Description

How can we encourage healthy behaviour or prevent criminal activity? How do people process information? And what makes people trust innovations like robots in healthcare or self-driving cars? For many of today’s challenges in society, understanding human thinking and behaviour is essential. In this Master’s, you will explore various psychological perspectives to understand and influence behaviour. You will learn how to combine theory and hands-on practice to tackle complex issues – both now and in the future. You will choose a focus in one of five unique specialisations and develop your own expertise in areas such as clinical, health or educational psychology, (social) safety or human factors. One specialisation prepares you to become a psychologist, while another paves the way for a role as adviser, policy maker or researcher – in government, healthcare, education, industry or the commercial sector.
