Nationscapes: Nationalism Studies Program Essay and Photography Competition

Are you thinking of applying to our 1-year or 2-year MA programs? Now is your chance to secure a fast-track to our interview process—once your application has been submitted—by participating in CEU Nationalism Studies Program’s Nationscapes!

This year, we are asking you to describe an example of nationalism or the nation-building process in a small written statement or through a visual example.

The top five entrants will automatically be accepted to the second stage of the admission process—and will get to have a one-on-one interview with one of our professors about your interests, boosting your chances of getting accepted!

To take part, you can either write an essay or send us a photo with a relevant description related to one of the four topics listed below. The details are completely up to you, as long as you follow the guidelines.

Names of the winners, and winning essay titles and photos will be shared on our website!
