What it is

The programme covers developmental, cognitive, social and personality psychology, and treats research methodology as a central strand, following the research process from planning to data analysis. You carry out independent mini-research projects in the methodology courses and write a thesis in seminars, and a career socialisation course builds communication skills and professional identity. Graduates can work in areas such as commerce, finance, sport and entertainment, and the degree is a base for a master's in psychology, or in pedagogy and andragogy.

What you need

  • No IB rule: B2 English proof (IB in English counts via a school statement), a motivation letter and an online written entrance test, which mainly decides.
