These examination regulations expire on 30.09.2024. You should have completed your studies by then.

The Bachelor's degree program in Psychology is modularized and consists of 21 modules (including 1 non-psychological compulsory elective module and the 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. From the 4th semester onwards, a career-oriented internship is planned, which is intended to provide an initial introduction to practical activities. The rest of the course includes in-depth modules and the Bachelor's thesis at the end of the course.

Each of the 21 modules is associated with a certain amount ofwork (workload). 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) coursework is just as relevant for passing the module as the (graded) examinations. Examinations usually take the form of written examinations, term papers or oral examinations. Ungraded coursework includes, for example Preparation of minutes, presentations, seminar presentations.
