Motivation Letter for Master's Program

Hi,

Can you check my motivation letter? I am mostly afraid of some gramatical mistakes since it is not my mother language but all comments will be appreaciated.

Dear Sir or Madam,

My name is Rustam Atakishiyev, I working as a developer of mobile applications and web
applications in the Powersoft company.I hold my Bachelor diploma from Baku State
University, one of the best universities in Azerbaijan and I want to continue my education in
Sapienza one of the best European universities.I’ve chosen Applied Mathematics and Computer
Science specialization, as it conformed to my interests in programming and computer intelligence most of all. My choice of specialization was greatly influenced by my father’s profession (he’s a mechanical engineer).

Sapienza provide European education and are focused on practical side of things. It is also
known world-wide for its international education. And this allows to study in an international
environment, to meet people from around the world, who came to study just like you and to
exchange experience and ideas with these people, to learn and understand from inside
differences, weaknesses and keys of success of IT companies world-wide, to get knowledge,
skills and education, which is actually competitive in conditions of globalization.

I strongly believe that enrollment to MSc Computer Science program in University of Sapienza is
a right step in reaching my goal of becoming a good IT specialist. University of Sapienza is
widely-known for its high level of technical education and leading positions among Italian
universities and that is why I have chosen this university.
Computer science is not just my future profession, it is also my main hobby and I see no
profession for me, other than one related to Computer Sciences. This also makes me a good
candidate for enrollment as studying computer science and related sciences is an integral part of my hobby.

I find scientific and research work very interesting and attractive. I find mathematics interesting
and beautiful in a way. And dedicate a lot of time to self-education mainly in mathematics and
computer science. I am thinking about connecting my future life to science one way or another.
And I hope to combine scientific work with my main job or to make scientific work my main job.

Azerbaijan may seem to a mature country, but I believe that it still has a lot to change in order to
become one. My country’s main source of income is trade of natural resources like oil and gaz.
And Hi-Tech, scientific research, educational and small business spheres remain undeveloped. I
am confident that if I get a chance to earn master degree in your University, then I will be able to
contribute a lot to my country’s development of at least some listed spheres.

I also believe that I can make a significant contribution to this program, as I have a good
imagination and largely understanding the philosophy of artificial intelligence.

Thank you very much for considering my application. I look forward to your positive response.

Yours sincerely,

Rustam Atakishiyev.
