“My education in psychology gave me a deep understanding of people and their behavior, which is essential in any professional setting. That foundation has been key to launching and leading projects while always putting people first.”

María de San Simón de Palacios

Founder/Chief Executive Officer/IT Consultant at Searchit

“Since I started practicing, I have treated more than 100 people. Thanks to UFV, I realize that my effort, dedication, and training would have been completely worth it even if I had only been able to help one person.”

Macarena Galván Muñóz

Psychotherapist at Crisam Psicólogos

Macarena Galvan Muñoz_OPTIMUS Study Psychology in Madrid ▷ Bachelor's Degree Psychology Study at the Universidad Privada Madrid

“I chose to study psychology at Francisco de Vitoria University because of its holistic approach to the individual, which is evident in both the undergraduate program and the professional master’s degree in General Health Psychology, as well as in the Certificate Program in Systemic Intervention. This educational framework has allowed me to develop an understanding of others as unique beings—intrinsically valuable and essentially one-of-a-kind—while always taking into account the biological, psychological, social, and spiritual dimensions of each patient.”

Teresa Aymerich Tamayo

Clinical and Educational Psychologist and Expert in Systemic Therapy

“Over the years, I have come to realize that psychology is not just an academic discipline, but a way to better understand human beings and their dignity. The professors in the undergraduate program are a model of commitment to the individual. Thanks to them, we learn to view others with respect, depth, and humanity—something essential to our future work as psychologists. Studying psychology at UFV means receiving professional training, but it also means growing as a person. It means discovering that accompanying human beings in their reality and in their suffering requires not only knowledge but also a truly human perspective.”
