University Motivation 2

• I want to study at university because it gives me, unlike school, the chance to get professional education in subjects which I chose to learn about myself.

• The life as a student is also something i want to experience, and of course, the job opportunities in my field of interest for university students are more plenty than for people who did not study at a university.

• I hope, that I can learn more about topics which interest me a lot, such as the process of european integration and the development of the European Union, when I study about these subjects, among others, at the University.

• Also I am interested in the history of Europe, and I hope that my hopes of a combined study of history and international relations and other important social sciences can be fulfilled by absolving this study.

• All together, I expect an interesting study, with many different approaches to discover as many as possible aspects of Europe, while getting to know other people and enjoying the life as a student as well.

• The european financial crisis, and the developments, which follow because of it. 2.

• The rise of eurosceptic parties in many european countries. 3.

• The liberalisation and secularization of european societies and its impact on daily life in Europe. 4.

• The role of culture and identity of the european peoples in the time of globalization. 5.

• How do you think European Studies can help understanding these issues (PS Please indicate an issue relevant to European Studies) [Use at least 200 words / at most 300 words]?* When I have questions and issues I am interested in, I am always looking for as much as possible options to increase my knowledge about it, and form my own opinion.

• Often however, the only source of knowledge which is always available is the internet.

• It is not often the case, that I can see anything related to the given issues in Television, and the topics are to contemporary to be written about in books a lot.

• Besides Newspapers and the Internet, which both give me information, there is nothing I can do to form my opinion and learn more about those topics.

• At University, I imagine that I would have the chance to be educated by professors, who have dedicated years to issues like that, and to discuss with people that are interested in those or similar topics as well.

• So in a study of European studies, I see the only way, to get a wide range of information, and personally work with people to learn and exchange opinion, and learn in a far more lasting and intense way than I ever could through the internet or books alone.

• Concluded, I think that a study is of big importance to me, to answer my questions and concentrate on my interests for a long time.
