The bachelor's program in psychology is modularized and consists of 22 modules (including module 20 supplementary subject and module 21 career-oriented internship). The courses of study are oriented towards the fundamentals and fields of application 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. In the further course of study, in-depth modules are located as well as the bachelor thesis at the end of the study. Starting in the 5th semester, a career-oriented internship is planned, which is intended to provide an insight into practical activities.
