"My main subjects at the University, Philosophy, and Sociology, prepared me for many different situations in life. I think one of the most important is how to learn. That is the reason I am ready to explore other subjects and get familiar with different topics. They made me curious and open-minded."

You've got a solid start here, but instead of stating that your coursework has prepared you "for many different situations in life," I suggest providing specific skill sets that you've learned and how those skills would translate to this role at EUROCONTROL. For example: "My coursework in philosophy and sociology has given me critical thinking skills and a robust understanding of human nature; these skills are transferrable to nearly any role and will definitely be an asset to me as I join EUROCONTROL."
