In both the first block and the second block of Semester 1, you will follow two courses with an emphasis on the acquisition and application of theoretical knowledge on one hand and the acquisition and practice of skills on the other hand. Each course combines weekly theoretical lectures with hands-on tutorials.

Starting in January, the remainder of Semester 1 and the whole of Semester 2 are dedicated to the master thesis and internship. Here, you demonstrate your ability to apply the theoretical knowledge and skills you acquired during the compulsory courses.

The Cultural Psychology Master’s programme has a strong international orientation. Our staff members have an extensive international network and cooperate with researchers across the world. You may make use of this network and follow a course or conduct research abroad (e.g., for your thesis or internship), for example at our partner university in Ghana.  

In order to provide you with first-hand intercultural experiences, you have the opportunity to join the annual study trip organised by the student fraction and get to know a non-Western culture such as Ghana.
