objectives
The objective of the master's programme in Psychology is to equip students with advanced training in research methods and professional skills that prepare them both for a career involving psychological research as well as for the application of scientific knowledge and methods in various professional settings.
Training is provided in all relevant skills, including reviewing the relevant literature, applying theoretical knowledge to analyse practical problems, developing hypotheses and writing research proposals, designing and carrying out empirical studies, designing and evaluating the effectiveness of interventions, conducting advanced statistical analyses, and presenting results and recommendations.
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.
