The discipline of psychology studies the causes and effects of human behaviour and uses this knowledge to provide aid workers and counsellors with helpful insights. The Master’s programme results in the professional title of psychologist. The main subjects each have their own structure and finality, but all of them have made sufficient room in the curriculum for a work placement.

What will you study?

The Theoretical and Experimental Psychology main subject is our research track par excellence. We study theories on and the functioning of human cognition (e.g. language acquisition, memory, cognitive control, numerical control, ...). In so doing, we focus on the mental processes and behaviour as well as their biological basis. You will learn how to independently plan, carry out and assess valid and theory-driven research, which can be relevant for scientific as well as practical questions. In addition, you will come to understand how neuroscience looks for connections between cognitive processes and behaviour on the one hand, and brain activation and areas of the brain where that activation is located, on the other.
