Universidad Católica San Antonio

What you'll study

Course content centres on the education and comprehensive development of young children, teacher strategies for early years, and the organisation of learning environments that promote exploration and creativity. The university recognises and convalidates credits from relevant FP Superior qualifications; for example, holders of the Educación Infantil FP Superior can have up to 60 ECTS recognised, and there are specific recognition tables for other related FP qualifications.

Entry requirements

Students holding an FP Superior (título de Formación Profesional de grado superior) can access this degree without sitting the PAU/selectividad. UCAM offers a free prior study of credit recognition to determine which FP credits transfer to the Grado. There is also a bridge option (TSU) specifically designed for FP graduates to increase credited ECTS before matriculation.

Career prospects

Graduates are prepared to work in early childhood education settings such as centros educativos, guarderías and early-years projects in both the public and private sectors. The degree combines university-level pedagogy with vocational training recognition to provide an advantage in the labour market for roles focused on cognitive, social and emotional development in young children.

Scholarships & funding angle

While the source does not list specific scholarships, prospective students are advised to enquire with the university about financial aid and to request the free study of recognition of credits (estudio previo) which can shorten time to degree and reduce tuition cost by convalidating prior FP studies.
