Official qualification
Be part of the educational transformation. Specialise in identifying, accompanying and developing the talent of students with high abilities, responding to a growing social need and becoming a key professional for a more inclusive and personalised education.
All fields are required
In a context where underdiagnosis exceeds 15% of potential students, the need for specialists in high abilities has become an educational priority. This university master's degree offers a holistic and comprehensive vision that covers the entire process: from early identification to the design of curricular enrichment programmes and the emotional support of students and their families.
You will learn to use proven diagnostic tools, to apply creative and problem-solving techniques, and to master the current regulations in order to recommend measures such as acceleration. To do this, you will work with cutting-edge active methodologies designed specifically for students with high abilities:
And you will learn about key technological tools that will help you to personalise teaching in a simple and practical way: interactive video to create lessons with questions, virtual environments to design personalised itineraries, visual thinking maps to organise ideas, educational robotics to encourage creativity, or the use of artificial intelligence as a support in the classroom.
With an eminently practical and professionalising approach, and a faculty with proven international research experience, you will be able to lead innovation projects in educational centres, guidance departments and talent development programmes, occupying a professional space in full expansion.
The programme will equip you with the skills to successfully intervene in all phases of the educational process of students with high abilities.
