Journalism Experience
Application Reflections
 
In order to learn more about you as a candidate, we would like you to answer the following questions. Though short, your 
answers will be evaluated not only on their content, but also on their writing style, quality, and coherence. Please be sure to 
clearly answer all four questions in your application.
1. Regarding your choice of second-year specialisation (either Politics & Communication in Amsterdam,
Totalitarianism & Transition in Prague, Business & Innovation in London, Cultures & Contexts in Munich) please
explain why you have chosen to apply for a place in this particular specialization. (Character-limit 1250 including
spaces)
Please provide details about what you consider your most important professional experience in journalism. And please 
explain why you have chosen that experience. 
This should not be a blow-by-blow account of what you did, but more of a wider reflection on how this experience 
informed your own practice OR fired your interest in the specific area of journalism that explains your inward 
trajectory towards, and application for, your chosen Mundus specialisation.
(Character-limit: 1250 including spaces)
