Are you keen on improving the attention given to individuals and their needs within our current society? The official master's degree in Educational Psychology prepares you to work with people from an interdisciplinary perspective with the aim of improving the needs detected in formal and non-formal educational contexts.
Do you like working with children, young people and adults in risk of social exclusion? This master's degree will allow you to diagnose and evaluate their needs to help find the most adequate inclusion processes.
We have years of experience in the field; the UAB was the first university to offer courses in Educational Psychology.
At the UAB, you will also find research groups that are directly connected with the field of education psychology and related contexts.
The master's degree's specialisation in Formal Education qualifies you to work in the educational guidance specialisation within secondary school centres. The specialisation in Non-formal Education will provide you the tools needed to work in inclusive, non-formal education contexts.
Career options
Depending on your bachelor's degree, you will be able to choose from the following career options:
in formal contexts:
- Educational psychology counselling departments and offices
- University education counselling
- Specialised education services
- Residential and teaching centres
- Centres for the disabled
in non-formal contexts:
- Public employment services
- Public administration information and consultancy services
- Vocational training centres and training consultancies
- Support for labour market integration services
- Special employment centres
- Human resource consultancies and departments
- Educational and social foundations
Work placements
The master's degree is organised and structured into modules. One of the compulsory modules you will have to take corresponds to the Work Placement module.
The contents of this compulsory module are considered fundamental and are a priority for the training of future professionals in this field.
The module structure is common in both specialisations, although its contents and development is related to both the common and specific modules corresponding to each specialisation.
The work placement module contains two differentiated, but complementary parts. The work you will carry out throughout the module will help you come into contact with the reality of the profession, and for this reason a large part of it takes place at an education centre:
- firstly, you will have to become familiar with the daily aspects of the centre, how it works, its structure and organisation, and how to fit into and work with the activities taking place at the centre.
- Secondly, you will need to become part of a specific context in order to carry out intervention activities, both with the help of others and on your own.
- All in all, both in the preparation phases at university and in your stay at the centre, your job will be to put into practice the skills you will need professionally and do so with the help of your tutor at university, with the work placement coordinator and with your tutor at the centre.
