Hallo,
ich werde mich bei meiner Heimatuniversität um einen Austauschplatz mit einer unserer Amerikanischen Partneruniversitäten bewerben und muss dazu einen Cover Letter verfassen. Er sollte grob erklären warum ich gerne ins Ausland möchte, warum USA und warum ich qualifiziert bin etc. Es wäre prima, wenn mir ein Native oder ein Fast-Native meinen Letter korrekturlesen könnte und evt. Fehler verbessern. Vielleicht hat ja jemand auch noch Verbesserungsvorschläge den Inhalt betreffend.
Hier der Letter:
Dear Prof. …,
I am writing to apply for the place as exchange student at J. Mack Robinson College of Business at Georgia State University, USA. The extensive range of program options at Robinson College, its good reputation and close relation to Atlanta’s international companies, the diverse and international student body and its welcoming internet presence for exchange students, made me chose this college as my 1st preference for my semesters abroad.
I am currently studying “International Economic Law” in my 3rd semester at the …University in … This field of study qualifies me not only in the field of economics, but also in legal requirements which are one of the most important factors affecting business today. I believe that this credential combined with my great interest in improving my cross-cultural ethics make me a strong candidate for the place you are offering.
I consider this year abroad as a possibility to broaden my education and life experience in an international setting as well as to enhance my long-term career prospects. It is also a wonderful opportunity not only to improve my language skills but to submerge in another culture and to share its world, its tradition, and its ideas. For those reasons, the USA, as one of the leading nations with regard to economics and as the country with the world’s largest international student population, is most suitable for this purpose. My keen interest in spending an academic year in a university in the USA was further strengthened by the overall positive experience I made while spending one week in an American High School in Warsaw in 2004. Furthermore, I have a strong intellectual curiosity to make my own experiences regarding the American way of life. I am especially interested in the learning conditions at American Universities, which provide students a perfect study environment, due to close collaboration with the teaching professors and small class sizes.
J. Mack Robinson College of Business offers me exactly what I expect from my prospective hosting university: well-trained faculty staff, an extensive range of contemporary courses while maintaining small class sizes, close partnership to the located multinational companies and an international student body. The courses “??”, “??” and “??” offered by the University’s College of Business have particularly awaken my interest.
I am aware that one of the goals of studying abroad is to interact with local and international students. I would be happy to take an active part in the University’s community, enrich the international student body and do my share in improving the German-American relations.
I would welcome the opportunity to further talk to you about my application. Thank you for your time and consideration, I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely,
ich freue mich auf eure Antworten! Danke!!
