Teaching pairs theoretical and clinical models with case analysis and several modes of clinical intervention and psychotherapy. Students gain experience of real practice through a supervised internship. The two-year programme runs for four semesters and totals 120 ECTS, ending with a 30 ECTS original research dissertation. Core units include assessment and interview methods and case study work, plus elective units from an optional group. Entry is open to holders of a licenciatura in psychological sciences or psychology, and the course prepares graduates for independent clinical practice.
