The EADA experience at a glance

The Master will start at the beginning of October 26
The Master is a full-time program, which means that it strictly requires full dedication.
Since the master's degree is taught in person, your free residency will be in Barcelona during the academic year and in the residence designated by the residential partner of the scholarship.

The candidate must hold a Bachelor's degree and have between 0 to 4 years of work experience post graduation.

The candidate must match the generic admission requirements and successfully pass the admissions process, including tests, an interview with the programme director and others (motivation letter; summary of the social impact or innovation project -3000 characters/500 words maximum- & visualization of the project under the canvas model)
This is a merit-based scholarship for a candidate from AFRICA who strives to generate positive impact and/or social innovation in her country. It is necessary to know their future or present involvement in projects of these characteristics. Your motivation letter, project definition, profile and route, as well as the admission process will be key in this regard in your motivation letter.
No application will be studied that does not meet the requirements to apply for the scholarship.
Demonstrate sufficient English proficiency for successful participation in our programme

This scholarship also implies, once you finish your programme, you commit to being able to start or continue the project in your country of origin or in your community. Our scholarship program team will be happy to follow your project over time and learn about its trajectory.
This scholarship is aimed at candidates who lack the financial resources to complete a master's degree of these characteristics as well as residency during the program, and also belong to a low socioeconomic background (LSES).
In case you will be the selected recipient, your acceptance letter will include a commitment to comply with EADA’s regulations and to actively engage in the academic programme. Also authorising, when requested, the use of communication or promotional materials related to your experience and EADA’s partners; probably developing your Master’s Final Project around your project purpose and maintaining a long-term connection with EADA.

Upload your résumé, a copy of your passport, a motivation letter, a project description, and your Canva project.

Preselected candidates will be invited to complete the admissions process and a final interview.
