Diploma of Specialization in Physical Activity and Sports Psychology
Access and admission
To access the Diploma of Specialization in Psychology of Physical Activity and Sport, it will be necessary to:
- Hold an official Spanish university degree or another degree issued by a higher education institution belonging to another Member State of the European Higher Education Area, which qualifies the applicant for access to master's degrees.
- Possessing a degree issued by an educational system outside the European Higher Education Area without a recognition resolution or declaration of equivalence. In these cases, the academic administration will submit a preliminary report to the Academic Committee, which will authorize or deny admission. Under no circumstances will this authorization imply recognition of the foreign degree or its recognition for purposes other than pursuing postgraduate studies at the ULL.
Individuals who do not hold a university degree that qualifies them for admission to the Postgraduate Diplomas but can provide documentary evidence of significant and extensive professional experience in the subject matter of the program may be admitted to the Expert Diploma through a professional experience recognition process. The Academic Committee for the Postgraduate Diploma will be responsible for recognizing the professional experience of students and authorizing their admission.
In the case of those who, at the time of enrollment, cannot provide proof of the corresponding admission requirements (for example, they have not yet passed their final degree project), they may request conditional enrollment, which is valid as a standard enrollment. In this case, they will not be entitled to the corresponding certificate or degree until these requirements are met. Failure to obtain the degree will not entitle them to a refund of the tuition fees, taxes, and other fixed costs paid.
The admission process for the Postgraduate Diploma in Psychology of Physical Activity and Sport will be based on applications submitted by interested individuals and processed by the Continuing Education Center. The Center will be responsible for verifying that each applicant meets the admission requirements.
In this Specialization Diploma, 5 % places will be reserved for students with a recognized disability level equal to or greater than 33 %.
In the event of rejection, the student may file a complaint with the Subcommittee on Special Degrees and Microcredentials of the Committee on Special Studies and, in the event of a negative decision, may file an appeal with the Rector of the ULL.
If, after the pre-registration period, there are still vacant places, an extraordinary pre-registration period may be established at the discretion of the Academic Committee for each degree, which will set the deadline it deems appropriate.
