In a context where under-diagnosis affects more than 15 per cent of the potential student population, the need for specialists in giftedness has become an educational priority. This master’s degree programme offers you a holistic and comprehensive approach that covers the entire process: from early identification to the design of curricular enrichment programmes and the emotional support of pupils and their families.
You will learn to use proven diagnostic tools, apply creative and problem-solving techniques, and master current regulations in order to recommend measures such as acceleration. To this end, you will work with cutting-edge, active methodologies designed specifically for gifted pupils:
You will also discover key technological tools that will help you personalise teaching in a simple and practical way: interactive video to create lessons with questions, virtual environments to design personalised learning pathways, visual mind maps to organise ideas, educational robotics to foster creativity, and the use of artificial intelligence as a classroom aid.
With a strongly practical and career-focused approach, and a teaching staff with proven international research experience, you’ll graduate equipped to lead innovation projects in schools, careers guidance departments and talent development programmes, taking up a role in a rapidly expanding professional field.
The programme will equip you with the skills to intervene successfully at every stage of the educational process for gifted pupils.
