Shanghai is the economic center of China, and international relations relies heavily on trade and economics. This makes this university ideal for studying International Relations. Additionally, Shanghai is an international city, where people from all over the world and all over China gather, making it a place where China's international relationship with other countries can be seen in day-to-day interactions. This university is also one of the top ranking international universities in China, and second-to-none for foreigners who wish to study China first hand. I chose this university simply because it is the best place for me and my continuing education.

Reasons from R********************
My deep interest in International Relations lies mainly in desire to require further knowledge of our ever changing world and I deeply believe that Shanghai International Studies University will be the perfect choice for that. Observation of impacts of political ideas on one's society and the influence of international affairs of small countries, like mine, makes me realize how International relations are crucial for understanding the modern world today. Furthermore, I believe that this Masters Program will enable me to expand my knowledge in the main aspects of international relations such as foreign affairs, relations within the international community, international organizations, multi-national corporations and so forth. Furthermore, I have a great interest in current world affairs such as globalization, economic development, nationalism, migration, which are all the issues of international relations.With my master's studies I hope I can help in my country's main foreign policy goal, that is to join the European Union. For this reason my goal is to broaden my perception of International relations and hopefully help my home country of Montenegro better adapt to the international political arena.
I did my exchange studies of one semester at the University of Warsaw, Poland. That gave me the opportunity to hold discourse of the Chinese economy during the Cold War at the German Historical Institute Warsaw. Research I conducted for my discourse gave me a great insight into how the Chinese economy transforms itself to become a manufacturing powerhouse that it is today and deepened my overall interest in China.
There are many reasons for which I have chosen China to pursue my Master studies. China's ever bigger influence in the world with its steady economic growth seems as a very attractive destination. Its technological advancement and high ranking education institutes makes it a perfect choice for pursuing a Master's degree. With great experiences of other students from Montenegro in China I'm even more convinced in my choice to pursue a master's degree there. People's Republic of China has bilateral relations with Montenegro, which makes China a suitable country for studying international relations.Furthermore, China's fascinating and vibrant culture is of great interest to me and I would be grateful to learn about and live by the norms and values of the Chinese people.
I am hoping for your favorable consideration and I look forward to your reply.
