Once you have been admitted, we will ask you to confirm your place by paying a non-refundable deposit (€345). This fee is deductible from the total cost of the program and must be paid before the indicated date.

Your place will be reserved as long as the remaining tuition fees are paid by the due date, as described below.

The payment of tuition fees opens two months before the start of the term and closes one month before the start of the term.

If payment is not made before the deadline, the place will be assigned to another student on the waiting list and the deposit will be forfeited.

If you are not an EU citizen, you must obtain a student visa before coming to Spain to start the MAA program. Requirements may vary by citizenship, from country to country, and often from consulate to consulate within the same country. To get started, you should first contact your nearest Spanish Consulate or Embassy and request the list of documents and procedures for applying for a “type D” student visa (often a personal visit to the Consulate will be required). This visa allows a stay of 90 days in Spain. Within this period you must apply for the student card to legalize your situation.

MAA provides a letter of support called “Certificate of Acceptance” after you have been admitted to the program and paid the tuition deposit. If your consulate requests more information, we encourage you to contact us to inform us of your needs. We will adapt the certificate to reflect the information required by your consulate. As an incoming student, you will be responsible for all other information and documentation.

MAA will provide all possible support to help you. Applying for and obtaining the visa in time to start the program is your responsibility. We recommend that you contact the Consulate as soon as possible upon admission and keep us informed of any difficulties you encounter.
