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
[ ] a national of an African country with a Swiss embassy call (Tunisia closed 13 Oct 2026)
[ ] born after 31 December 1991
[ ] a master's degree or equivalent finished by 31 July 2027
[ ] a letter of support from an academic supervisor at a Swiss university

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 27 October 2026, in 5 days.
- Aim to send it by 24 October 2026. Websites slow down near a deadline, and data runs out. (our advice)

4. WHAT IT COSTS YOU
- Nothing to apply.

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
