The department introduces itself

Welcome to the Institute of Psychology at the University of Kassel!

We look forward to welcoming you as a student.

In the week of October 13, the introduction to your studies will take place. We will give you an overview of the program, an introduction to the technology and the library and, of course, the opportunity to get to know us and your fellow students. For example, we will help you to register for the courses, so you don't have to do this yourself in advance. So it's worth being there! See you soon!
