Admission requirements
Required university degree We require proof of your completion of a relevant Bachelor’s degree in the field of psychology or proof of a comparable domestic or foreign university degree that qualifies the student for a given profession. The Bachelor’s degree, which qualifies the student to enter a given profession, must comprise at least 180 credit points (CP) or a degree programme with a standard period of study of 6 semesters or 3 years, respectively, and must have been completed with an overall grade of at least 3.0 or 7.9 grade points, respectively.
The content and structure of the Bachelor’s degree programme must be based on the “Recommendations of the Board of the German Society for Psychology pertaining to Bachelor’s and Master’s Degree Programmes in Psychology” (“Empfehlungen des Vorstands der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Psychologie zu Bachelor- und Masterstudiengängen in der Psychologie”) in the currently valid version (currently 12.2014).
At least 32 credit points must have been acquired in the discipline of Methodology/Diagnostics and an experimental psychology internship or empirical internship of at least 6 credit points must have been completed.
The Examination Committee may link admission to the condition that additional coursework and/or examinations totalling a maximum of 30 CP be completed. This is possible if – among other reasons – there is a lack of comparability with the recommendations for consecutive Bachelor’s degree programmes of the German Society for Psychology. In such cases, the degree programme may be prolonged accordingly.
