Bachelor's Program

The Bachelor's program in Psychology provides students with a basic scientific education in the central areas of psychology, of which 'Social and Economic Psychology' is a central component. This addresses decision-making processes and social influence in political, social and economic structures.

This knowledge is acquired during the bachelor's program by means of lectures and seminars. A central part of the bachelor's program is the empirical project seminar, in which students learn how to work scientifically, as well as the bachelor's thesis, in which students independently realize a scientific work.

Master's Program

In the Master's program in Social, Economic and Decision Psychology, the fundamentals of social psychology, decision research and cognitive psychology are studied in depth and their significance for human behaviour in an economic context is examined. We deal with fundamental mechanisms and processes that have an impact on people's perception, judgment, decisions and behavior.

The Master's program is designed as a full-time study of two years. While the first two semesters are dominated by participation in seminars and the master's project, students start planning their master's thesis in the third semester and complete it in the fourth semester. The program is concluded with a master's exam. The successful participants of the program receive the Master of Science in Psychology.

Doctoral Program

The aim of this program is to prepare doctoral students in the fields of social, economic and decision-making psychology in the best possible way for a successful scientific career. Central to this are optimal supervision and support on the way to the dissertation and training in terms of professional, methodological and interdisciplinary skills, for example teaching or project management. The program has a modular structure and allows for customized support of the participants.
