MA/MS in School Psychology

This two-year programme prepares school psychologists able to carry out evaluative and scientific research and provide psychological assistance to participants in the education process, following ethical and legal standards. It builds the ability to systematise the latest findings on pupils' personality and cognitive development, the influence of family systems, and signs of addiction and psychopathology, critically assess models of a school psychologist's work, and use assessment data to analyse alternative solutions for psychological correction at individual, group and system level. Teaching is student-oriented, built on independent work and problem-solving through lectures, seminars, practicums, team and group work, case analysis and role-playing, with some subjects taught in English and additional subjects available from other study areas, developing skills to plan prevention and correction programmes for academic skills and well-being, assess individual differences and special educational needs, and design psychological-education methods for schools in cooperation with parents and educators.
