objectives

The major aim of the Clinical Psychology master specialisation is to provide students with a theoretical background and basic skills for clinical psychology research, assessment and interventions.

The specialisation focuses on the acquisition of knowledge and skills relevant to the assessment, diagnosis and treatment of psychopathology. Students acquire advanced research skills by participating in a clinical psychology research project.

study abroad

Psychology students can study abroad for a semester. So, if your heart is set on studying at partner universities in Boston, Sydney, Sao Paulo, Florence or Oslo, go ahead; it will give you another unique and unforgettable experience! You won't be able to finish your master in a year though.

You will come into contact with other students and teachers, more cultures and increase your language skills and become a truly global citizen. It also improves your chances on the jobmarket. Leiden University has many exchange programmes with foreign universities in which important matters such as tuition fees, supervision and recognition of credits are already taken care of. This saves you time and money.

honours-/excellence program Leiden Leadership Programme

The Leiden Leadership Programme (LLP) is an honours programme of 15 ECs on top of the regular master's curriculum. The programme consists of training courses, seminars and a practical assignment.

Are you looking for an extra challenge in addition to your Leiden master's programme? Are you adventurous enough to look beyond the borders of your own master's programme? The Leiden Leadership Programme may be just what you are looking for. The programme gives you the opportunity to develop your leadership skills. You will follow seminars and courses, as well as carrying out a practical assignment for a company or organisation as part of a small, multidisciplinary team. Your lecturers will be leading academics and experienced professionals from the business sector.

Students can apply who have:

Good study results in the bachelor's programme;
The ambition and motivation to develop leadership qualities;
A broad and interdisciplinary span of interest.

studievereniging

Labyrint

Labyrint is dé studievereniging voor psychologiestudenten in Leiden. De vereniging is na een fusie opgericht op 30 juni 1994 en heeft op het moment bijna 4000 leden. Naast het organiseren van studiegerelateerde activiteiten, is Labyrint er ook om het contact tussen de studenten te bevorderen.
Bovendien verkoopt Labyrint de studieboeken voor alle jaren van de studie psychologie. Als lid van Labyrint kun je zowel deelnemen aan de studiegerelateerde activiteiten, als aan de sociaalgerichte activiteiten.

Een goed voorbeeld daarvan is het eerstejaarsweekend, dat elk jaar in september rond een bepaald thema georganiseerd wordt. Dit weekend is voor de eerstejaars de ideale gelegenheid om medestudenten te leren kennen. Ouderejaars kunnen mee als begeleiding. De mensen die je tijdens dit weekend ontmoet, kun je terugzien op de Labyrintactiviteiten, waar je natuurlijk ook andere leden tegenkomt.

Daarnaast zijn er regelmatig goedbezochte themafeesten, waarop ook niet-psychologiestudenten welkom zijn. Tevens organiseert Labyrint een allejaarsweekend, een leuk weekend in binnen- of buitenland waar leden vanuit alle studiejaren aan deel kunnen nemen. Het is de ultieme gelegenheid om medestudenten van verschillende studiejaren te leren kennen. Ook is er elk jaar een reis van een week naar een buitenlandse bestemming, waar je zowel studiegerelateerde dingen doet als sociaalgerelateerde, culture en sportieve activiteiten.

Testimonial Kurdistan Aziz, MSc

“The experiences in my master's taught me to develop trust in myself and my own insights in my profession.”

“I work at i-psy, an intercultural psychiatric institution. Consulting a psychologist is generally a greater step for immigrants to a foreign country than for the native population. Here, we make it just that bit easier for everyone by treating them in their own language...

In the practical courses, I learned to combine this with my own insights in relation to clients. During the program, I regularly came up against a number of my own obstacles, and learned to deal with those. This experience taught me to develop trust in myself and my own insights in my profession. Considerable attention was focused on this during my Master's programme.”
