BA/BS in Applied Psychology

Applied Psychology teaches students to understand human behaviour and apply psychological knowledge to practical problems, including how to assess and influence behaviour. Students are treated as beginning professionals from the first day. Each semester opens with a kickstart week, after which students work in groups on practice-based questions about individuals or groups. Teaching is organised in day-part blocks of live lectures, workshops, practicals and project meetings, with regular peer and teacher feedback. The four-year full-time programme leads to a Bachelor of Science worth 240 ECTS at hbo level. The field is broad, so graduates work in a range of professions.
