I personally believe that motivation is the key for success at a MSc level and I want to point out that I?m highly motivated to take on the challenge of taking a double degree at NHH and the University of Mannheim. I think that combining the profiles (MSc in Energy, NaturalResources and the Environment at NHH and MSc in Management at Mannheim) constitutes a great match and will be very useful in the future, simply because a profound managerial understanding will be crucial in facing the Twin Challenges o f Climate Change and the Increase in demand forEnergy. Germany is today a benchmark country when it comes to renewables with a feed-in-tariff system that actually stimulates diversified energy production. My background and my ambitious personality will a llow me to contribute as well as gain knowledge in not only academia but also in society and culture as elements of an everyday German life.
