The Bachelor degree programme Applied Psychology comprises a programme of 240 ECTS credits (a first-year programme of 60 ECTS credits and a main phase programme of 180 ECTS credits).
The degree programme comprises a Major and a Minor. The Major is composed of compulsory and elective units. The Minor may be chosen by the student and allows him or her to specialise in a chosen field or to broaden his/her generic or subject-specific knowledge and skills. The degree programme is practice-orientated: a work placement / work placements (30 ECTS credits) and other practical components, in addition to a thesis project (30 ECTS credits), form an essential and compulsory part of this degree programme.
The graduate is able, on the basis of arguments from the social sciences, to set up practical interventions for intrapersonal and interpersonal problems. The applied psychologist does so using psychological theories, methods and techniques. The actions of an applied psychologist are always accompanied by professional reflection and effectiveness of action.
