The Master Programme in Psychology is designed to provide a rigorous scientific education that equips students with the necessary skills and knowledge for professional practice in the field. The curriculum comprises a core study programme and a selection of concentrations. These include the German-language programme in Social Psychology and Clinical Psychology, and the English-language programme in Clinical Psychology & Public Mental Health.

Amidst the ongoing exacerbation of ecological crises, social and political discord, and the accelerating pace of technological advancements, the prevalence of mental distress necessitates the implementation of contextually-oriented interventions that bridge the social and psychological realms. In all three of these areas – policy, practice and research – there is an urgent need for graduates who do not simply deploy psychological tools and techniques, but who are equipped to think and act in context to transform conditions of injustice and inequality.

In this emphasis of the master's programme, students learn to think critically about concepts of health and well-being, to sensitively contextualize approaches, to strengthen local practices and community resources, and to develop responsive and responsible lines of research. The emphasis proffers a psychosocial foundation to clinical and health psychologies that is both historically and culturally situated, thereby enabling students to meaningfully link theory, research, practice, and policy in their future careers.
