The letter of motivation

The letter of motivation (in English) will have between 750 and 1000 words and will follow the following structure:
1) Introduction - who are you and why are you interested in enrolling in the master's program?
2) Where did you find out about the educational offer of the Faculty of Communication and Public Relations?
3) In what way will this program be useful for your career?
4) Choose a topic that you consider relevant, within the chosen field of study (MA in Digital Communication and Innovation - in English).
5) Connect your interest in the MA program to your chosen topic and to the academic references that you consider relevant. For example, you can choose a problem that you have experienced in your activity as an intern, as a student, or as an employee. When detailing your interest in the given topic, you are encouraged to refer to the literature that discusses the relevance and the significance of the topic.

*Note: the references can be accessed online, using the Google Scholar database (https://scholar.google.ro/), where you can search for academic resources by using keywords. The use of references illustrating your interest in the field is mandatory.
We encourage honest expression of opinion and critical reflection on the issues approached in the letter of motivation, as well as a discussion of personal and professional experiences.
