Learning Structure
The programme comprises 120 credits including a degree project of 30 credits.
- Semester 1: During this semester, the students focus on the basic theory and practice of science and advanced research methods in psychology, which constitutes an important step towards being able to independently engage in knowledge advancement within the field.
- Semester 2: Here, the students choose specialisations in the field of psychology, by choosing three out of five advanced specialisation lines in the main areas of psychology, which enables the students to customise the programme as far as possible according to their own interests. The students' ability to influence the content of the programme is given high priority, while the programme organiser also ensures that none of the lines have so many/few participants that they cannot be conducted in a suitable way. In parallel with the specialisation courses, the students also develop their methodological knowledge and scholarly skills in the Specialised Topics course, which is compulsory for all students. The course aims to provide specialised skills in current research areas of psychology and is based on a number of components which involve training in advanced research skills in a selection of specific focus areas. This further develops the students' ability to independently engage in knowledge development within the field. All these courses, including Specialised Topics, run in parallel at 25% of full-time.
- Semester 3: The students gain specialised knowledge in the three areas that were chosen during the previous semester. All these courses run in parallel. At the end of the second half of the semester, empirical work under supervision is conducted in which the students integrate their previous theoretical and methodological knowledge. The work prepares students for the degree project in semester 4.
- Semester 4: The students complete their programme by carrying out an empirical study in the field of psychology and writing a degree project.
