The aim of this master's degree is for students to specialize in the area of work and organizational psychology. We hope to provide multidisciplinary, quality training that responds to the challenges that society poses for professionals who want to work in this field.

The course offers an overview of all aspects of human resources (technical competences) and the relationship between this area and other parts of the organization. At the same time it is an opportunity to develop and apply personal and interpersonal skills in a practical environment.

We adhere to the guidelines set by the European Association of Work and Organizational Psychology (EAWOP), an organization whose main objective is to support the development and application of work and organizational psychology (W&O Psychology) in Europe, and to promote cooperation between scientists and professionals in the field.

The application for admission can be submitted online or in person at the school.

For the online application for admission, the following will be required:

1. Sign up on the unique registration system and create a username (if not previously obtained) and follow the instructions to completion.
2. Make a payment of €50 (non-refundable fee for application for admission rights and processing) can be made by credit or debit card, through a secure and confidential BBVA process. Alumni are exempt from payment.
3. Upload the required documentation through the document repository:

• ID card (both sides), passport or NIE residence card
• Resume
• In some courses, other documents must be attached if the page on each degree indicates as such.

When application for admission has been completed, the candidate will be offered a date for an interview with the coordinators of the degree, who will assess their suitability and resolve any doubts they may have about the course for which they are enrolling. Motivation, academic transcript and professional experience will be taken into account for the selection of students. Once the assessment is complete, the student will be informed of the result of admission and the enrollment procedure, where applicable

Prior to enrollment, the person concerned must upload the abovementioned documentation to the document repository:

• Qualification or receipt of the qualification of the studies that give the student access to the master's degree.
• Original official academic certificate or certified copy of the bachelor's degree transcript.
• For foreign applicants: certificate issued by the relevant body (university, embassy, consulate) confirming that the studies qualify the student to undertake master degree or graduate studies in the country of issue.

Enrollment formalization is the final procedure to obtain a place in the master's degree:

• The date of enrollment formalization is communicated individually to the person concerned and can be done online.
• After this, they have two business days to pay 50% of the total cost of the credits for which they have enrolled, by bank transfer or using a barcode at the bank; the remaining 50% is split into nine monthly installments, from October to June, payable by direct debit using the bank account indicated at the time of enrollment (Instructions for sending the signed SEPA document to Blanquerna).

Alumni of official qualifications from the School are given a 15% discount on the enrollment fee (non-cumulative discount) if they enroll full time and for all the credits that the qualification offers. Prices are updated each academic year. Once enrollment is complete, the amount paid will not be refunded under any circumstances.​

Students who are admitted can choose between two forms of enrollment, depending on whether they already qualify for university admission:

1. Advanced conditional enrollment: This allows students who meet the following requirements before July 15, 2026 (pending confirmation) to bring forward their enrollment:

   - Have submitted the documentation described in the place application section.

   - Be in a position to meet the requirements for conditional enrollment (see next section) before the end date of the regular place application period.

   - Have completed the interview and received admission from the Master's Degree coordination team.

2. Conditional enrollment: Students who have not yet obtained a bachelor's degree and who require a maximum of 9 more credits and/or the thesis yet to do can apply for this. For conditional enrollment, the student must be enrolled for the outstanding credits for their bachelor's degree.
   Unless the student has passed the bachelor's degree giving them access, they will not be able to defend the thesis and, therefore, will not be able to obtain the master's degree.
   To be eligible for this option, the person concerned must sign this information document in which they agree to the particularities of conditional enrollment.
3. Final enrollment: Final enrollment is when the person concerned has completed the admission pathway for the university master's degree.

When a student enrolls, a contract for the provision of teaching services is formalized between the student and the Blanquerna Foundation, which is legally binding from the time of payment. Payment includes the corresponding insurance and, for students under the age of twenty-eight, compulsory academic insurance. If a student declines to take up a place, he/she will lose in full any amount he/she has paid.

The student accepts the rules for the use of computer services established by the Blanquerna Foundation. The student's personal data will be included in an automated file under the responsibility of the Blanquerna Foundation, so that this contract can be formalized and fulfilled. Students should note that their data may also be used to inform them about the future activities of the Foundation, or for the institution to send them publications.

In accordance with the provisions of Organic Law 15/1999 on the protection of personal data, students have the right to access their data to update, rectify or cancel them, or object to their use, by sending a letter, indicating which right they want to exercise.

This section is a summary of the general conditions for enrollment. It is only for guidance and therefore has no contractual value. In the event of any discrepancy, the provisions of the general conditions for enrollment specified in the receipt generated at the time of enrollment will prevail; this receipt formalizes the contract between the student and the Blanquerna Foundation; students can consult it on the intranet whenever they wish.

The School cannot guarantee that a course will be available if the requirement for a minimum number of enrollments is not met. In this case, the amount paid for enrollment and pre-enrollment will be refunded in full.

The School reserves the right to ask candidates with qualifications outside the EES for a letter from their university, embassy or consulate to certify that their studies enable them to pursue a master's degree or graduate studies.

Students are responsible for having all the official documentation necessary for their stay in Spain while studying at the School. Applicants can ask for a pre-acceptance document attached to the pre-enrollment receipt to initiate applications for visas or scholarships or carry out any other administrative procedure. Under no circumstances does this document guarantee a place if all the access and admission requirements are not met. Once applicants have been accepted and enrollment is complete, they can request a letter of admission from the Academic Secretary, if required (they will have to pay the corresponding fees).

The master's degree thesis may focus on research or intervention and will be supervised by a doctor teaching the master degree.

The thesis will include an introduction setting out the conceptual framework and reviewing the main studies and interventions in the area to be studied. Subsequently, an analysis is carried out to detect the needs that lead to a definition of objectives. Finally, the project or proposed intervention is described in detail.

An advisor monitors the student's work and supervises the preparation of the thesis. This support consists of helping to establish the objectives and purpose of the thesis, a schedule and work plan that ensures academic rigor and the future relevance or applicability of the end product.

The evaluation of the thesis will be in two parts: preparation and written work evaluated by the advisor (30%) and the oral defense of the thesis evaluated by the Assessment Committee (70%). Both parts must be passed and the final grade will then be determined by the combined scores. The assessment criteria for the thesis reflect the competences consolidated while it is being prepared, the quality of the final product, and the student's public defense of the thesis.

The final grade will thus be the result of various partial evaluations:

• Competences consolidated while the thesis is being prepared: credit will be given for persistence and consistency in the different stages of preparation, and progress in the acquisition of the skills and attitudes necessary for research and intervention. This assessment will be performed by the project advisor.
• End product: the aspects that are normally taken into account in scientific publications will be assessed to ensure the coherence and quality of the research or intervention project. The project advisor and the members of the panel will submit a report to the Post-Graduate Committee, at least one week before the public defense of the project.
• Skills achieved in the defense of the thesis: the clarity, accuracy, originality and quality of the presentation will be assessed according to the normal requirements for the oral presentation of a project before a panel.
