In addition, starting in the 2024 academic year, a university dual degree in Business Administration Management and Psychology has been launched.
The faculty also offers two own expert university degrees:
- Diploma in Person-Centered Attention to Diversity.
Aimed at students and graduates of education university degrees. UFV Education students have the possibility of taking this expert degree simultaneously with their university degree studies. - Diploma in Methodology and Innovation in Research.
The INICIA program focuses on training young people interested in scientific research through an innovative and international educational proposal that covers the philosophical, epistemological, methodological and technical foundations of the scientific knowledge construction process
Students and professors, together with the administrative and service personnel, form a community that lives its professional vocation as a way of serving. We strive to form a team that stands out not only for its scientific knowledge but also for the integral formation of people.
Our common research objective is to advance in the understanding of the person in all its dimensions and from different educational and psychological perspectives. In the field of education we research mainly in: prevention and bullying, education in virtues, education in leadership and attention to diversity. In the field of psychology we research in physiology and neuropsychology, violence, interpersonal conflicts, clinical psychology and active aging.
