Hello everyone!!!
Soon I will need to send my applications and most of the programmes have as a requirement a motivation letter or statement of purpose. Could you give some tips?

Sure, no problem. However, it might be helpful if you provide some background information about yourself (programs you are applying to, where you are from, where you completed your law degree, possible limitations or weaknesses etc.)

Thank you so much Wade, this give me light hehehe because I don't have any idea about what should I put in there.

No problem,

Motivation letters or statements of purpose are quite individual in nature. You usually want to state your goals and how that particular program will help you achieve such goals. For example, stress the uniqueness of the program or the opportunity to study under a particular professor who researches a specific topic you are interested in etc.

Talk about your strengths and don't be afraid to address your weaknesses without dwelling on them. You also want to give the impression that the program you are applying to, is your first choice. You want to make them want you. You have to stand out.

I would need some more information about you in order to give you more specific advice.

Hello - i just wondering maybe smeone has an example of motivation letter . It will help a lot. Thank you very much beforehand.

Review the following URLs

Also research as much as you can about the university and the program you are applying for, as well as the reviews of others, this should help you identify more with the university and the program, which will then be reflected in your letter

get at least 2-3 persons to review and edit your letter
