Master's structure

I am interested in the implementation of technology within healthcare. During my Bachelor’s in Health & Technology at Saxion University of Applied Sciences, I realised that such implementations can only be successful if humans can adopt them. That is why I was looking for a master’s to deepen my understanding of human behaviour, and ended up choosing this Master’s with the specialisation in Health Psychology & Technology.

“Personally, I have always had a special interest in the relation between Buddhism and psychology. So in my search for a clinical Master’s in Psychology, I was looking for a different approach to clinical psychology: a positive one, focused on well-being and prevention, instead of just learning about static protocols in mental healthcare. Looking at the courses offered at UT (you even get mindfulness training!), I knew that the specialisation in Positive Clinical Psychology & Technology was the way to go for me.

“Back when I was looking for a bachelor’s, I was already torn between the field of education and the field of psychology. I figured I did not want to stand in front of a class, so I ended up choosing the Bachelor’s in Psychology at UT. Eventually, I found out that I could combine my two main interests in the Master’s in Psychology at UT. I chose the specialisation in Educational Psychology."

“After completing my Bachelor’s in Psychology in Germany, I realised I am very much drawn to the field of risk and crisis psychology. Especially because I feel like, particularly in Germany, there is a world to win when it comes to crisis management. My dream is to work as a psychologist within special forces, like the police or the army. That’s why I chose to do this Master’s with the specialisation in Conflict, Risk & Safety.”

“After my Bachelor’s in Art and Technology at Saxion University of Applied Sciences, I started a career as a motion designer. I realised soon that I was very much drawn to the psychology behind design, so I wanted to gain a deeper understanding of the interaction between technology and humans. After all, technical systems should work for people. That’s why I chose to do the Master’s in Psychology with the specialisation in Human Factors & Engineering Psychology.”
