    Professional Outings

    The regulation of psychology in the health field has made the existence of regulated university training through Master's programmes a necessity. Since the approval and publication of the General Law on Public Health, the General Health Psychologist has been legally recognised as a Health Professional and the professional competences in the area of health that are specifically reserved for him/her have been established.

    The qualification of General Health Psychologist is obtained after passing the degree in Psychology and the complementary completion of the official master's degree in General Health Psychology.

    The Master's Degree in General Health Psychology aims to provide an outlet for people who hold a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology or a Graduate in Psychology and who wish to work professionally in the field of health.
