This integration of science and practice feeds the teaching approach.Learn to work in a multi/disciplinary wayClinical psychology is always interacting with other disciplines due to the context in which behavioural and health problems arise. Examples are medicine, biology, neurology, pharmacology, economics, sociology and social psychology. This will therefore be a considerable focus of attention. Some lectures will also be taught by (guest) lecturers from diverse disciplinary backgrounds. And finally, you will often work in a multi-disciplinary context during your internship as well. International characterThe Clinical Psychology Master’s programme will mainly be taught in English. It is possible however to follow your seminars in Dutch.
