This is how we make a difference

The Applied Psychology program has approximately 1,250 students and about 65 dedicated staff members, most of whom are university-trained psychologists. The team is energetic and passionate, and the atmosphere is positive. Through internships in every year of the program and practical assignments, students are actively engaged with society.

The Applied Psychology program works closely with the “Psychology for a Sustainable City” research group and with the professional master’s program in “Climate Psychology and Behavior.” There is a strong focus on integrating social issues and real-world practice into the curriculum, with topics such as sustainable behavior and employability, healthy behavior and lifestyle, mental health of young people, diversity and inclusion, and digitalization recurring across many areas.
