Application for admission
The application process for a place in the 2026-2027 academic year is now open and consists of three phases:
- Application for admission
- Admission
- Enrollment
1. Application for admission
The application for a place can be made online or in person and entitles the applicant to participate in the admission process.
It can be done via the Application for admission button on the page for each degree, or directly from here, and requires:
- Registering in the single registration system and creating a user account (if not done previously).
- Making a payment of €50 (non-refundable) for admission rights and procedures. This can be done with a credit or debit card through a secure and confidential process with BBVA bank.
- Uploading the documentation to the document repository before the deadline for the place application process.
- Identification document (DNI, NIE, Passport)
- Certification of university entrance qualifications (PAU (University Entrance Exams), CFGS (Higher-Level Vocational Training), International Baccalaureate Diploma, etc.) if available at the time of applying for a place.
It can be done at the School itself, by going to the Student Information and Guidance Service (SIOE), and the following must be submitted:
- Photocopy of the identification document (DNI, NIE, Passport)
- Photocopy of the certification of university entrance qualifications (PAU (University Entrance Exams), CFGS, International Baccalaureate Diploma, etc.) if available at the time of applying for a place.
- Payment of €50 (non-refundable) for admission rights and procedures. This can be made in cash or with a credit or debit card.
2. Admission
Approximately within two working days after the place application, the student will be informed by email about their admission. If admitted, the same message will invite them to formalize enrollment, including instructions on when and how to complete the procedure.
The criterion used to call admitted students to formalize enrollment will be the order of payment of the place application. For degrees with more than one shift, note that a shift may fill up during the enrollment period. The place will be definitive once the student has submitted the documentation with the final university entrance information and the first enrollment payment has been made.
For degrees taught in English, students must demonstrate a minimum B2 level of English to be admitted. The level can be accredited through the level test that all degree students must take before starting their program. To prove the minimum level, an official language certificate of B2 or higher can also be submitted: IELTS (6-7), TOEFL (IBT 90-110), CAMBRIDGE, or Official Language Schools, obtained within the last two years. Certificates from other organizations will not be accepted. The certificate does not exempt students from taking the level test to determine the English level for the first year.
It is the student's responsibility to have a level equivalent to B2 in the language of instruction of the degree to properly follow classes
3. Enrollment
The student called to enroll may choose between two options, depending on whether they already have the definitive entrance pathway or not.
- Conditional Enrollment
Enrollment in the degree can be formalized before passing the PAU (University Entrance Exams) or CFGS or having the entrance pathway. Enrollment will be conditional on the presentation of the corresponding admission pathway. This option secures the place and allows choosing the shift, in the case of degrees with more than one shift, while places are available.
If the student does not obtain the entrance pathway, the enrollment fee will be refunded, but they will lose the place, preference in shift selection, and the amount paid for the place application (€50). If places remain available in July, they may choose to stay on the waiting list until September, and the money will be held, but they will no longer have preference for shift selection. If they do not obtain the entrance pathway by September, the enrollment fee paid will be refunded.
- Final enrollment
It will be formalized if, at the time of processing the enrollment, the student already has the university entrance pathway. They may opt for the available places and shifts.
IMPORTANT: Degrees with more than one shift may exhaust places in a specific schedule with conditional enrollment. The required documentation must be uploaded via the Document Repository.
The place will be definitive once the student has submitted the documentation with the final university entrance information and the first enrollment payment has been made.
NOTE: Students in the Communication Degrees must take an English level test that will not be exclusionary for admission but will determine the level at which they start the first year. Each student will be informed of the test date and time by email.
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% will be divided into nine monthly payments from October to June via bank direct debit from the account provided at the time of enrollment. Prices for each academic year are updated annually.
Once payment is made, the corresponding receipt of enrollment can be viewed in the student's Document Repository and via the student's portal.
INTERNATIONAL OR FOREIGN STUDENTS
For the foreign student admission process, the following considerations and requirements must be taken into account in accordance with the prevailing regulations.
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). Therefore, they do not need to take the PAU (University Entrance Exams), but without the mentioned credential, they cannot enroll in our 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.
These students may access our degrees by submitting the homologation of the High School diploma from the Spanish Ministry of Education or from the autonomous communities with transferred competence, such as 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.

Treball Final de Grau
El Treball Final de Grau (TFG) és una assignatura d'11 crèdits que es desenvolupa al llarg del 4t curs, durant els dos semestres. Consisteix en l'elaboració d'un projecte que integri les competències bàsiques adquirides a la titulació.
Es tracta d’una experiència d’ús de coneixement i de contextualització en una problemàtica o situació específica.
Els objectius a assolir són:
- Dissenyar amb rigor una aproximació de caràcter tècnico-científic a una temàtica pròpia de l’Educació social o del Treball social.
- Integrar el major nombre possible de coneixements de caràcter conceptual, procedimental i actitudinal que s’hagin treballat durant el Grau.
Continguts
Es poden elaborar diferents tipus de TFG, de manera que cal diferenciar els aspectes conceptuals, propis de les temàtiques que abordi cada projecte específic, dels aspectes procedimentals, metodològics, de disseny i d’avaluació.
Tipologia de treballs
Hi ha cinc grans tipologies de TFG que s’agrupen en dos blocs: intervenció i recerca. Tot i això, hi poden haver propostes de TFG que continguin components de més d’una tipologia de treball (per exemple, pot ser un treball de recerca aplicada que té una part d’intervenció). L’estudiant haurà d’ajustar el guió definitiu del TFG amb el seu tutor.
TFG Intervenció: Es tracta de desenvolupar una proposta d’actuació socioeducativa en un context específic, a partir de l’estudi diagnòstic d’aquella realitat. Es pot especificar en dues tipologies que es presenten tot seguit:
- Disseny i/o implementació d’un projecte en un àmbit professional: anàlisi d’una realitat social, identificació d’una necessitat i disseny d’una proposta d’intervenció (i, si escau, també la seva implementació).
- Projecte d’emprenedoria social: anàlisi de l’entorn i el producte o servei, anàlisi del mercat, detecció de necessitats actuals i emergents, pla de màrqueting, planificació organitzacional i financera i pla d’avaluació.
TFG Recerca: Es tracta d’una proposta de treball d’anàlisi i/o aprofundiment d’una temàtica de l’acció social. Es pot concretar en dues tipologies que es presenten tot seguit:
- Treball de recerca aplicada: pretén generar coneixement fonamentat a partir de l’anàlisi de resultats empírics i/o oferir recomanacions per a la intervenció social.
- Treball d’aprofundiment teòric: estudi que té com a objectiu descriure l’estat de la qüestió sobre una temàtica, l’ampliació, la intensificació o aclariment d’aspectes conceptuals o teòrics d’un camp coneixement.
- Treball sobre un cas únic: consisteix en fer una presentació de la problemàtica específica d’un cas i/o problema a abordar, l’exposició de motius o raons fonamentals per plantejar i dur a terme l’anàlisi d’aquell cas, explicar la situació de partida, proposar una acció i els beneficis que pot aportar la seva implementació.
Metodologia
El TFG és individual, exceptuant aquells casos que, en funció de les seves característiques, es consideri la conveniència de realitzar-lo en un petit grup. S’ha de redactar en català, castellà o anglès però, en qualsevol cas, el treball haurà d’incloure un resum en aquestes tres llengües.
La realització del TFG té una durada de dos semestres, i el supervisa un/a professor/a mitjançant tutories (individuals i grupals) presencials i a través del campus virtual.
Sistema d'avaluació
L'avaluació del TFG inclou:
- Avaluació contínua: seguiment continuat de cada treball i lliurament de dos informes de progrés.
- Presentació avant-projecte de TFG: Presentació d’un avantprojecte en què es desenvolupin de manera estructurada i fonamentada els aspectes més rellevants del treball.
- Presentació i defensa pública davant d'una comissió d'avaluació constituïda per professors/es de l'àrea.
- * Caldrà realitzar un mínim de 4 tutories amb el tutor/a per dipositar el TFG.

Pràctiques
El Pràcticum de Grau esdevé un dels eixos principals de cara a l’assoliment de les competències professionals. És l’element que serveix de pont entre el món acadèmic i el món professional, ja que permet connectar els aprenentatges teòrics amb aquells que són més pràctics.
A causa de la importància de la dimensió pràctica de les nostres professions i del fet que el Grau prepari essencialment per al seu exercici, el Pla del Pràcticum es desenvolupa de forma progressiva al llarg dels quatre anys dels estudis del Grau. Durant els dos primers cursos, el Pràcticum s’organitza en seminaris pràctics, mentre que en el tercer i el quart curs les pràctiques es realitzen en centres.
Des d’aquesta òptica no hem d’identificar el Pràcticum amb les pràctiques externes, sinó que hem de tenir en compte que integra tant el treball realitzat a les aules de la universitat com l’aprenentatge en la pràctica de l’exercici professional.
Triple dimensió del Pràcticum
El Pràcticum, ja sigui des del treball a les aules de la universitat com en l’espai de pràctiques, ha d’assegurar una triple dimensió:
- Capacitació personal: conèixer les pròpies capacitats, habilitats i destreses, relacionades amb la professió.
- Capacitació acadèmica: adquirir coneixements i desenvolupar competències vinculades a l’exercici professional, als àmbits que pot tractar i als posicionaments teòrics que emmarquen l’acció social.
- Capacitació tècnica: saber aplicar instruments i protocols imprescindibles en l'activitat professional quotidiana.
