According to Royal Decree 1393/2007, graduate studies must provide the student with both basic and sufficient academic training for professional practice and qualify them to continue studying and pursue a master degree. Master degree studies include advanced specialized and multidisciplinary training, the aim of which will be academic and professional specialization or embarking on research activities. Master degrees are required to access PhD studies, which are aimed at providing advanced training in the field of research and lead to preparing a PhD thesis and obtaining a PhD qualification. The master degrees have been adapted to the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) and are structured in ECTS credits (European Credit Transfer System), which make it possible to share a compatible credit system, comparable criteria and methodologies and a duration similar to that of European qualifications, with the aim of facilitating and promoting the mobility and incorporation of students into the European workforce. Master degree studies have a minimum of 60 credits and a maximum of 120 credits. This equates to one to two academic years. ECTS credits are characterized by being student-centered to ensure the student leads their own learning process. Each credit is equivalent to 25 hours of training and is used to count class hours (theoretical and practical), personal study, participation in seminars, assignments, external internships and assessment tests. During an academic year, a student can get a maximum of 60 full-time credits and 30 if they have a part-time job.

University master's degrees are official degrees awarded by the Ministry of Education and Vocational Training, in accordance with the requirements of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) and the guidelines set out in the Bologna Declaration. To access the official master degree, you must hold an official Spanish university degree, or a degree from another country that is part of the European Higher Education Area. Access to master degree studies is regulated by Royal Decree 822/2021, of 28 September.
These studies are also open to students with a degree issued by an education system outside the European Higher Education Area, who do not need to have it approved, provided that the level of training is equivalent to that of an official Spanish degree and that, in the country of origin, the degree gives access to graduate studies. However, admission does not in any case imply the convalidation of the degree or any other type of recognition beyond allowing the student to access master and graduate studies at the University.
Phases of the admission process
The admission process for university master degree studies at the School is developed over 3 stages:
Students can pre-enroll online (by accessing Pre-enrollment | Blanquerna or the pre-enrollment option for each course) and also in person at the school.
For online pre-enrollment, you will need to:
Once pre-enrollment has been completed, the candidate will be offered a date for an interview with the degree coordinator, who will assess their suitability and solve any doubts they may have about the course for which they are enrolling. Motivation, academic transcript and professional experience will be taken into account for the selection of students. Once the assessment is complete, the student will be informed of the result of the admission and how to enroll, if admitted.
Prior to enrollment, the person concerned must upload the following to the document repository the documents previously mentioned:
Enrollment formalization is the final procedure to obtain a place in the master degree:
Alumni of official qualifications from the School are given a 15% discount on the enrollment fee (non-cumulative discount) if they enroll full time and for all the credits that the qualification offers. Prices are updated each academic year. Once enrollment is complete, the amount paid will not be refunded under any circumstances.
Students who are admitted can choose between two forms of enrollment, depending on whether they already qualify for university admission:
When a student enrolls, a contract for the provision of teaching services is formalized between the student and the Blanquerna Foundation, which is legally binding from the time of payment. Payment includes the corresponding insurance and, for students under the age of twenty-eight, compulsory academic insurance. If a student declines to take up a place, he/she will lose in full any amount he/she has paid.
The student accepts the rules for the use of computer services established by the Blanquerna Foundation. The student's personal data will be included in an automated file under the responsibility of the Blanquerna Foundation, so that this contract can be maintained and fulfilled. Students should note that their data may also be used to inform them about the future activities of the Foundation, or for the institution to send them publications.
In accordance with the provisions of Organic Law 15/1999 on the protection of personal data, students have the right to access their data to update, rectify or cancel them, or object to their use, by sending a letter, indicating which right they want to exercise.
This section is a summary of the general conditions for enrollment. It is only for guidance and therefore has no contractual value. In the event of any discrepancy, the provisions of the general conditions for enrollment specified in the receipt generated at the time of enrollment will prevail; this receipt formalizes the contract between the student and the Blanquerna Foundation; students can consult it on the intranet whenever they wish.
The School cannot guarantee that a course will be available if the requirement for a minimum number of enrollments is not met. In this case, the amount paid for enrollment and pre-enrollment will be refunded in full.
The School reserves the right to ask candidates with qualifications obtained outside the EES for a letter from their university, embassy or consulate to certify that their studies enable them to pursue a master degree or graduate studies.
Students are responsible for having all the official documentation necessary for their stay in Spain while studying at the School. Applicants can ask for a pre-acceptance document attached to the pre-enrollment receipt to initiate applications for visas or scholarships or carry out any other administrative procedure. Under no circumstances does this document guarantee a place if all the access and admission requirements are not met. Once applicants have been accepted and enrollment is complete, they can request a letter of admission from the Academic Secretary, if required, by paying the corresponding fees.
For any doubts or queries about the pre-enrollment or enrollment process, please contact the School's Student Information and Orientation Service.
[email protected]
Students must submit a master degree research or intervention project that will be supervised by a doctoral professor attached to the master degree program. A total of 6 ECTS is allocated to this project (equivalent to about 48 hours of group sessions plus additional individual sessions).
This project will be publicly defended before a panel made up of doctoral professors from the master program. In the case of the research track, the members of the panel must be accredited by ANECA, the AQU or an equivalent agency. It is recommended that one of the members of the panel be from outside the master degree course, but they should be a member of a graduate studies program at the Blanquerna-URL School of Psychology, Education and Sport Sciences.
Students must submit a master degree research or intervention project that will be supervised by a doctoral professor attached to the master degree program.
The master degree thesis may be written up in Catalan, Spanish, or English.
A total of 6 ECTS is allocated to this project (equivalent to about 48 hours of group sessions plus additional individual sessions).
The assessment criteria for the master's degree thesis are concerned with the competences consolidated during the preparation process, the final product and the defense of the thesis itself. The final grade will thus be the result of various partial evaluations:
- The skills consolidated during the preparation process (15 %): grades will be given for persistence and consistency in the different stages of the project preparation, and progression in the acquisition of the skills and attitudes necessary for the research and intervention. This assessment will be performed by the project advisor and the students themselves (self-assessment).
- Article (60 %): the various aspects taken into account in most scientific publications will be assessed to ensure the consistency and quality of the research or intervention.
- Skills achieved in the oral defense of the thesis (25 %): the clarity, accuracy, originality and quality of the oral presentation of the project will be assessed according to the requirements of presentation before a panel.
The following are taken into account for the purposes of assessing the internship:
The internship is an opportunity to put into practice the learning acquired in the other subjects of the master degree. Internships provide relevant contact with career reality and are therefore an important source of professional and personal enrichment.
They also develop the critical and self-critical capacity necessary to formulate questions, and thus become an essential driving force for scientific research and for academic and professional development as a whole.
MUP students are required to do internships at an institution involved in psycho-pedagogical projects and training and educational guidance, for a total of 280 hours of external practical experience, plus 70 hours within the School Seminar, under the guidance of an MUP professor with individualized support and follow-up.
The internships are carried out in institutions with which the Blanquerna-URL School of Psychology, Education and Sports Sciences has an internship agreement. These are public, subsidized and private centers.

In addition, students can look for other centers engaged in guidance and psychopedagogical activities to do their internship.
As the European Union points out, gender equality is not only a matter of social justice but also affects the results of teaching and research. Promoting gender equality in research and innovation is one of the European Commission's commitments, and it supports the explicit integration of a gender perspective in Horizon 2020 projects. However, this recommendation is often poorly understood and misapplied. Various documents are presented here with a view to contributing to a better understanding and application of the gender perspective in teaching and research.
