measures, governance and administration, poor engineering design and implementation, etc. also, it can be as a result of the experience you had during your bachelor program, maybe the courses you took during your undergraduate and you wish to develop mastery in that aspect of your program. 2.  The summary of your undergraduate program and any experience you acquired during and after your program: Here, talk about your undergraduate program/project, what you did, how you did it, and the result of your work. If you used any instrument such as spectroscopic instruments for those in Chemistry or designed a reactor for engineering folks or develop a software application for Tech folks etc. talk about it because it adds to your skill set and proficiency in handling some of these instruments. If you publish any paper or write any article that is related to your desired program, mention it briefly. If you did Industrial training and the activities you carried out somehow align with your chosen Erasmus program, state it briefly.  Also, you can mention some courses you undertook during your undergrad that are related to the program you’re applying to. 3.  Why is the program a good fit and why are you a good fit/Career Goal: In this place, be specific about what makes this Erasmus program that you’re applying to your ideal choice. To answer this question, you must do research about the program by looking at its website. Again, specificity matters, you may talk about how the program is a stepping stone to achieving your career goal after the program. Why are you a good fit? sell yourself to them, and talk about your accomplishments, dedication, hard work, commitment, adaptability, etc. Again, ensure to do not repeat what you have mentioned on your CV.
