Psychology Abat Oliba - CEU University

Overview

Why study at the UAO CEU?

1. Employability

86.7% of our students find work after finishing their studies, 5 percentage points above the average for Catalan universities (AQU employability survey 2017).

2. Course satisfaction

87.7% of our students are satisfied with their Psychology studies, the second-highest level out of all Catalan universities (AQU 2017). 14 points higher than the average for Catalan universities.

3. Methodology

Our teaching model is based on practical training that is highly personalised to our students, allowing them to combine theoretical knowledge with professional practices through real internships in companies, schools, hospitals and day-care centres, as well as workshops and practical seminars. We are proud to boast more than 15 years of experience training experts in psychology.

We promote an active, entrepreneurial spirit among our students, for example with the creation of the Psykhé Group. This group organises the Annual Psychology Students' Day, where students present a project or study they have created during their degree to the public. This helps to reinforce our students' research skills early on, and provides valuable experience in public presentations.

4. Psychological Therapeutic Care Unit

Students in the third and fourth year of their Psychology Degree Abat Oliba - CEU University attend psychopathology sessions that are part of the Official Master’s Degree in General Health Psychology. Taught in UAO CEU's Psychological Therapeutic Care Unit at the Sagrat Cor University Hospital (part of the Quirónsalud group), this gives students the chance to attend and supervise clinical sessions with real patients.
