Summary

This video is an introductory session for new students of the Psychology degree program at the University of the Republic, Uruguay. The presenters, Luciana Chiabone and Ana Belén Santa Cruz, explain the structure of the curriculum, known as Plan 2013. They define key concepts such as ‘plan de estudios’ (study plan) and ‘malla curricular’ (curriculum grid), and describe the two main axes: vertical cycles and horizontal modules. The cycles are initial (semesters 1-2), integral formation (semesters 3-6), and graduation (semesters 7-8). The modules are psychology, methodological, practices and projects, articulation of knowledge, and referential. They also explain the difference between compulsory and elective courses, and how electives can be taken from other faculties or through mobility programs. The session is interactive, with questions from students, and aims to help students understand the academic path they are beginning.
