Tourism Development and Culture1
Dear selection committee of the Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree.
I am writing for the Post Graduate (MSc) degree on Tourism Development and
Culture delivered by The University of Glasgow (UoG), Lund University (LU), The
University of Malta (UM), and the University Institute Lisbon (IUL). I graduated in Diploma
in Management, from the Technological University Tajikistan in 2010. I also acquired an Ex-
Post Graduate Diploma in Management from IMI India. During my studies and through the
subsequent work experiences, I have gained significant interest and knowledge in important
fields like sociology, humanities and psychology. Furthermore, I have also gained significant
expertise in the English language through exposure. In terms of languages, I have proficient
user fluency in Russian (C2) and English (C1) as well as a basic user fluency in French (A1).
I had started off my professional career with volunteering for a number of financial
organisations as a student. Afterwards I worked for more than five years as an assistant to the
professor at Technological University of Tajikistan. Within that tenure I supervised students
on subjects like Marketing Research, Consumer Behaviour and Human Resource
Management. This had also allowed me to develop several of my key professional skills,
while helping me develop a strong interest in marketing and HRM myself.
My two latest professional experience include working as a volunteer intern at Good
Neighbors, an NGO, and at the Front Office in The Bareffot Eco Hotel, where I am presently
employed. My current job requires me to attend to visitors, either in person or over the
telephone, responding to various queries, maintaining effective communication between the
visitors and the management, monitoring security and maintaining a safe and neat reception
area. This job allows me to deal with tourists and visitors on a vast scale, and has been a
significant motivator for my decision to progress with the current Master’s Degree
programme that I am applying to.
