Master's Degree in Social and Educational Action | Master's degree | Teaching & Education | On Campus | Universitat de Barcelona | Spain

The aim of the master's degree in Social and Educational Action, which is one of the university master's degrees offered by the Faculty of Education, is to learn the methods and develop the knowledge required to: analyse and compare the logic and dynamics of social policies in different contexts; identify the characteristics of social action, and tackle new and emerging problems and situations affecting at-risk populations. The master's degree examines current social and educational context and seeks to respond innovatively, fairly and equitably to the various problems it presents. Therefore, one of the main objectives is for students to develop competences to address new and emerging problems and situations in at-risk populations and groups, through research, action, innovation and change. The master's degree prepares students to work in a broad range of professional areas (including social work, education and community health) and provides in-depth training for tasks in research, management, planning, assessment, consultancy and supervision. The master's degree is aimed at university graduates in the field of education (social education, pedagogy, early childhood education, primary education, educational psychology and equivalent degrees) or in the social sciences (social work, nursing, social psychology, sociology, anthropology and equivalent degrees), as well as other graduates with proven professional experience in the education or social sector.
