The researchers invite us to rethink giftedness from diagnosis to intervention, taking into account a new approach based on neuropsychology, but including other disciplines such as education, where the teacher becomes a key agent for the cognitive and physical development of students with these characteristics. 

The progress made in recent years has led to the development of methodologies and educational experiences with successful results. However, this has required professionals with solid knowledge of the evolution of the concept of intelligence through the different models and theories. In this scenario, the teaching professional, faced with the highly likely presence of high-capacity students in their classroom, must be aware of the progress in this field. Based on the need for specialized professionals and in the face of an increasingly pressing demand, this professional master’s degree is born, which will be taught by professionals in Psychology and with extensive professional experience in high-capacity individuals. 

A program designed to offer a comprehensive knowledge with a solid theoretical framework, but at the same time with a practical approach that builds a complete university program with direct application in the classroom.
