Programme

From the Academic year 2008/2009 Psychology in English follows the path of general psychology to give students a possibility to create their own plan of studies (by choosing from many elective classes) and to gain wide psychological knowledge without forcing them to choose one concrete specialization.

As you can see in a table below - 27 electives give students the opportunity to gain knowledge in various areas in psychology. Thanks to such large number of electives your course of studies depends more on your choice. You can try various aspects of psychology, or choose electives relating to the area you are mostly interested in.

At the 4th and 5th year you can choose specialization modules such as: Marketing and Advertising, Training and Development and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy.
