The full conception of the current ideal of education implies the need to attend to and educate in diversity, contributing in an equitable way to the development of all students, including those with some kind of disability and the 30% of students with learning difficulties. That is why the main essence of this Master's Degree in Specific Needs of Educational Support is to offer education professionals sufficient and specialised training to ensure an inclusive school that develops equity and, with it, greater social cohesion at a time when the specialities of Special Education and Hearing and Language are disappearing from the Master's degrees.
This is a master's degree with a professional character that will provide a specialisation pathway for different graduates (teachers, pedagogues, psychologists, psychopedagogues, etc.) who intend to dedicate themselves to the wide field of Attention to Educational Needs, allowing them to broaden and deepen their knowledge, strategies, procedures and attitudes for Special Education. It will try to respond both to the demand for initial training of new graduates in Primary Education or Early Childhood Education, as well as to the ongoing training needs of current teaching professionals and school guidance practitioners.
The contents of the training are based on the specialisation framework of the European degrees (Didactics, School Organisation, Theory of Special Education) while not forgetting basic aspects (Developmental Psychology, Conditions and Quality of Life, Neurology, Psychopathology)...and are completed with a specialisation on specific disorders (intellectual, auditory, visual impairment, learning difficulties, behavioural problems, etc.). At the same time, it includes new ways of explaining cognitive weakness, of assessing it and of making intervention decisions using the model that underlies the PASS Theory of intelligence; its measurement through the D.N: CAS (Cognitive Assessment System) of Naglieri and Dás (1997), which operationalises the measurement of PASS cognitive processes and their neurological correlates based on the work of Luria on the functional organisation of the brain. This model is being developed in a large number of universities in various countries and supports lines of research with significant empirical support such as the Australian University of Newcastle (PASS processes and academic achievement), the University of Utrecht (Usefulness of PASS in children with ADHD) or the Spanish universities: the University of Zaragoza (reading processes) or the University of Xirona (emotions and PASS processes, sequential dyslexia).

The selection will be made by academic record, within the different groups:
Graduates in Primary Education and Infant Education (10 places)
Specialist teachers in Special Education, Hearing and Language, Early Childhood Education, Primary Education, Foreign Languages and Music Education (5 places)
Degrees in Psychopedagogy, Psychology and Pedagogy (4 places)
Graduates in Physical Activity and Sports Sciences and Teachers in Physical Education (4 places)
Active secondary, primary and pre-primary school teachers and managers of centers or entities dedicated to caring for people with disabilities (3 places)
Foreigners outside the EHEA with a degree equivalent to Psychology or Psychopedagogy (2 places)
People with disabilities (2 places)
NOTE: Vacancies in one range may be filled by applicants from other ranks in the above order.
Likewise, the following Admission Requirements and / or Merit Assessment Criteria will be taken into account:
Average grade of the academic transcript for graduates in Psychopedagogy, Psychology, Pedagogy, Bachelor of Science in Physical Activity and Sports, Specialist in Special Education, Hearing and Language, Physical Education, Music Education, Foreign Languages, Infant and Primary Education. The same goes for foreigners outside the EHEA.
Regardless of the degree of access, years of service for active secondary, primary and infant teachers and for the managers of centers or entities dedicated to the care of people with disabilities.
Priority will be given to applications from students applying for full-time enrollment over those applying for part-time.
One of the important factors when considering a master's degree is the cost of study. Luckily, there are many options available to help students fund their master's programme.
