Important date

These examination regulations expire on 30.09.2024. The studies should be completed by then.

The Bachelor's program in Psychology is modularized and consists of 21 modules (including 1 non-psychology elective module and the career-oriented internship). The study courses are oriented towards the basic principles and application fields of psychology.

After the introduction to the systematics and methods of psychology as well as the basic subjects, an overview of application fields of psychology is given. Starting in the 4th semester, a career-oriented internship is planned, which is intended to provide an initial introduction to practical activities. In the further course of study, in-depth modules are located as well as the bachelor thesis at the end of the study.

Each of the 21 modules is associated with a certainworkload. 1 credit corresponds to a workload of approx. 30 hours. The entire Bachelor's program comprises 180 credits.
Active participation in the courses as (ungraded) study performance is just as relevant for passing the module as the (graded) examination performances. Examination performances are usually taken in the form of written examinations, term papers or oral examinations. Ungraded course achievements are e.g.: Preparation of protocols, presentations, seminar designs.
