It promotes an active, entrepreneurial attitude among students, like the creation of Grupo Psykhé.

This reinforces early research work and valuable experience for public presentations.

Over the course of the four years of the degree, transversal seminars and workshops will be carried out.

7. Internal student researcher

With the creation of this role, students may support research and apply their knowledge, whether in university teams or in health centres, as already happens in several hospitals around Catalonia.

  • participation in international research projects
  • short or long stays in foreign universities
11. Complete programme

The Official Master’s Degree in General Health Psychology prepares students to work in this qualified and regulated profession as a private practitioner or as part of the healthcare system. The degree can be further enhanced with the Doctorate in Health Science and Technology.
