Study Level
Undergraduate
Study Mode
On Campus
Students of psychology learn about human experiences and behaviour. Based on empirical research, students attempt to describe, understand and predict human behaviour in all areas of life as well as implications for psychological interventions.
The polyvalent Bachelor’s degree programme in psychology (100% weighting) prepares students to begin a career as a psychologist or psychotherapist. The degree programme initially equips students with basic knowledge of the various branches and applied fields which fall within the broad spectrum of psychology. In addition, students gain understanding of psychological diagnostics, as well as in-depth knowledge of methods used in psychological research. By combining elective course components, students are able to develop their own areas of specialism (this includes specialisation in content required for entry to a Master’s degree programme in clinical psychology and psychotherapy), or they may choose to select course components from across the various branches of psychology.
