Erasmus University College motivation letter
EUC asks why its Liberal Arts and Sciences degree fits the applicant. Its template separates evidence of readiness from motivation for the programme and optional extra context.
Writing format
English motivation letter, maximum 600 words, using EUC's template
What to prepare
- 1Explain why you would succeed in a Liberal Arts and Sciences degree using academic and non-academic examples.
- 2Describe why EUC's interdisciplinary programme suits the questions you want to study.
- 3Use the optional additional-information field only for context the admissions officers need.
How to approach the writing
- Connect interests across subjects with a specific example rather than saying only that you like many fields.
- Use EUC's required template and keep the main letter within its stated 600-word maximum.
Before you submit
EUC lists January 15 as its regular deadline and May 1 as its final deadline. Download the live template, complete Studielink and the EUR admissions portal, and prepare to discuss the letter in a possible interview.
