Specialisations | Psychology

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:

Conflict, Risk & Safety
Why do people commit crimes? How do civilians perceive and estimate risks of, for example, flooding, fire or a disease? What is the best way to deal with social conflicts and safety incidents? And how can technology contribute to this? The specialisation in Conflict, Risk & Safety teaches you all about threats to citizens’ physical, psychological, and social safety and will help you to develop interventions to counter these.
