A central aim of the degree course is to create the conditions for independent and autonomous work in the professional fields of psychology. Transfer competences are acquired for the connection of scientific knowledge with practical action. Students acquire in-depth scientific and methodological expertise and skills in various practical fields. The degree course prepares students for independent professional practice in important areas of psychology, such as scientific research and teaching in the fundamental and applied fields, occupational, organisational and business psychology, diagnostics, neuropsychology, cognitive science, and paediatric and adolescent psychology. The Master's examination constitutes a second professional qualification in Psychology, which is particularly suitable for independent work in applied and scientific fields of activity.
