This is a unique advanced master’s degree that combines the management of common diagnostic classifications within multiprofessional teams and their involvement in daily practice. This combination allows students to address the real demands within the within the field of work they practice.

Diversity is understood as the differences that students present in school learning, differences in terms of aptitudes, interests, motivations, abilities, maturity rates, learning styles, previous experiences and knowledge, social and cultural environments, etc. These aspects make up student typologies and profiles that should largely determine educational planning and action.

The perspective from the emerging educational paradigm must be inclusive and must be based on a biopsychosocial model that contemplates attention to diversity from a comprehensive approach aimed at the entire educational community. Psychologists, in the different educational stages, need to know the characteristics of these students, how to identify their needs and have the knowledge and tools to intervene at a personal, socio-familial and, above all, educational level.
