The degree in Early Childhood Education is intended for students who know that working alongside youngsters is their true vocation. People who enjoy working with children from 0 to 6 years old. Persons who have a high school diploma or who have already done advanced vocational training in Early Childhood Education, and who are patient, curious, sensitive and eager to share and work as a team, and who, knowing the transformative power of the school, want to work for equal opportunities for all children.
From 0 to 6 years old is the stage when children acquire the basis of learning that will serve for their future development. The sensitivity of children from 0 to 6 years old, their tenderness and defenselessness, as well as their natural gifts, requires the best professionals. The passion for education needs to be complemented with solid training to, thus, give children what they need. If you think this is the right path for you, kindergarten is waiting for you.

hours of internships in schools
The Blanquerna methodology is based on seminars, a core element in achieving personalized and qualitative learning and holistic training that includes not only academic and professional competencies but also personal and human skills.
Seminars with small groups of 10-12 students facilitate interdisciplinary learning, intellectual and professional reflection, and customized learning. The faculty advisor collaborates in students' academic, personal and vocational orientation.
We have agreements with more than one thousand internship centers and a 95% job placement. Internships are carried out in pioneering and innovative organizations, institutions and schools that allow you to vindicate everything you have learned during the degree.
Studying abroad is a life-changing experience. We offer you the opportunity to take part in various exchange programs and international cooperation programs and to do internships abroad. Furthermore, the curriculum includes training to obtain B2 level English certification.
ApS (Learning and Service) is a complex activity that integrates service to the community with learning: one of the main ideas is that our students can learn by accompanying other social institutions and continue to grow in the acquisition of values and critical thinking. These are activities or projects in which learning is linked to performing a real service.

Pre-enrollment entitles you to take part in the admission process and can be done online or in person.
Online pre-enrollment can be accessed from the pre-enrollment button on each bachelor's degree web page, or directly from here.
You need to:
People pre-enrolled in the; bachelor's degree in Psychology, the double major in Psychology and Education, and the double major in Psychology and Speech and Language Therapy, will have the option to enroll on a conditional basis (see enrollment section), provided that there are places available and:
- They have a provisional (or final) grade equal to or higher than 7 (if coming from a high school diploma) or 8 (if coming from CFGS) in the university entrance exams (the student must submit the last grade they have: grade of 1st or 2nd of high school diploma or CFGS with an official document from the center containing the final average grade of the course - or the definitive access route if they have one), upon passing the entrance exam and once the supporting documentation has been uploaded to the document repository.
Foreign baccalaureates: students coming from international high schools will have to submit an official document from the center of origin containing the final average grade of the course and its equivalence to the Spanish system.
If the grade is not higher than 7 they will be able to participate in theallocation of places in June (with conditional enrollment, where applicable), which will be based on the provisional (or final) grade. In order to participate, the following is required:
- Pass the entrance exam, at the latest, on July 2, 2024.
- Post to the document repository the documentation that proves the provisional or final grade of the university entrance studies (grade of 1st or 2nd year high school diploma, of CFGS or the access route in the event of already studying at university) until June 3, 2024.
People who wish to pre-register for the bachelor's degree in Physical Activity and Sports Sciences anddouble majors that include this optionas stated in the degree access protocol, must submit before the specific entrance exam:
Check whether there is any other required documentation according to the access route and also upload it through the document repository. Upon pre-enrollment, the applicant will be given a pre-enrollment receipt stating the day, time and location of the admission test.

Upon pre-enrollment, the applicant will be given a pre-enrollment receipt stating the day, time and location of the admission test.
Besides having the university entrance route, the School of Psychology, Education and Sport Sciences (FPCEE) has its own admission tests suitable for the degrees offered and these are held once pre-enrollment is completed.
The planned schedule of FPCEE admission tests is:
After this date, in the event that there are places available in any bachelor's degree course, new admission tests will be scheduled. The date of this test is assigned upon pre-enrollment and is recorded on the corresponding pre-enrollment receipt, which students can always consult in their document repository. Students who reside outside Catalonia and Andorra and have proven difficulties in taking the test in person on the assigned day may change the date or request to do so online.

Persons admitted for enrollment can choose between two options, depending on whether or not they already have an admission pathway:
Note: The criterion used to call admitted students for enrollment in the two enrollment periods (conditional and final) is by order of pre-enrollment. It is important to bear in mind one timetable option may fill up during the (conditional) enrollment period. Admission will be confirmed as final if the student delivers the necessary documentation with their university admission test, entrance exam or CFGS, and completes final enrollment in July.
Note: The required documentation must be uploaded through the document repository.
Special Note for the bachelor's degree in Psychology:
Once pre-enrollment has been done, in order to enroll in the bachelor's degree in Psychology, the applicant has three options:
1) Conditional (or final) enrollment, as long as there are places available, if you have a provisional (or final) grade equal to or higher than 7 (if coming from a high school diploma) and/or 8 (if coming from CFGS) in the university entrance exams (the student must submit the last grade they have: grade of 1st or 2nd of high school diploma or CFGS with an official document from the center containing the final average grade of the course - or the definitive access route if they have one), upon passing the entrance exam and once the supporting documentation has been uploaded to the document repository.
Foreign baccalaureates: students coming from international high schools will have to submit an official document from the center of origin containing the final average grade of the course and its equivalence to the Spanish system.
2) Participate in theallocation of places in June (with conditional enrollment, where applicable), which will be based on the provisional (or final) grade of the access path.
In this case, it is necessary to upload to the document repository the documentation that proves the provisional or final grade of the university entrance studies (final grade of 1st or 2nd year high school diploma, of CFGS or the access route in the event of already studying at university) until June 3, 2024 and having passed the entrance exam, at the latest, on June 3.
3) Participate in theallocation of places in July, which will be done in accordance with the final grade of the access path. In this case, it is necessary to upload to the document repository the documentation with the final grade (tickets under review will not be accepted) of university entrance studies (high school diploma + University Entrance Exam or CFGS) until July 1, 2024 and having passed the entrance exam, at the latest, on July 2.
Studies can be paid upfront and/or in interest-free installments. If payment by installment is selected, upon enrollment the student will have two business days to pay 50% of the total cost of the enrolled credits, using their chosen form of payment; this payment will not be taken by direct debit. The remaining 50% is split into nine monthly installments, from October to June, payable by direct debit using the bank account number provided upon enrollment (see Instructions for sending the SEPA document signed at Blanquerna). Prices are updated each academic year.
Here you can find the general enrollment conditions for studies at the FPCEE.
Once payment is made, the corresponding receipt of enrollment can be viewed in the student's document repository and via the student's portal.
For the foreign student admission process, the following considerations and requirements must be taken into account in accordance with the prevailing regulations. In the case of foreign students not included in the following subsections, please contact the Student Information and Orientation Service.
Students must apply to the Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia (UNED) to obtain the credential certifying that they meet the requirements to access university studies within the state education system (UNED Credential). They do not have to sit the university entrance exams, however, without the credential they will not be able to enroll in our bachelor's degrees.
The education systems that can be accessed through this pathway are: Germany, Andorra, Austria, European Schools (European baccalaureate), International Baccalaureate, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Denmark, Slovakia, Slovenia, Estonia, Finland, France, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Norway, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, the United Kingdom, the Czech Republic, Romania, Sweden, Switzerland, China and Cyprus.
Can access our bachelor degrees by presenting the convalidation of their baccalaureate degree by the Ministry of Education of the Spanish State or the duly authorized Autonomous Communities, as is the case of the Generalitat de Catalunya. Proof of application for convalidation will be sufficient for students to enroll and begin taking a bachelor's degree course, however full enrollment is conditional on convalidation being confirmed. Bear in mind that convalidating studies can take more than three months to complete, so this process should be done in parallel with the admissions process to our bachelor's degrees. If the convalidation resolution is not obtained in the terms requested by the interested party, the results of any exams taken, or the enrollment made as a result thereof, are rendered null and void.

The objective of the bachelor's thesis is to evaluate the assimilation of the core skills acquired during the bachelor's degree. Essentially, it consists of writing a research project or designing an intervention program that allows the student to prove they have assimilated the degree's competences.
The thesis is written during the fourth academic year and has its own seminar. The student decides the topic on which they wants to do the paper, as well as its type, and is tutored by a professor-advisor specialized in the field, who follows the student throughout the course in the Seminar space. The topics may be related to or refer to any of the areas of the profession.
To write the thesis, the student can decide to do a research project or design an intervention program, and the subjects may be related to any of the areas of the profession or make reference to it.
The work will be conducted individually. Projects must be written in Catalan, Spanish, or English. In any case, the work will have to include a summary in English, Catalan, and Spanish.
The bachelor's degree thesis will last two semesters and will be supervised by a professor-advisor, both individually and through Seminar sessions. Thus, there will be a space of two hours per week in which the teacher-advisor will hold group seminar sessions in order to share the process being conducted (set guidelines and organize the activity, choose the topic, provide documentation, plan the activities, etc.). These Seminar sessions will be alternated with individualized follow-up/tutoring (in which each advisor will personally follow up on the thesis).
There will be three grading systems and assessment times:

As the European Union points out, gender equality is not only a matter of social justice but also affects the results of teaching and research. Promoting gender equality in research and innovation is one of the European Commission's commitments, and it supports the explicit integration of a gender perspective in Horizon 2020 projects. However, this recommendation is often poorly understood and misapplied. Various documents are presented here with a view to contributing to a better understanding and application of the gender perspective in teaching and research.
