申请德国留学的同学，是需要准备动机信的书写，想必这是困扰大多数学生的问题。接下来出国留学网小编为大家简单的介绍德国留学动机信书写指南。
首先来看看动机信的书写内容。
一、个人信息
包括姓名，出生日期，性别，地址，联系电话和电子邮箱等。
1）西方人经常混淆姓与名，导致录取后发的I20表格上姓名颠倒。然后还得联系学校修改后再邮递过来，很麻烦。所以建议在动机信或者填各种申请表格中采用姓的汉语拼音都大写，名的汉语拼音仅首字母大写，姓与名的先后次序倒不重要。当然，还可以把自己的姓名及性别作为动机信的标题如ZHANG。
2）在德国，出生日期的格式是月日年。如1987年5月28日出生，那么应填05/28/1987.
3）地址一定填准确，否则可能延误收到录取包裹。如果家庭住址不方便收包裹，可以在动机信里分开写上邮寄地址和家庭地址，这样学校一般会把包裹寄至邮寄地址。如果你住的是小巷小街，嘉华德国留学专家建议不要翻译地址，直接使用拼音。
4）联系电话的话应该在电话钱加区号和国家好，用短横线隔开，城市区号前不加“0”，如北京座机格式是0086-10-67087066，而手机是0086-13716850714.
5）电子邮箱非常重要，一定留一个有效的，因为申请过程中邮件会成为你和学校间的主要沟通
6）所获荣誉，学术的和社会活动方面的荣誉都要写上去。包括获奖名称，获奖时间，发奖单位，奖励原因，可以简要说明获奖比例。如果中学时有与申请专业相关性强的突出奖项，应该也写进去。或者所获奖项总数量不多时，中学时有的特殊的奖项也可以添上去。
二、个人发表著作
包括题目，作者，时间，杂志（包括页码）（中英文，以原发表为准）。
三、个人技能
最好按照与申请专业相关程度决定先后，联系越紧或越重要的技能一般放最前面。
四、其他
包括标准化考试成绩，计算机水平，主要的实验技能，兴趣爱好等。如果留学语言分数不错的话，应重点强调，分列各单项成绩。兴趣爱好中如果有极限运动，登山赛车等体现冒险和创新精神的，可以重点介绍。
接着来看看它的写作结构。
引入：
少说诸如“ hiermit bewerbe ich mich...”这样的废话。比较好的做法是列举最重要的论据，以支持自己所说的内容。例如：“我在企业管理学专业(BWL)以优异的成绩毕业，学士论文也是和电子市场相关，这些使得我想要申请网络营销专业硕士，以作为目前所学专业的自然延续。”
履历：
在此之前在相关方面做了些什么?申请大学时起关键作用的就是目前的学业成绩，或者高中毕业成绩。别忘记在动机信中提下学士论文。同样还可以提及的有：参加过的社会活动、兼职以及实习。需要注意的是：不要在动机信里一一列举(这些经历)，写相关的即可。比如，在咖啡馆的工作和硕士学业没啥联系，相应的实习才更重要嘛。例如：“我在厄立特里亚(非洲东部国家)的德国复兴信贷银行实习，让我深刻认识了(经济)外援。这段经历也让“我想在硕士学业中完全致力于发展经济学(研究)的愿望”变得更强烈。”
未来：
同样，一封好的动机信也包含之后要做什么，以及硕士学位会如何为其助力也要写上，这是常被忽略的部分。可以这样写：“我的职业规划——在实习经历中也不断明晰——成为航空产业的佼佼者。为达成这个目标，我需要一个尽可能好的教育。而这部分，我觉得会从贵校的硕士学习中获得。”
所申请的学业：
在动机信中应表现出自己对该学士专业或硕士专业是深入研究过的，而不是只是说“觉得这个专业很棒啊”这种，这时候更应该说的是“为什么会觉得这个专业棒”。
结尾：
硕士申请动机信的结尾部分一般为总结申请以及表达希望被录取的愿望。例如可以这样写：“我相信，鉴于我本科的优异成绩，是值得被录取为硕士的。期待贵校回复好消息。”
最后来看看一篇参考范文。
Motivation Letter
Dear Sir or Madam,
I would like to apply for the English-Taught Master degree in Communication Engineering, which starts in December 2011. I am a BSc(Eng) in Telecommunications Engineering with Management, which is a joint degree program between Beijing University of Posts & Telecommunications(BUPT) and University of London.
Reasons for choosing CE of RWTH Aachen
I had spent nearly two years seeking the way of my life from 2007 till 2009.
Initially, as a freshman, I concentrated on the work of Student union and Beijing IETYME (Institution of Engineering and Technology Yong Member Section). As a result of my hard work, I was elected vice president in the third semester. However, instead of feeling much pleasure and excitement, I could not work up too much enthusiasm for the iterative activities.
Then I understood that the work of organization management didn’t really fit me. Naturally, I transferred my focus to study. I was heartily satisfied when I overcame puzzles even though the two-year distraction brought me great difficulties at the beginning. Since then, I started to realize that this should be the way of my life. I also found that I am most attracted by subject concerns with communication systems and excelled in courses such as Introduction to the Communication, Telecommunication Systems, Signals and Systems Theory, Internet Protocols, Digital Signal Processing and Microwave & Optical Transmission.
Through these courses, I learnt the simple infrastructure of communication system and basic theories such as Sampling, Quantization, Channel Coding, Queuing Theory, Fourier Transforms, Wireless Network, Digital Filter Design and Routing Protocol. However, I was still confused with questions like what parameters would influence the practical operation of equipment, how to integrate the single units, how can I make improvement to avoid disadvantages of existing theories.
In the summer of 2010, I participated in school laboratory which took charge of MIMO System optimization, one of national key scientific research projects. I keenly felt the lack of knowledge over that period, and was figuring how to exactly calculate the channel capacity in different conditions, how to instantly transfer channel state information (CSI) to transmitter antennas, how to apply the ideal model in the complex realities. I found these questions very fascinating.
Obviously, it is impossible to solve those questions with the current knowledge I leant in my undergraduate period, thus I decided to further my study. Another important reason is that what we learnt lags far behind reality, which can’t support me in operating advanced equipment. For example, the 8051 microcontroller I learnt in the course of ‘Microprocessor System Design’ was applied in 1990s.
While doing microwave experiment, my teacher mentioned that among the top three companies: Anritsu, ROHDE&SCHWARZ and Agilent, which produce VNA, R&S owns the unparalleled predominance compared with the other two companies.
Germany owns the most advanced technologies, the best research groups, first-rate industrial technology and rigorous elite education system, which strengthen my wish to continue my studies in Germany. RWTH Aachen University, which is among the best in Germany, enjoys an excellent international reputation and brings together many distinguished scholars.
