Canary Islands Approves New Bachelorās Degree in Psychology
Overview
The Canary Islands government has officially authorized the launch of a new Bachelorās degree in Psychology at the Technological University of the Canary Islands.
This decision follows a thorough process that included positive reviews from the regional University Quality Agency and adherence to national and regional educational regulations.
Context and Framework
The approval aligns with Spainās broader higher education framework, which structures university studies into three cycles:
- undergraduate
- master's
- doctoral programs
The new Psychology degree aims to provide students with a solid, generalist foundation in the field, helping meet local educational needs without generating additional costs for the regional government.
Approval Process
The university's proposal was unanimously approved in May 2025, after passing a comprehensive review process that assured the programās academic and social viability.
This ensures the program meets the quality standards required for official recognition.
Student Transition and Implementation
- Students currently enrolled in previous programs will have pathways to transfer into the new degree, allowing a smooth transition.
The new degreeās implementation is now contingent on the final verification of its curriculum by national authorities.
Significance and Future Outlook
This move not only enhances higher education options within the Canary Islands but also reinforces the regionās commitment to expanding its university offerings as part of its autonomy and educational strategy.
