Psychology (research)

This research programme will provide you with high-quality training in the methodological and practical skills necessary to carry out scientific research on human behaviour. In this two-year research programme you will gain hands-on experience with how psychological theory can contribute to the analysis and solution of practical problems and how the application of existing theory guides further theoretical development. You will be able to specialise in the psychological subdiscipline of your choice, but you will also be trained in a broad multidisciplinary research approach. The following specialisations are offered in the master's programme: Clinical and Health Psychology; Cognitive Neuroscience; Developmental Psychology; Social and Economic Psychology.
