This comprehensive program includes 20 modules, a practical internship, and a bachelor's thesis, designed to provide you with a strong foundation in psychological understanding and allow you to tailor your studies to your career aspirations.

The curriculum is designed to integrate theoretical knowledge with practical application and prepare students for further academic study or direct entry into various professional fields.
This Bachelor of Science in Psychology provides a broad, application-oriented foundation preparing you for diverse career paths in clinical psychology, work and organizational psychology, health promotion, and education. You will develop practical competencies through research methods, psychological diagnostics, and specialized electives, enhanced by an internship that bridges theory and practice. The degree also serves as an academic foundation for consecutive Master's programs.
