What can the Master offer you?
The Official Master's Degree in Social Work in the Health Sector at Universidad Pontificia Comillas aims to train social workers with specialized education that enhances the biopsychosocial perspective of health. Currently, the profound changes and specialization of social work services in the healthcare field require specific knowledge to advance the excellence of professional practice, integrating healthcare and social aspects through a direct intervention logic with citizens.

Professional internships will take place in the morning and/or afternoon, once all theoretical classes have concluded in May or July. We offer a faculty of professors who are references in their professional fields, providing a multidisciplinary perspective on training and intervention in health.
