Description and Objectives
The Master's Degree in Psychosocial and Community Intervention offers specialized, comprehensive, solid, and multidisciplinary training for individuals who wish to engage in both research and intervention in the field of psychosocial and community action.
In this sense, it aims to be a space for learning, creation, and innovation regarding social problems and conflicts, with the goal of empowering those who seek to prevent and eradicate situations of inequality, discrimination, or social exclusion.
Therefore, the educational design of this Master's program has been developed with the conviction that, for both professional practice and research in the field of psychosocial and community intervention, it is necessary to adopt a critical and systemic analysis perspective on social scenarios, issues, and the forms of marginalization and violence associated with them.
This perspective is complemented by rigorous qualitative and quantitative methodological training.
The development of the Master's program aims to equip individuals for the design, implementation, and evaluation of research or psychosocial and community intervention programs in public and private sectors, including Social Services, the Third Sector, and Social Economy. Special emphasis is placed on the development of strategies to enhance personal, group, and community resources as a core tool for intervention.
