Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need previous experience with data?
It isn’t essential. The programme starts at a basic level in analytics. What you do need is curiosity and a willingness to learn new tools.
Is it compatible with work?
Yes. The format combines live sessions with pre-recorded content. It is designed to fit in with a working life.
When does the next programme start?
The 4th edition of the MBDA and the 1st edition of the MFDA will begin in October 2026. Places are limited and are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
What is the difference between the MBDA and the MFDA?
Competitive sport and the partner club. Methodology, structure and rigour are equivalent. The MBDA works with Movistar Estudiantes and the MFDA with RC Deportivo de La Coruña.
Is there any possibility of a scholarship or funding?
Yes. We assess each case individually. Please write to us and we’ll consider it during the admissions interview.
What if I don’t fit the profile?
We’d rather have an uncomfortable truth than an empty promise. If it’s not the right fit, we’ll tell you straight, and, if we can, we’ll point you towards more suitable options.
