Psychology

Psychology is a challenging master's programme that prepares students for a professional career in one of the emerging fields of biological and cognitive psychology. The programme is research-driven and offers six specialisations : * Developmental Psychology * Cognitive Neuroscience * Neuropsychology * Health and Social Psychology * Psychology and Law * Work and Organisational Psychology. Each specialisation starts with four theoretical courses combined with academic, research and professional skills trainings. The second part of the year is devoted to planning and carrying out a research internship under the supervision of the academic staff. A substantial number of students do this internship abroad with one of our many international research partners. You complete the master's programme by writing a master's thesis on your research internship.
