Master's Degree in Socio-educational Intervention for Children, Adolescents and Families

Academic year 2021-22

This version of the curriculum will undergo a termination and adaptation process in the 2022-23 academic year.
Continuing students may remain on this curriculum or request an adaptation to the new curriculum by direct admission. Please see the information on the termination and adaptation process.

Adaptation process

The Master's Degree in Socio-educational Intervention for Children, Adolescents and Families was approved on 29th July 2010. An initial curriculum amendment was later requested and approved on 3rd July 2018. More recently, a second curriculum amendment was requested and approved on 3rd November 2021.

In light of this amendment, the third edition of the Master’s Degree in Socio-educational Intervention for Children, Adolescents and Families (MIS3) will come into effect in the 2022-23 academic year. In turn, the adaptation procedure for the second edition of the programme will begin (MIS2).

As a consequence of this curriculum amendment, the elective subjects on the programme will no longer be tied exclusively to the professional and research pathways. In this sense, students will be able to take any elective to attain the necessary six elective credits on the degree programme, in addition to the 41 mandatory credits and 13 credits to be passed on either of the two master’s pathways.

Curriculum Adaptation Calendar

  • Initial academic year of adaptation process: 2022-23
  • Second academic year of adaptation process: 2023-24
  •  Final academic year when the second edition ends: 2024-25.

Student Admission

New students on the Master’s Degree in Socio-educational Intervention for Children, Adolescents and Families will be admitted to the MIS3 from the 2022-23 academic year.

Re-enrolment for Continuing Students

Students currently on the MIS2 programme will have two academic years (2022-23 and 2023-24) to pass the subjects required to be awarded the degree.

Students may enrol for the first time on a subject as long as they were enrolled in the previous year on any subject for the same or subsequent academic year.

In exceptional cases, students who have reached the limit of two enrolments for a subject may request a last enrolment (without taking classes) in the following year. This enrolment must be authorised by the relevant Pro-Vice-Chancellor for teaching, who will make a decision after consulting with the programme coordinator.

The enrolment deadlines for each academic year will be published on the Centre for Postgraduate Studies website.

Teaching

Subjects from the MIS2 programme will continue to be offered with teaching, as long as the new MIS3 curriculum includes an equivalent subject.

Adaptation

Students on the MIS2 programme who have not passed the requirements to be awarded their degree in the stated timeline, or those who simply wish to do so, may request a curriculum adaptation to the MIS3.

Adaptation applications must be submitted to the Centre for Postgraduate Studies within the deadlines published for each academic year.

The fee for the curriculum adaptation process will be set in accordance with the public fees published every year.
