The Bachelor's degree course in Psychology is modularized and consists of 22 modules (including Module 20 Supplementary Subject and Module 21 Career-Oriented Internship). The courses are based on the fundamentals and fields of application of psychology.
After an introduction to the systematics and methods of psychology and the basic subjects, an overview of the fields of application of psychology is provided. In-depth modules are included in the further course of study, as well as the Bachelor's thesis at the end of the program. From the 5th semester onwards, a career-oriented internship is planned to provide an insight into practical activities.
