LETTER OF

MOTIVATION

ACADEMIC YEAR 2024-2025

M1 PUBLIC POLICY

Dear Members of the Admissions Committee,

This letter reflects my sincere desire to apply to Paris Dauphine University - PSL for the Master of Public
Policy (M1) program for the 2024–2025 academic year. I think this program is a great fit for my
academic and professional goals, since I'm really committed to improving my knowledge of public policy
and making a positive impact on society.

Academic Background

I graduated from Moi University with a Bachelor's degree in Business Management (Maritime
Management-Major), having established a strong foundation in Research, Strategy development,
Evidence-based policymaking, Policy implementation, Policy evaluation. I now have a strong respect for
critical thought and a strong desire to confront difficult societal challenges as a result of my academic
experience. Courses like Organizational Theory and Behavior, Strategic Management, helped me
understand the complexities involved in formulating and analyzing policy.
My educational background has also given me useful research abilities. During my undergraduate
studies, I successfully finished a research project that was centered on Resource Allocation: Experiences
and Challenges in County Governments. My capacity to collect, evaluate, and understand data was
sharpened by this project, and I'm excited to continue honing this skill set in the Master of Public Policy
program.

Professional Background

Adding to my academic background, I have managerial-related practical experience. In my previous role


at Buzeki Logistics, I actively participated in vendor negotiations and witnessed directly how public
policies affect running of organizations. My ambition to learn more and actively participate in creating
successful public policy has been stoked by these professional encounters.

Alignment with the Program

I am drawn to the Master of Public Policy program at Paris Dauphine University - PSL because of learning
outcomes such as, acquiring a thorough mastery of the qualitative and quantitative methods used in the
social sciences, developing an excellent knowledge of businesses and governments at the local, national
and international level, open up to research and higher education in the social sciences through affiliation
with the research laboratory.

The emphasis on Corporate Policy and Social Responsibility, Public Policy and Opinion, Urban Policy and
Territorial Governance particularly appeals to me. This is in perfect alignment with both my research
interest in Comparative Public Policy and my professional aim of Public Policy Consultant.
Furthermore, the program's dedication to promoting student-led projects and a collaborative learning
environment aligns with my views on the value of varied viewpoints and proactive participation in policy
discourse.

Conclusion

To sum up, enrolling in Paris Dauphine University - PSL's Master of Public Policy program seems like a
logical next step for my academic and career development. My excitement stems from the possibility of
adding my distinct experiences and viewpoints to the lively academic community at Paris Dauphine
University - PSL.

Thank you for considering my application. I am confident that my academic and professional
experiences, coupled with my enthusiasm for Public Policy, make me a strong candidate for the
program. I look forward to the opportunity to further discuss my application during an interview.

Sincerely,

Clare Chelagat Birgen
