"Creating positive societal impact” is the motto that guides education and research at Erasmus University Rotterdam. Psychologists play an important role in achieving United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). SDG #3 “good health and well-being” easily comes to mind. However, psychologists can also contribute to, for example, high quality education (SDG #4) decent work (SDG #8) and reducing inequalities (SDG # 5 and 10).

With one eye on knowledge development and the other on application, we teach a wide range of psychology subjects connected to contemporary societal issues. These include basic topics such as perception and cognition, human learning, motivation, addiction, and mental health challenges. In addition, we teach important skills such as critical thinking, collaboration and self-reflection in our practicals and courses such as cross-cultural psychology.
