In addition to your application and any documentation supporting relevant activities, you must submit a motivated application. It is important that your motivated application is prepared like a job application for the relevant bachelor study programme. It should not be a neutral list with no life and career highlights.

Your motivated application must be based on the activities completed following your qualifying examination. A minimum of one activity must be included, and remember that all education activities should be documented. It is important that you state all the relevant activities you base your motivated application on in your online application.

Attaching a curriculum vitae (CV) to your application is a good idea; the application should, however, be brief and accurate (1-2 pages). Remember to include name and date of birth.

It may prove useful for a good motivated application to contain:

• An account of your qualifications of relevance to the desired programme. It is important that you understand what the programme is about and can explain how and why your qualifications, abilities and skills are important and relevant to precisely this programme. Thus, you must be able to draw on your qualifications and experience relating to the desired programme.
• Explain your motivation for wanting to study the relevant programme, giving arguments for why you consider yourself qualified for admission to RUC and the relevant Bachelor Study Programme. In this part of the motivated application, you may demonstrate, for example, that you have insight into the desired programme.
• You should also consider the fact that a motivated application is a personal reflection of experience and events that are important and relevant to the programme in question. A reflection of the supplementary academic and/or general activity with emphasis on the elements that as an applicant you find the most relevant for your admission.
• Consider what you want to use the programme for
• Any documentation showing that you make targeted and continuous efforts to develop and improve your qualifications in relation to the desired programme.
  
  

Apart from including these essential elements, there is no set formula for what is a good motivated application. It all depends on who you are, what your background is, what motivates you and how all this is combined. The questions to consider are the following:

• Why do I find precisely this bachelor study programme interesting?
• What have I done so far that qualifies me for admission to precisely this programme?
• What subjects would I like to study at the bachelor study programme and which of my qualifications are relevant?
  
  

The applicant is assessed on the basis of activities performed within a period of 12 months. All education activities should be documented. All the activities you include in your motivated application must be stated in the application form. You will, however, only be assessed on the basis of activities performed within a total period of 12 months, which will be selected by the persons responsible for the assessment at the relevant bachelor study programme on the basis of the activities and periods indicated.
