MA/MS in Psychology

In Nijmegen, a range of specialisations are possible in the master's programme in psychology. Find your track within Work, Organisation and Health; Gezondheidspsychologie (in Dutch) or Behaviour Change.

The Master's in Psychology is a one-year programme. There are three different Master's specialisations; 'Work, Organisation and Health', 'Gezondheidspsychologie (in Dutch)' and 'Behaviour Change'. The master consists of approximately 50% theoretical subjects and skills training and 50% internship and master's thesis. During the internship, you practice professional skills and conduct empirical research. The master's thesis is the report of this research, in which you further elaborate the results of this research and link it to the theoretical knowledge acquired. The internship is external, for example at a company or hospital. After completing the master's phase, you will be an academically trained psychologist who acts on the basis of scientifically acquired knowledge and can contribute to increasing this knowledge.
