Documents required for admissions applications

The completed application form must be accompanied by the following documents:

• Certificates of language proficiency
• Curriculum vitae
• Cover letter (format included in the application)
• Two cover letters (format included in the application form) to be completed and signed by professionals from the academic or business world. If the person signing the letter is an alumnus of Centro de Estudios Garrigues, only one such letter will be required.

Candidates for master's programmes will be invited by letter (with a copy sent by email) to sit an admissions test on a first-come, first-served basis and in accordance with the exam schedule established by the Admissions Department.

The test consists of:

• Psycho-technical test.
• Writing test.
• Group dynamics.

Candidates who pass the above tests will be invited to an interview.

Given that places are limited, in order to be allocated a place, once the candidate has received their acceptance letter (whether conditional or unconditional), they must pay the amount indicated in the letter in order to reserve their place on the programme, if there are still places available at the time of payment.

In any case, if the candidate has not provided proof of payment of said amount within 15 days of receipt of the acceptance letter, Centro de Estudios Garrigues may withdraw its offer of a place.

Candidates must submit the following documentation to Centro de Estudios Garrigues when reserving their place on the programme:

• Photocopy of ID card

• Direct debit authorisation form, duly filled in
• Invoicing details form, duly filled in
• Copy of the receipt of payment of the reservation fee

The reservation fee is non-refundable. It will only be returned to candidates who, after receiving a conditional acceptance letter, cannot prove that they meet the necessary requirements for admission to postgraduate studies on the start date of the master's degree.

The reservation fee can be paid in any of the following ways:

· Bank transfer to the account held by Centro de Estudios Garrigues at:

BANKINTER IBAN: ES 98 - Bank no.: 2100 - Branch no.: 5731 - Control digit: 71 - Account no.: 0200327094

· For international payments, via the Flywireplatform, which allows you to make secure payments from any country and bank, and usually in your home currency.

Proof of payment or bank transfer must be sent to Centro de Estudios Garrigues as soon as possible by post or fax, clearly indicating the name of the student and the programme requested. Reservations will not be confirmed until proof of payment is received by the Admissions Department.

For all other payments, the remaining amount can be paid in the following ways:

• As a general rule, the total amount due must be paid by bank transfer to the account indicated above or by Flywire prior to the start of the programme, or otherwise by direct debit, which will be charged in October.
• When expressly requested, it may be paid in two instalments by direct debit. The corresponding payment amounts will be debited from your account in the first 15 days of October and January, respectively.

In any case, the total amount of the tuition fees shall be considered as due on the first day of the programme, regardless of whether part of the payment is deferred, according to the agreed payment schedule.
