Course of study
At the beginning of your studies, you will learn the basics of psychological thinking and empirical-scientific work. You will be introduced to quantitative research methods in the statistics modules I and II, which will enable you to analyze psychological data. In the research-oriented practical course and the modules on diagnostic procedures, you will develop your ability to apply psychological tests and procedures.
In the area of general psychology, you will deal with the fundamental topics of perception, cognition and motivation, while the modules on developmental psychology, differential and personality psychology and social psychology will cover specific areas of psychological development and social interaction.
In addition, you have the opportunity to specialize in various application fields of psychology: Clinical psychology, communication and media psychology, educational psychology and business psychology offer exciting choices for future careers or further study. The Bachelor's thesis and the work-related internship allow you to apply your knowledge in practice and gain an initial insight into professional fields of activity.
