Sample cover letter for Internship position at DAAD

Dear Sir or Madam,

looking for an instructive and challenging working environment I have become aware of DAAD. Therefore, I would like to apply hereby for a scholarship at the Carlo-Schmid Program.

Currently, I am having an exchange semester abroad for my studies in the degree program Business at the Hunan University in China and in March I am starting with the final thesis in Germany, the topic will be in development economics.

Right after my bachelor thesis I have to take an internship in order to graduate. My main interest and my passion for Human rights and development economics were the reason of my application for this program. As human rights activist I have enough knowledge in the field that I would like to deepen through this internship. As a teenager, I made my first steps in this field through social commitment.

As a business student I also have skills in finance and administration. My language skills are one of my strengths: in addition to Arabic, French and German, I speak fluent English and have Basic knowledge in Chinese. Moreover, I have outstanding intercultural competences because I am a Moroccan, studying in Germany and lived for 6 months in China. My high social skills and structured work offers fresh air and positive Energy to the team.

I would be glad to provide my theoretical knowledge and my skills and wish for an extensive experience that will lead to a progressive evolution of my personality through the working atmosphere.

I would love to introduce myself and I am looking forward to hearing a positive answer.

Best regards
