Learning based on case resolution and simulated practices.

Major global changes are creating new challenges for psychology today, impacting both individuals and society as a whole. This scientific field requires professionals who are trained to provide answers to problems such as eating disorders, school bullying and tech-related issues, such as cyberbullying, nomophobia and Internet dependence, among others.

Our methodology focuses on the simulation of real clinical cases in order for students to develop the skills needed to become future psychologists and understand human behaviour.

UNIQUE FACILITIES + INTER-PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION

Complete your training in our Simulated Hospital, a safe environment where you will learn to face multiple life-like simulated clinical scenarios and learn to interact with other healthcare students.

ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY

You will be able to use innovative therapeutic tools, such as virtual reality, with which you can intervene in all kinds of pathologies such as phobias and neuropsychological disorders.

PROFESSIONAL INTERNSHIPS

More than 600 hours of internships over the course of the programme. Starting in the third year, you will visit external centres to observe clinical practice with real patients. You can select up to four rotations.

PRACTISE AS A GENERAL HEALTH PSYCHOLOGIST

At our University, you have the opportunity to pursue a Master's in General Health Psychology, which is a prerequisite for accreditation as a General Health Psychologist.

What is our methodology?

The HyFlex experiential learning model responds to the digitalisation of higher education with a new educational ecosystem that combines in-person teaching with a virtual classroom in a flexible and frictionless way. In this model, all subjects feature a practical component, an extended classroom and a digital block. Experiential learning forms the basis of this model, in which you will learn by doing with an integrated and multidisciplinary approach that prepares you for a diverse and international world. This model allows you to acquire the knowledge, competencies and skills needed to thrive in your future profession and tackle any obstacles to social and digital transformation.

How will you learn?

Whether working in small groups in class, the extended classroom or the digital block, we integrate all pillars of our academic model so you acquire the knowledge, skills and values necessary to your development as a future healthcare professional.

Integrated learning: Starting in your first academic year, we break down subjects’ structural barriers, interrelating several areas of competence so you acquire an holistic understanding of the profession. We integrate and interrelate subjects of the same academic year, as well as across years, with clinical case studies. This way, students will learn about physiology, biology or anatomy—the foundation to any healthcare profession—in an integrated way. For example, you will study the concept of osmolarity, reactions of the cell in different environments, mechanisms for regulating water balance and how anatomical structures influence the process, all through a clinical case study that addresses, for example, the effect of excessive water consumption on a healthy person.
Inter-professional education: This allows students from different disciplines to learn together and from one another in a collaborative manner. The aim is to allow students to develop task-assignment skills, as well as authority and communication skills—all of which are necessary for their future professional development.
An example of collaborative work would be approaching a clinical case from different disciplines, such as neurological impairment from the point of view of a psychologist, a physiotherapist and a physician.
Professional environments: Students are immersed in the professional world from the very beginning of their academic journey, both thanks to a faculty made up of leading healthcare and research professionals, who provide a connection with the real world, and to a large number of clinical and laboratory placements in important Spanish institutions. Starting in their first academic year, students take part in practical rotations in partner hospitals, our dental clinics or the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC).
Simulated environments: These spaces allow you to go where the real world cannot. Thanks to the equipment and technology present in our laboratories—such as virtual reality in anatomy or 3D movement analysis—and the Simulated Hospital, students from the Faculty of Biomedical and Health Sciences are faced with situations that mimic the ones they will encounter in the real world. This allows students to learn in a controlled and safe interdisciplinary environment, instilling confidence in themselves and in their practice, ensuring they can offer the best treatment for their future patients and seamlessly collaborate with other healthcare professionals.

The One World approach allows students to gain an awareness of diversity, form a responsible and committed attitude, and understand inequality and common needs. Throughout the academic year, we work on some of the sustainable developmental objectives by way of curricular or extracurricular activities.

All of our degrees and qualifications take a closer look at new technologies, data analysis, and the importance of artificial intelligence in future professions, instilling an analytical and data-driven approach.

Digital transformation in the classroom

Universidad Europea is committed to digital transformation, allowing our students to achieve their goals with a number of tools:

The extended classroom: The pandemic has transformed the way we teach. For this reason, technology including cameras, 360° microphones and interactive whiteboards is present in all of our classrooms. This allows us to integrate in-person and virtual classrooms to create a new learning environment that facilitates interactions between in-person and remote students and their professors. This creates an immersive experience where students can fully participate in classes and interact with professors and peers, enriching the learning process.
Virtualisation of learning by doing: Besides the simulated spaces where you will undergo in-person training, you will also have access to labs, virtual simulation environments and gamification tools. In this way, you’ll complete the necessary hours of training to achieve maximum academic excellence. You will undergo virtual training of both the structure and function of the human body, while familiarising yourself with laboratory materials, procedures and techniques. There is no limit on the number of practical classes you complete. You can also carry out clinical reasoning simulations with virtual scenarios that can be developed in an emergency room, in a pediatric consultation or during an ambulance ride with patients of all ages and various pathologies.
The Digital Block: A digital space where our students can access additional and complementary training. It provides digital, exclusive and differential content to continue adding value to your training, offering workshops, interactive resources and webinars with recognised healthcare professionals. These resources can range from introducing a topic, explaining difficult concepts, summarising key concepts and helping students apply what they have learned. In addition, resources feature skill tutorials and procedures, and virtual reality scenarios. Resources are integrated and aligned with the learning outcomes and oriented to promote the four dimensions of our learning model: international, professional, intellectual and socio-ethical.
