Main focus

; The main objective of this master’s programme is to foster in students the knowledge and skills required to promote gender equality, respect for minorities, and a positive approach to the differences between people, as well as the promotion of peace and democratic values. Accordingly, students will learn how to analyse and critically compare the theories and current models used in the psychology of social intervention. The programme will also train students to apply their knowledge of socio-psychological processes to the causes of social problems (immigration, prejudice, inequality, violence, road safety, etc.). Finally, students will learn how to critically analyse scientific literature and acquire practical knowledge in research techniques, production of hypotheses, and the interpretation of research results.
