Motivation letter for IBCoM Magazine | Page 12

Winter 2014 With all the information I have gained through blogging, I now know that I want to work in this field in the future. Whether it would be to work for a PR/communication agency, for an international company or as a (social)media consultant. Any job in this field seems like a great challenge! The only thing left to do was to find a bachelor that was exciting and suited me well. ! That is where IBCoM comes in. When I went to the Erasmus open day for the first time I had selected three bachelor programmes I thought I would like. I did not yet know what the bachelor IBCoM involved, but as soon as the professor started talking I was convinced. After the open day I came back as a student for a day and this convinced me even more, that this is exactly the challenge I am looking for! These are the four reasons why I am convinced that I should be studying communication and media at the Erasmus university. 4 Reasons why IBCoM is awesome! #1 The focus on society makes IBCoM more practical ! I prefer IBCOM over other communication bachelor programmes because I think that IBCoM strikes the right balance, because it focusses on theory and research, as well as on professional practice. The focus on the development of academic skills will not only increase my comprehensive knowledge but will also give me the tools necessary for my further career. Whereas the professional practice will prepare me for the actual work I will be doing in this demanding and fastchanging environment I will be working in. In this way Erasmus University allows me to develop my talents in an optimal way, which I will need in order to be successful in the future. #2 The focus on the media ! I think IBCoM is an exciting programme which would challenge me to show all of my capabilities. The broad perspective of this bachelor is the ideal way to combine the disciplines I would like to work with later on. The focus on the media makes IBCoM very modern as communication and media have become a vital part of our society. 12
