Study Financial Advisor Course for Religious Organisations and the Third Sector in Madrid

Get trained online in religious institutions and the third sector

Acquire specialised knowledge in religious institutions and the third sector through a 100% online programme delivered in collaboration with Banco Sabadell.

You will benefit from a practical and personalised approach to financial management.

Discover how your passion is transformed into knowledge

We place students at the heart of the learning experience, combining academic rigour with ethical reflection and a sense of social responsibility, supported by close personal guidance and a strong university community.

Hierarchical structure of the Church

You will gain an overview of the organisation of the Catholic Church, enabling you to understand how it operates in civil and legal matters through its various entities and institutions.

The module explores the diocese as the basic territorial structure and the parish as the fundamental organisational unit, with particular reference to the entities most relevant in civil and legal contexts.

Taxation

You will learn to identify the tax obligations arising from the activities carried out by the Catholic Church, both in relation to its core functions and in the development of economic activities. The programme also addresses the fiscal implications of transactions and operations commonly undertaken in professional and business settings.

You will be prepared to provide effective advice, in accordance with current legislation, on the taxation of the Catholic Church and its institutions.

Assets

You will distinguish between the regulatory frameworks applicable to legal entities created by the Catholic Church and those established by other religious denominations, with particular attention to their constitution, legal capacity, capacity to act, and representation.

You will understand the requirements and mechanisms through which religious denominations in Spain operate within the civil and legal framework.

Social doctrine of the Church

You will understand the meaning and implications of a personalist view of economics.

You will confidently apply the main principles of Catholic Social Doctrine (DSI) within the business environment.

You will differentiate between Catholic Social Doctrine (DSI), the Social Economy (FSE), and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).

You will distinguish socially responsible investment from ethical finance and learn how to carry out an ethical evaluation.

You will study a key text of Catholic Social Doctrine, Evangelii Gaudium, developing the skills to read, analyse, and interpret it rigorously.

Development cooperation and the third sector

You will learn to apply current regulations governing social organisations in Spain. The role of volunteering as the driving force of the third sector is examined, including the legal definition of volunteering and the activities that fall outside this scope.

The programme introduces United Nations initiatives that encourage greater corporate commitment to society, with particular focus on the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

You will also receive an introduction to the Logical Framework Approach, an objectives-based methodology used for the identification, design, planning, management, and evaluation of development projects, enabling you to formulate projects effectively.
