Psychology: Child and Adolescent Psychology

The programme is taught through lectures, seminars, research projects and your thesis. During the courses you will also need to locate young people with whom you can work in order to fulfill requirements for the practically-oriented courses. Our staff will provide tips as to how this can be done.

We offer a very diverse programme that takes you through all the indispensable elements of Child and Adolescent Psychology. Students will be expert in both the normal development of children and adolescents, and in the psychological problems that may arise. In pursuing this mission, we focus on the following:

* Building students' knowledge and skills, as well as a professional and scientific attitude, based on a strong theoretical background and real-life practice.
* Fostering student's understanding of the transactions between young people, the systems around them, and the helping professional.
* Helping students stay informed about new developments in the field.
* Responding to each student's needs by providing diverse solutions for academic and practical challenges, via individual mentoring.
* Ensuring that students wishing to enter the Mental Health (GZ) or School Psychologist post-Master's programs are eligible.
