Admission Letter Master of Business Administration

Dear Sir/Ma’am,

I am highly interested in pursuing the Master of Business Administration course offered by your esteemed institution and, therefore, writing to secure enrollment for it. Earning this degree from Maastricht University, counted among the most esteemed, prominent, and elitist institutions worldwide, will be able to effectively help me achieve knowledge enrichment and progress on the career front, thus, developing requisite skills among other people and reinforcing my own leadership principles. In my opinion, this program can propel me towards accomplishing my management and business goals. I have thoroughly reviewed this course’s outline and discovered a sound correspondence between the content and my personal technology and business interests.

I graduated with a Bachelor’s of Science degree in the area of industrial management in the year 2011. Industrial engineering’s inclusive nature has ensured I was exposed to a vast range of disciplines right from technology to business. The study of specialized courses has helped me cultivate key capabilities including systematic study, data assessment and analytical thinking. Most importantly, I have achieved a certain degree of understanding of the business management arena. Besides the institution’s atmosphere that is conducive to learning, the thing I enjoyed most was active pluralism and academic leeway. I received permission to attend a few management courses that served to expand my knowledge and views with regard to management approach and managerial accounting related processes. Furthermore, I was fortunate to have the opportunity to attend several discourses, debates and other academic activities that enhanced the economics and business spheres’ appeal for me.

I desire to alter my career pathway and thus wish to enroll in this program. My life’s goal is helping others, I believe true success lies herein. I aim to study and become helpful, honing skills required by other people. Knowledge of the business administration/management spheres will promote this goal of mine. The meta-skills of administration and management are, after all, indispensable and acquiring them will accord me options and, in turn, opportunities, something I cannot let pass. To me, the ideal plan helps alter my plans. An International degree in business administration will thus be ideal for a career shift, and this has driven me toward pursuing one.

Maastricht School of Management’s (MSM’s) MBA program essentially represents an entrepreneurial management and corporate leadership experience within a rapidly-evolving, international, multicultural business setting. An MBA degree doesn’t entail only theory; rather, it will aid me in cultivating ‘complex’ or ‘soft’ skills. All through the course of this program, I am positive I will face the intriguing and stimulating challenge of developing intercultural communication, critical thinking, problem resolution, collaboration and leadership, creativity, resilience, time management and self-awareness skills. Additionally, this degree will facilitate successful management via the right information, capabilities and instruments as well as the achievement of a more profound grasp of managing in a ‘responsible’ way. MSM advocates high business ethics standards, firmly promoting sustainability and corporate social responsibility.

MSM MBA enjoys international accreditation, assuring students of high international standards. IACBE, ACBSP and AMBA are three accreditation organizations accrediting the university’s MBA programs worldwide, a privilege enjoyed by only some exclusive business schools. CEO magazine’s global MBA ranking for this year has placed the university’s MBA program at European Tier 1. Further, the Best Masters ranking for 2017 by Eduniversal places the university at second position in Netherlands, and at the 11th position across the European continent, drawing on the institution’s business and management education experience of sixty-five years.

While MBA is normally a generalist course, MSM will allow me a choice out of multiple specializations, helping me comprehensively align the degree with professional goals or embark on a challenging experience into (personally) novel, uncharted territory. I have always done well at academics, identifying the important things and concentrating on them. I adopt a systematic approach towards whatever I do, seeking means of simplifying and posing questions often. I believe my strength lies in being efficient as well as effective. This may be supplemented by my limitless zest to learn. The acquisition of novel, useful skills is my driver. I maintain active classroom participation and do not shy away from sharing my views with others. However, I am a rather result-oriented person, and tend to occasionally hasten across the careful process of developing consensus when it comes to decisions. Further, I have a very long attention span and am able to rigorously concentrate on any given undertaking for lengthy durations. These are assets not only at my personal disposal but at the disposal of others as well. I am comfortable with leading professional and social situations. Leading comes naturally to me, and I have prior experience in the roles of group instructor and football coach to my credit. I possess a deep desire for everybody to like me and I am sensitive to acceptance on the part of my peer group. I experience discouragement and hurt when conflicting with other people or seeing my plans and approaches challenged by them; I take long to recover from frustration in such cases and proceed forward.
