Psychology

What makes an individual unique? Why are people prejudiced against the unknown? How do social conflicts arise? Skills in psychology are essential for overcoming social challenges in education, business, and politics. In the psychology program at Leuphana College, you can explore the experiences and behaviors of individuals with a focus on societal and organizational contexts. In the Psychology Major at Leuphana College, you closely engage with and explore the basic subjects of psychology. These include general psychology; biological psychology; differential psychology; developmental psychology; and social psychology. You also acquire skills in empirical research methods and psychological diagnostics, including the preparation and conduct of psychological experiments, data analysis with inferential statistics, and the application of diagnostic tests for individuals. You apply the principles you have learned in the classroom to practical problems and questions. At Leuphana College, the focus is on applications for society in general and for business and organizational contexts. Clinical psychology is therefore not available as a specialization.
