Letter of motivation

Dear Sir/Madam,

Possessing considerable theoretical background in Corporate Finance and almost 4 years of work experience, I am more than interested in expanding my academic and professional horizons by applying for the Master of Science in Economics degree at University of Sapienza for the 2021 autumn intake. I see this degree as an opportunity to bridge my current portfolio of skills and knowledge with my ambitious future career plans.

Already in my school I had a childish dream to be a manager. Eventually, an abstract vision started taking shape. Honourable mention in International Mathematical Olympiads raised confidence in my analytical skills and led to decision to pursue a degree in economics. During the demanding studies at Tashkent Institute of Finance I saw my interest and energy strongly shifting towards the subjects having financial aspects in them. I started applying just acquired theoretical knowledge in real life situations – trading stocks, bonds, funds and currencies – which ultimately resulted in bachelor course work on the topic “Capital structure and the problems of optimizing the capital structure of the company”.

As for the “manager” side of the dream, besides my academic program I have also served as a catalyst for business development initiatives and as a coordinator of goal-driven teams. For example, I have provided outstanding leadership and teamwork performance for Boss Media Ltd, resulting in a fivefold increase in sales during 3.5 years; The “Guide to Life in Tashkent Institute of Finance” proved to be a 25 page thick example of my coordination and skills and the initiative is still continued by new generations at the university.

Combination of strong financial knowledge and business leadership skills can lead to extraordinary results, especially in today’s markets of the , where corporate finance is still in an early stage and opportunities for the qualified managers are vast. I feel like having acquired significant business leadership skills, however studies in University of Sapienza would provide me with the lacking knowledge in finance and help me to pursue my career aims in corporate finance, where my education, my previous experience and most importantly my personal interests will combine.

I believe that Master’s in Economics at University of Sapienza is a unique opportunity for me to gain international experience, exchange knowledge and ideas with students from all over the world, and the opportunity to continue my scientific work in the field of economical science. As a result of participation in this program, I am confident that I will be able to increase my leadership potential, improve my scientific work and release several research papers. Moreover, in the learning process, I will be able to share my knowledge and experience with other students and enrich their knowledge base and outlook. As nothing comes for free, in return for the perfect education which I will get in University of Sapienza. I can assure to provide you with the top academic performance, remarkable analytical talents, natural interpersonal and communication abilities and irrepressible energy in everything I do.

Thank you in advance for considering my application,


Yours sincerely,

Nosirov Sukhrobjon
