UNESCO, via its 2015 report "Rethinking Education", and the EU, via its Europe 2020 Strategy, have made a firm commitment to inclusive education.

A commitment that the Government of Catalonia's Ministry for Education has implemented via Law 12/2009 of 10 July that recognises the need to adapt education to cater for the diversity of students and achieve greater equality of opportunity.

Against this backdrop, UIC Barcelona aims to provide crosscutting training to the teachers of the future via the double degree in Primary Education and Psychology. The combination of these two degrees will enable you to understand the aptitudes and attitudes of students and how they behave in the classroom, interact with their environment and learn.

It will also teach you how to support your fellow teachers and external professionals, which will improve the standard of education given and the development and learning of each student.
