A motivation letter explains why you want a particular opportunity and how you plan to use it. Start with the programme’s objectives and select experience that gives the reader a reason to believe your interest is specific.
Use three paragraphs with different jobs
Open with the opportunity and what you hope to learn. In the middle, describe a relevant activity and what it taught you. Close with how you would apply the experience afterward. Use the requested word limit and address any prompts in the application.
Sample for an education programme
“I am applying for the education programme because I want to improve how I use assessment evidence to support learners. During teaching practice, I reviewed weekly writing exercises and used recurring errors to plan short revision tasks. I would use the programme to develop clearer feedback tools and test them in a supervised classroom.”
Check that the letter sounds like you
Replace broad claims such as “I have always been passionate” with one concrete example. Check the programme name, dates and selection criteria. Read the letter aloud and ask whether each paragraph tells the reader something different.
