I am a third year student in Physics at **** University. I joined the University after completing my high school diploma with honors, specializing in Physics-Mathematics, in 2009 in ...

My choice to pursue my studies in France was dictated by two main reasons. First, I wanted to get a good quality education, something I was afraid I wouldn't get by staying in my country since the conditions of higher education are often difficult there.

The second reason is the following one. The years of higher education are as determining on the personal level as on the academic one; to go abroad provides an invaluable personal enrichment by developing many qualities: a sense of adaptation, integration capability, autonomy, to name a few.
It is also an opportunity for cultural sharing and linguistic enrichment. I have lived that every day since I arrived in France almost three years ago. And today I wish to repeat this experience in the United Kingdom.
I choose to go to an English speaking country for the importance of having good English skills in the professional world. If you want a career in research, as I do, that is a necessity because English is a working language. I want to work as a research and development engineer, in the field of renewable energies: a stay in the United Kingdom will thus enable me to perfect one my future work tools.
My choice of the University of XXX was motivated by his teaching methods as I could apprehend it through the curriculum. In fact, the syllabus of the University of XXX has the same common basis as the YYY University but it is taught differently. In particular, much more autonomy is left to the student with fewer hours of tutorials and more personal work required.

Besides, many electives are offered at the University of XXX. This allows you to customize your courses according to your professional project. I want to apply for a master offered by the YYY University: "Renewable Energies and Effective Management of Electrical Energy". I am particularly interested in solar energy. That is why I have chosen in the XXX syllabus "Semiconductor Quantum Structures" and "Physics of Energy Sources". Such courses are not available at my University. Coming to XXX will thus allow me to have a first approach of these fields before beginning the fifth year courses.

In addition, I talked about the student life with a friend currently in Erasmus exchange at the University of XXX. I also sought information on the Internet; my interest in your University was reinforced.

Thank you very much for considering my application.

Yours sincerely
