This official Joint Master’s programme is of a qualifying nature. It aims, on the one hand, to cover the current legislative need to pursue the Master’s degree in General Health Psychology to be able to practise the profession of psychologist in the health sector and, on the other, to complement this recognition with a specialisation in Neuropsychology, which is currently a booming field in the world of psychology.
Therefore, after completing this programme you will be able to:
- Consultations
- Examination Centres
- Detoxification Centres
- Patients’ Associations
- etc.
It is the prerequisite for opening a psychology centre.
Neuropsychology is a science applied to the study of the relationship between brain and behaviour. The practice of Clinical Neuropsychology requires specific technical postgraduate training and supervised practice of excellence. Clinical Neuropsychology has developed to such an extent in our country that the demand for professionals with this degree is increasing.

The University of Deusto has amply demonstrated its commitment to Neuropsychology training since the early 1990s. In 1999, the Bachelor's degree in Psychology incorporated a pathway with 9 subjects directly related to this area, which is one of the most popular among students.
In addition, between 2010/11 and 2014/15 the University of Deusto offered specific training in the field of Neuropsychology through the Expert in Neuropsychology.

Since 2015/16 , the University of Deusto has been offering the Master's Degree in Clinical Neuropsychology (the syllabus has been verified by the Council of Universities, following a positive report from the National Agency for Quality Assessment and Accreditation, and the degree has been declared official by the Council of Ministers' Agreement of 17 April 2015).

The two master's degrees have always been connected throughout the Faculty’s history before the joint programme was launched. Proof of this is that the Master's degree in Mental Health and Psychological Therapies, replaced in the 2014/15 academic year by the Master's degree in General Health Psychology, already included theoretical and practical modules taught by specialists in the field of gerontology.
