- Candidates must pass the selection process and demonstrate proficiency (oral and written) in English and French.
- They must also complete a personal interview with the course coordination. Due to the characteristics of the course, places are limited. Places will be awarded strictly in order of enrolment amongst those candidates who pass the selection process.

NOTE: The cancellation of the registration can only be requested, due to justified force majeure, within a period of 30 days from its formalization, and with the total payment done. The refund of the amount will be calculated taking into account the download of course material, as well as participation in tutorials and mock exercises. In no case will more than 75% of the total amount of the course be returned. It will be the Director of the CEI who will assess the justification of the alleged force majeure and who will resolve the cancellation of registration.
In the event that the student has formalized the registration with a scholarship, the student must request the cancellation of it and pay the registration fee before submitting the cancellation request.
In serious and exceptional cases duly justified, the Director of the CEI may decide to cancel the registration outside the deadlines established by the CEI. The resolution of the Director determines the economic and academic effects of the cancellation.
With the collaboration of the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation.
