Special features regarding teaching in the bachelor's degree programme
The aim of the Bachelor's degree programme is to provide students with a broad and well-founded overview of the subject of psychology, to familiarise them with and enable them to critically assess current research topics, and to teach them the academic skills required to write papers. In advanced studies, the focus is then on the application subjects. The academic and methodological focus provides students with a broad spectrum of methodological knowledge, as well as techniques of academic work and good academic practice.
Special features regarding the international orientation
HMU offers interested students the opportunity to study abroad for one semester. The International Office offers information events about the partner universities, financial and organisational issues, and preparatory language courses.
Special features regarding the equipment
Psychology students have access to fully equipped research laboratories at HMU, which can be used to carry out scientific studies, including as part of their degree course. Students have access to a reference library with several thousand books. The entire e-book stock of the HMU comprises approximately 13,000 titles in our e-book platform "MiliBib".
Special features regarding research activities
The profile of HMU is characterised by a consistently interdisciplinary and interprofessional approach to teaching, research and scientific continuing education. Under the umbrella of interdisciplinary health research, we understand research as a collaboration between health economists, psychologists, lawyers, educators, medical professionals, social scientists, health and natural scientists and other related disciplines, enabling an integrative perspective on the topic of health and medicine.
