Any extra page will not be considered in the evaluation.  \n􀁸 Your cover letter must be accompanied by a description of how you cover the admission requirements (see template) .  \n􀁸 Formulate your thoughts clearly. Avoid a too formal and strict style; your application must seem serious, but it should also make interesting reading and have personality to stand out among all the other applications.  \n􀁸 Have someone else read your cover letter. Do other people understand what you are trying to convey? Do they notice the aspects that you want to emphasise? Are they left with the impression that you have made a qualified and well-considered choice of programme and that you are motivated to start your studies and make a serious effort? Does your cover letter signal earnest commitment to, interest in and understanding of what you are signing up for?  \n􀁸 If you are in doubt of what to leave out and what to keep, remember that the key word is „relevance‟. Only include information about yourself that is relevant to your application. Onlyinclude information about jobs and other activities if it is relevant to the overall impression.  \nIn the following pages, we discuss examples of things that you may address in your cover letter.  \nWhy did you choose this particular programme at the IT University?  \nIt is in the interest of the IT University to admit students who have a good understanding of the programme that they have applied for. That will minimise the risk of students dropping out because the programme does not live up to their expectations or because they are in fact not motivated to study at the IT University.  \nAs a preparation, it is therefore a good idea for you to familiarise yourself with the field, organisation and working method of the programme. You can do that by:  \n􀁸 Reading about the programme's main objectives and the competence profiles that it builds;  \n􀁸 Reading about the programme's compulsory modules and specialisations;  \n􀁸 Reading the individual course descriptions, which contain information on the composition of theory, methods and practical elements, as well as on intended programme structure and working method;  \n􀁸 Visiting the IT University, talking with the Student Counsellors and participating in open house events where you can meet students. You can ask for permission to observe a class in a specific course, if you like;  \n􀁸 Going over the latest graduation survey to get an idea of future job opportunities if you want amore specific knowledge of that aspect.  \nConsider specifically why this programme is appealing to you at both an academic and a personal level, as well as in respect of where you want to go in your life. Also, if relevant, tell us where you first came across the programme, why it caught your attention and made you consider applying to it:  \n􀁸 What caught your eye?  \n􀁸 What keywords do you note when reading about the programme, and why?  \n􀁸 What inspires you and whets your curiosity?  \n􀁸 Why and how?  \n􀁸 What seems particularly challenging or relevant to you?  \n􀁸 Are there specific aspects of the programme that you already know that you would like to immerse yourself in and explore in detail?  \nHow is the programme connected to your educational background?  \nWhen writing your cover letter, it is important that you formulate why the programme is relevant to you considering your specific educational background. It is not important what bachelor‟s degree you hold, but that you tell us how your degree correlates with and is supplemented by the programme applied for.
