What makes an individual unique? Why are people prejudiced about the unknown? How do social conflicts arise? Skills in psychology are essential for overcoming social challenges in education, business, and politics. In the psychology programme at Leuphana College, you will explore the experiences and behaviours of individuals with a focus on societal and organisational contexts.
In the Psychology Major at Leuphana College, you closely engage with and explore the basic subjects of psychology. These include general psychology, biological psychology, differential psychology, developmental psychology, and social psychology.
You will also acquire skills in empirical research methods and psychological diagnostics, including the preparation and conduct of psychological experiments, data analysis with inferential statistics, and the application of diagnostic tests for individuals.
