Admission of international students
At ESADE Eolia we accept foreign students of all nationalities, as long as they have a suitable profile for our studies in dramatic art. Depending on your level of academic training and the languages you speak, you can access different types of training:
If you want to train in interpretation in Barcelona, you can access our online language in Spanish that we offer at our 3r course of our higher education. Unfortunately, we do not offer English studies of Performing Direction and Dramaturgy, only in Spanish.
REQUIREMENTS:
- Have the passport in order.
- You must have at least 2 academic years taken at an official school or university in Dramatic Arts (BA or BFA, Higher Degree, University Degree). If the school is not official, its training and artistic experience will be valued.
- People without any training in Dramatic Art are not admitted in these studies.
AVAILABLE STUDY PERIODS:
- AUTUMN (first semester). From 15 from September to 31 in January.
- SPRING (2nd semester). From 1 from February to 15 in June.
NAME OF PLACES:
The number of places offered in each semester will depend on the students who arrive at our school through our exchange agreements. Eólica ESAD receives students from London and Chicago every year in the second semester (Spring). Therefore, usually the center has more places in the first semester (Autumn).
ADMISSION PROCESS:
To be able to access our online language in English, the interested party must send via email to international@eolia.cat the following documentation:
- Passport
- Artistic curriculum
- Letter of motivation in English

- Letter of recommendation from one or more teachers at your school.
- Certificate of level in English, if the interested party is not native.
- It will be necessary to conduct an interview via Skype with the director of Eòlica ESAD.
In the case of being admitted to the center, the student will have to pay the corresponding fee and begin their procedures with the embassy in their country. ESADE Eolia will provide a letter of acceptance to the student in order to obtain her study visa.

The price per semester at Aeolian ESAD is € 3.500. The admitted student must pay the first half one month before the start of the semester, and the second half at most the first week of classes.
Failure to pay tuition within the indicated time limits will result in the student not accepting the center.
Students who are moving from a center with an exchange agreement must pay the tuition at their center of origin.
IF I DO NOT SPEAK ENGLISH BUT I AM SPANISH, ALSO CAN I COME TO STUDY A SEMESTER?
Yes, we also admit some students to the line in Catalan / Spanish of our higher education, although we have few free places.
The admission process is the same, and all the documentation (curriculum vitae and letter of motivation) must be presented in Spanish. The subject proposal may vary depending on student level and available places. Therefore, the semester price may be slightly different. It will be necessary to do a study in each case and according to the academic year by which the request is made. Ask for more information at international@eolia.cat
If you do not have Spanish nationality you also have the right to access our Higher Degree in Dramatic Arts for 4 years. You can opt for the specialty of Interpretation or for Performing Direction and Dramaturgy.
Access must be done as the rest of the candidates to occupy a first grade place. It is essential to have the approved baccalaureate (official studies of your country up to 18 years) and to pass the test of access to our center that is held in June.
Is the Catalan language necessary? To access the specialty Interpretation yes, since in the Community of Catalonia we have two official languages, and by regulations of the Department of Education in official studies, our students must obtain the educational competencies in both languages. We do not ask you to have a perfect diction at the time of access, but you will have to defend a monologue in Catalan.
In the case of the specialty of Performing Direction and Dramaturgy, Catalan is not essential to speak.
What you have to keep in mind is that the registration period for entrance examinations takes place from April to June, and access tests are in person and are carried out at our school the second fortnight of June. You can not access these official studies by any other means.
INFORMATION OF STUDIES: You can find all the information about the subjects, the proof of access, the prices and the scholarships in our web page: www.eolia.cat/es/oferta-formativa/esad/
STUDY VISA: The school will provide the interested party with a letter of acceptance to the proof of access to higher studies once the fees for the proof (185 €) have been paid.
APPOINTMENT OF BATTLING: For international students, it will be essential that you certify your bachelor's degree in the Department of Education of Barcelona. In order to start the process, you will need to be residents in Barcelona. You will not be able to enroll in the first year if you have not begun the approval of the baccalaureate. More information on the homologation process at: queestudiar.gencat.cat/es/homologacio
The non-official training programs (Free Degree) are also open to international students, but they are studies that are not registered in the Spanish Ministry of Education. The advantage they have is that you are not obligated to do all the complete training, you can take the years you need and the subjects that interest you most.
In this training, it is not necessary to speak Catalan, but Spanish. We do not offer English lessons in free training. No scholarships are also offered in these unofficial studies.
Access to free training is done between May and September, and classes begin in October. It is not necessary to demonstrate official studies, but it is necessary to make a small hearing so that we can know your profile and your acting level.
INFORMATION OF THE STUDIES: You can find all the information about the training plans, the proof of access and the prices on our web page: www.eolia.cat/es/titols-propis-formacio-teatral/
STUDY VISA: The school will provide the interested party with a letter of acceptance during the first year of the training once registration fees have been paid for the course (200 €). It will also be necessary for the interested party to send their artistic resume and a copy of the Passport to eolia@eolia.cat.
If you have already completed a complete training at another school or college of dramatic art and you want to extend your knowledge, you have the option of making a tailor made plan with the different subjects that we offer in our free training.
The new techniques that you can acquire in our center are:
- Actress Daulte training.
