Which of the five specialisations suits you best?
Before the start of your Master’s in Psychology, you will choose a specialisation. This way, by personalising your programme, you get to develop your own expertise. We offer you different kinds of specialisations, some of which you will not easily find elsewhere. Your choice determines which courses you will take and the type of research you will be involved in during your master’s thesis.
The Master’s in Psychology has five specialisations:
Why do people commit crimes or engage in risky behaviour? And how can you resolve conflicts? This specialisation helps you to understand and overcome threats to citizens’ safety.
How do people learn? In this specialisation, you will dive into how our brains process information and why everyone learns in their own way, so you can create education that truly suits everyone.
How can you help people live healthier and cope with (long-term) illness, with the help of for instance a wearable or a robot? In this specialisation, you will explore the connection between health, behaviour, and innovation.
New technologies can be perfectly designed, but if people can’t use them, they’re useless. In this specialisation, you will learn to adapt products and systems to human behaviour.
Want to become a psychologist in mental healthcare? This specialisation teaches you how to enhance mental health and well-being in a digital world,
