This Master's degree program complies with the requirements of the new Psychotherapists Act (PsychThG) and the Licensing Regulations for Psychotherapists (PsychThApprO) of 2020.
In accordance with Section 9 (4) sentence 5 of the Psychotherapists Act (PsychThG) and the subject examination regulations of 15.07.2020, admission to the Master's degree program requires either
- a Bachelor's degree for which compliance with the professional requirements has been established or
- an equivalent degree whose learning outcomes meet the requirements of the PsychThG and the licensing regulations for psychotherapists (PsychThApprO).
In principle, only study and examination achievements (including practical work experience) that have been completed within the degree program can be taken into account when assessing equivalence. The study and examination regulations, module handbook, transcript of records and degree certificate are decisive for this. Achievements that were completed during the course of study but are not part of the curriculum are not part of the prescribed course of study in accordance with § 9 PsychThG and cannot be taken into account in the examination.
Notwithstanding this, study and examination achievements that were completed outside the degree program can be taken into account as an exception if the degree program was started by the winter semester 2020/2021 at the latest and the achievements were completed during the degree program at the same university.
