Psychology: Health and Medical Psychology

The one-year programme distinguishes itself by the fact that the teaching is not restricted to the functioning of psychological processes. Within a scientist-practitioner model insights are always connected to their behavioural consequences. The aim is that you learn to understand self-regulation and behavioural control. This specialisation will provide advanced training including skills relevant to health promotion and disease prevention. Furthermore, you learn to apply the intervention methods to the well-being of the physically ill and the self-management of chronic diseases.
