Dear Sir or Madame,

In......, I completed the 1st State Examination in Law granted by the.......University in Germany. I started conducting my studies after I passed my Diploma from secondary school qualifying for university matriculation at the ........Gymnasium in......

During my time at university, I studied Criminal Law, Civil Law and Public Law.

I have also taken extra courses such as History of Law and Criminology. I am confident that these will contribute to my future career goals. I also made broad experiences in practical juridical work during traineeships at the County Court of ......, a government agency and a Lawyers office.

Over the past year, I worked as an Assistant at the the law firm ....... The office is specialized in supporting victims of criminal offence. While assisting Dr. ...... in process preparation I gained additional knowledge in Criminal Law and Civil Law.

As you can see from my CV I have also experiences in youth conduction and event management due to my voluntary work for the ...... church municipality in...... During my studies in ...... I gained further skills in using a number of computer software and programs, including Excel, Word and Access database.

I would like to improve my knowledge and experience in the field of Criminal Law, Criminology and Human Rights Law due to the LL.M at your University and simultaneously get an insight into the history of your country, the people and culture, and if possible take an extra course in ....... The combination of the possibility to get further professional knowledge and to learn much about another country and its languages are the holdings for my decision to strive for this postgraduate Qualification at your University. Also in view of my future goals which are related to work for international organisations and companies, a stay abroad in ....... will lead to useful experiences. As you can see I am not only interested in juridical work. In Germany I partially worked as an actor at several theatres, amongst other the Schauspielhaus Frankfurt a.M. (National Theatre). If possible I would be very glad to continue this artistic work during my stay with other interested students.
