Candidates must also have a good level of comprehension of Spanish and Catalan, should be able to read scientific texts in English, and must have the interpersonal skills required to receive training in the field of psychosocial intervention.
The course is equally suitable for recent graduates and current professionals in any applied area of social intervention or in research in the discipline.

Admission requirements

In accordance with Article 16 of Royal Decree 1393/29 October 2007, students must hold one of the following qualifications to access university master's degree courses:
  • An official Spanish degree.
  • A degree issued by a higher education institution within the European Higher Education Area framework that authorizes the holder to access university master's degree courses in the country of issue.
  • A qualification from outside the framework of the European Higher Education Area. In this case, the qualification should be recognized as equivalent to an official Spanish degree.
