What will you learn?
The doctoral program in psychology prepares researchers and scholars in the field of psychology, focusing on social, developmental, clinical, general, educational, and occupational psychology. The emphasis is on deepening theoretical knowledge in these psychological disciplines that can be used in scientific research and in solving problems of professional practice. Students will learn the latest theoretical approaches, acquire a critical perspective on theoretical concepts and empirical research, and become familiar with methods of data analysis of both a quantitative and qualitative nature. They will develop the skills and abilities necessary for independent scientific psychological reflection and at the same time the ability for team research collaboration, whether disciplinary or interdisciplinary.
“Psychological research as a way to understanding.”
Practical training
During one's studies, it is compulsory to complete a three-month-long stay at an academic institution or at an institution concerned with applied research abroad. Another required work experience is partaking in teaching psychology students and in research projects at the Department and other academic institutions
