Stages of the admission process

Stages of the admission process

The admission process for School's own degree studies is carried out in three stages:

  1. Pre-enrollment
  2. Admission
  3. Enrollment

Pre-enrollment

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:

  1. Sign up on the unique registration system and create a username (if not previously obtained) and follow the instructions to completion.
  2. Make a payment of €100 (non-refundable fee for pre-enrollment rights and processing) can be made by credit or debit card, through a secure and confidential BBVA process.
  3. Upload the required documentation through the document repository:
  • ID card (both sides)
  • Resume
  • In some courses, other documents must be attached if the page on each degree indicates as such.

Admission

When pre-enrollment has been completed, the candidate will be offered a date for an interview with the coordinator of the degree, who will assess their suitability and resolve 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 and the pre-enrollment period is over, the student will be informed of the result of admission and the enrollment procedure, where applicable.
It is essential to be admitted to the MUPGS (detailed) of FPCEE-Blanquerna in order to study the double master's degree.

Prior to enrollment, the person concerned must upload the following documents to the document repository:

  • ID card (both sides), passport or NIE residence card
  • Resume
  • Postgraduate/master's degree accreditations (if you have a master's or graduate studies, please include a document certifying it, whether it is a certificate, degree receipt or ongoing record)
  • Accreditation of English level, where available
  • Academic record (certified or with verification code) of the bachelor's degree in Psychology
  • Degree or diploma receipt (certified or with verification code) of the bachelor's degree in Psychology

The assessment of the application includes the fulfillment of the following requirements to enroll in the MUPGS and the following selection criteria:

  • Average grade of the academic record of the bachelor's degree in Psychology (1-5 points): Excellent 5, Good 3, Pass 1
  • Specific training and/or experience in the field of clinical and health psychology (0-2 points)
  • Eligibility for master's degree training (0-2 points)
  • Certified English level (0-1 point)

Enrollment

Once the above documentation has been assessed, and when there is a large enough group of pre-enrolled students, each candidate will receive the confirmation and information necessary to enroll. Enrollment implies obtaining a definitive place and will take effect within the deadlines indicated in the confirmation e-mail.

When students enroll, they will have two business days to pay the total cost of enrollment, by bank transfer, credit card or barcode. Studies can be paid in installments, without any interest, by bank transfer (Instructions to send the signed SEPA Document to Blanquerna)

Prices may be updated each academic year. Once enrollment has been formalized, the amount paid will not be refunded under any circumstances. Pre-enrollment and enrollment may remain open up to 15 days before the start of the course, provided places are available.

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 formalized 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.

Foreign students

Applicants who have completed access studies outside Spain must obtain a certificate issued by the relevant body (university, embassy, consulate) confirming that the studies qualify the student in the country of issue to take the 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.

Master's Degree Thesis

The master's thesis is an integration of the knowledge acquired throughout the program and comprises the development of skills relating to writing a document consisting of a set of explanations, theories, ideas, reasoning and assessments on a specific subject chosen by the advisor and the student, with a focus on the field of children and adolescents, their families or caregivers.

It is mandatory. It must be carried out individually and under the supervision of the assigned advisor. The master's thesis will conclude with a defense, in which the student must present their work publicly before an assessment committee.

The papers must be developed individually or in pairs following quantitative, qualitative, or mixed methodology. Projects must be written in Catalan, Spanish, or English.

The thesis is carried out each semester and it is compulsory. It will be supervised by a professor-advisor with a PhD.

Continuous monitoring is provided. Group sessions are combined to organize and structure a research project following APA guidelines, along with individual tutoring sessions for each project to provide more personalized guidance.

The assessment consists of two grades. The assigned advisor gives a grade taking into account the continuous follow-up of each paper and the development of the master's thesis (70% of the final grade). Presentation and public defense in front of an assessment committee, made up of two professors of the department; neither of whom may be the advisor. The grade will be given by consensus; if there is no consensus, each member of the assessment panel will award a grade and the average will be taken (30% of the final grade).
