Dean's welcome address
At the Blanquerna School of Psychology, Education and Sport Sciences-URL, founded more than 70 years ago as the Blanquerna School of Teacher Training, we teach the fields of Psychology, Education, Sport, and Speech and Language Therapy.
The differentiating features of the school and our methodology revolve around the student. Students are the center and the focal point of the Blanquerna university project, which is characterized by the fact that teaching takes place in small groups, with personalized assistance, international mobility, and internships in relevant institutions and companies in each field. We are characterized by ongoing educational innovation, and we achieve a high level of teaching quality with great professionals from the sector who establish spaces for constant dialogue and provide their knowledge and experience. As a result, our graduates have a high employment rate.
