The Faculty of Psychology offers a Bachelor degree programme in psychology in English. This six-semester (three year) study programme lays the groundwork for studying Psychology. Graduates will be awarded a “Bachelor of Science (BSc.)”.
Individual courses are interconnected more strongly than in traditional Psychology Bachelor Programmes. These links are both vertical and horizontal, i.e., among the courses of each semester. Four academic training tracks structure the six semesters:
__Theory
__Scientific methods and basic skills
__Foundations for inter and transdisciplinary research
__Psychological skills
Most courses within these tracks are consecutive. Furthermore, individual courses are also linked “horizontally” across tracks. These cross connections between courses allow students to connect theory and practice and to experientially compare different paradigms, as each semester offers different paradigmatic perspectives on the same phenomenon.
