Built only from what the listing states. Lines marked (our advice) are ours.
A long application, by our reading.

1. CHECK YOURSELF AGAINST WHAT THEY ASK
[ ] You hold a non-EEA/non-EFTA passport and are in roughly the top 10% of graduates of a relevant degree
[ ] You have applied or will apply for admission to a full-time Leiden Master's programme

2. WHAT TO GET READY
The listing does not say what it needs. When you open their page, write down everything it asks for before you start.

3. DATES
- Closes 1 December 2026, in 40 days.
- On the date, the listing says: Deadline 1 December 2026
- Aim to send it by 28 November 2026. Websites slow down near a deadline, and data runs out. (our advice)

A job never asks you to pay to apply. A listing that charges shows the fee above, and it is paid only to the organisation. If anyone asks for money any other way, stop, and tell us: hello@qualifyafrica.com
