Where students do not fulfil this requirement, they must do the necessary bridging courses to guarantee the 90 educational credits in health psychology (bridging courses can be found in this link). This course will include at least 100 hours (or its equivalent in European credits) of practical experience in the area of health.

Spanish national holders of an undergraduate degree in accordance with the new academic regulations of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) are EXEMPT from the requirement to provide accreditation for these documents, as all reports of Bachelor's degrees in Psychology at national level have this accreditation, whether or not they appears in the academic certification submitted for admission.
