Disinformation and Societal Resilience (1-year programme)

Cover letter components: What are the candidate s qualifications and motivation to enter the programme? (Give a short overview of your work experience and/or disinformation-related challenges encountered.) What is the problem the candidate wants to solve, and why? How does the candidate intend to practically apply the competencies acquired in the programme in the future (e.g., in a specific job, organisation, community)? How will the candidate s studies benefit the candidate s native country or local community? How does the candidate assess his/her general and professional competencies (oral and written communication skills in English, ability to find and read academic texts, teamwork skills, online collaboration skills, ability to create audio-visual materials, international collaboration skills, experience in social science research, data analysis and interpretation skills)? When evaluating their competencies, please provide examples of their application and an assessment of whether they are excellent, good, satisfactory or insufficient. Candidates do not need to be experienced or competent in all of the above the self-assessment will help us to plan support seminars. Which stakeholders will help the candidate to solve the central problem of his/her motivation letter? Visualize the relevant stakeholders who should be involved in solving the candidate s problem. Drawing, sketch or visualisation, up to half an A4 has to be uploaded as a separate file in your DreamApply application.
