University Master's Degree in Social Policy and Community Action

The university master's degree in Social Policy and Community Action combines theory and practice, delivered by both academic and professional instructors, and it uses the methodology of case studies to approach the surrounding community with sensitivity and a willingness to get involved. 
It covers various areas of knowledge linked to social action and policy, mediation, community development and town planning, through visits, events and projects. 

It is aimed at graduates in Sociology, Political Science, Psychology, Social Work, Social Education, Education Studies, Educational Psychology, Economics, Law, Anthropology, Geography, History, Journalism, Primary Education and Early Childhood Education.

It is a product of inter-university participation through the Institute of Government and Public Policy (IGOP) and Escola FUAB Formació, University of Girona, University of Lleida and University of Vic. Each university brings its own area of expertise to the study plan (link in Spanish), within a decentralised, multidisciplinary approach.
