Exchange Programme

Applied Psychology

You're fascinated by human behaviour and have a cool head and a warm heart

Those who enrol in the Applied Psychology programme choose to work with people; people who feel lost in life, in their families or in their jobs and could use guidance. They need someone who can support and guide them with warmth, attention and care. They also need someone who can keep a cool head; someone who uses the scientific expertise of psychology as their compass to help people get back on track.

We will train you to become a psychological consultant. You will learn how to identify problems and how to coach, counsel, train and advise, both preventively and proactively. You will combine field-specific knowledge with the skills of a modern professional: reflecting critically, giving and receiving feedback, embracing diversity, collaborating with others, gathering information and assessing scientific standards.
