The master's degree is oriented towards the acquisition of advanced, specialized and multidisciplinary training in Educational Sciences, emphasizing cultural diversity and development processes in educational terms.

Curriculum
Credits that the student must take to obtain the degree:
- Mandatory 24
- Electives 21
- Master's Final Project 15
- Total 60
The study plan is structured into six modules, within which the different subjects that comprise it are grouped. The Master is taught in a single academic year:
- In the first semester, all the mandatory credits are taken because they are fundamental, as well as the Electives of modules II and III, because they are more generic.
- The master's thesis is carried out during the second semester. As well as the optional subjects of the Optional modules IV and V, as they are the most specific. This distribution tries to combine fundamental contents and general Electives, therefore, it is more focused on teaching in the first semester, while the second will focus on the master's final project with more specific Elective contents
Teaching is fundamentally face-to-face, although students have the possibility of taking 12 credits semi-face-to-face, and 3 virtually.
The languages used in teaching will preferably be Galician and Spanish.
Program Outcome
- Facilitate advanced training, of a specialized and multidisciplinary nature, in Educational Sciences, placing emphasis on cultural diversity and educational development processes.
- Promote the initiation of students into research tasks, enabling, if the requirements are met, access to the Doctorate Program in Education, which culminates with the completion and defense of a doctoral thesis.
