Study programme

In this Master's track you will be trained as a trainer who is broadly employable.

In the internship you’ll learn how to apply the theory in practice.

    You will supervise the 4-week course ‘Practical Training Psychological Communication’ for second-year students twice, where the focus is on both professional and personal conversation. You are responsible for the preparation, the lessons, the communication with the participants and the evaluation
