As an empirical science, psychology uses scientific methods to investigate general regularities in cognitive structures and behavioural processes. This allows for the explanation and prediction of human experience and behaviour. On this basis, suggestions can then be made for a change in behaviour in a wide variety of practical fields. Completion of the Bachelor’s programme entitles students to enrol in the Master’s programme in Psychology with a main focus on Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy (starts in the Winter Semester 2022/23) if they choose the respective area of specialisation. It also entitles to enrol in any general Master’s degree in psychology.
While studying psychology, you will acquire basic qualifications based on scientific methods and gain an insight into practical work through work placements. Our mentoring programmes offer intensive support and advice, enabling you to study quickly and focus on starting your career in the best possible way. To prepare for the Master’s degree in Psychology with a main focus on Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy, you can choose the necessary modules.
Upon completion of this degree programme at TU Braunschweig you will be ready to work in the following fields in particular:
psychological psychotherapy (after successful completion of a corresponding Master’s degree)
