Human behavior is full of puzzles that want to be cracked. Why do we do what we do? How does thinking influence our feelings? And how does this play into our actions? At our university, we get to the bottom of all these questions in the Psychology degree program and explain to you what is important.

What is psychology about?

Psychology is the scientific study and analysis of human behavior and experience. It examines the processes of perception, thinking, emotions, motivation and interpersonal relationships. Sounds dry and boring? It is not at all at our university! Because psychology …:

  • analyzes how people perceive and interpret their environment.
  • deals with thought processes, including problem solving, memory, decision making and language.
  • researches the emergence, forms of expression and regulation of emotions.
  • examines what drives and motivates people, be it through inner needs or external incentives.
  • deals with the interaction between people and the influences of social environments.
  • deals with the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mental disorders and problems.
  • analyzes the behavior of people in the workplace and in organizations in order to promote efficiency and satisfaction.
