The Nika Scholarship has changed - here's how:

 It is now a 1-year program, instead of 2-years like before

You will spend one year with Miami Ad School Europe. In our renowned training for Copywriters and Art Directors!

 Next to paying your tuition fees, Bank of Georgia supports your cost of living!

You will study for one year or four quarters, with two out of four quarters spent onsite in Berlin. Here, you will need to rent an apartment. So any additional support helps!

 With the shorter educational program comes a new structure of the course:

You will have fewer classes to attend and only do one internship (before, in the 2-year program, you had to do 3-4 internships).

This is how the course is structured

As you will most likely rely on a 90-days tourist visa, you can structure your time with MASE like this:

OPTION 1 (preferred)

🇬🇪
You decide to spend the first quarter online and join remotely from Georgia.

🇩🇪
You decide to spend the second quarter onsite and join us in person in Berlin.

🇬🇪
You decide to spend the third quarter online and join remotely from Georgia.

🇩🇪
You decide to spend the fourth quarter onsite and join us in person in Berlin.

OPTION 2

🇩🇪
You decide to spend the first quarter onsite and join us in person in Berlin.

🇬🇪
You decide to spend the second quarter online and join remotely from Georgia.

🇩🇪
You decide to spend the third quarter onsite and join us in person in Berlin.

🇬🇪
You decide to spend the fourth quarter online and join remotely from Georgia.
