About the Program
Psychology is the science of human behavior and experience. The aim is to provide an appropriate description and theoretical conceptualization of the subject matter. In terms of its research methods, scientific psychology is based on elements of the humanities, social sciences and, in particular, the natural sciences. Psychologists use empirical (often experimental) studies to test (usually theoretically derived) hypotheses. Empirical methods (e.g. statistics, data collection procedures, experimental design, diagnostics) therefore make up a significant part of the six-semester Bachelor's degree course. The methodological training goes hand in hand with the study of basic psychology (general psychology, differential psychology, developmental psychology, social psychology) as well as the study of applied subjects (clinical psychology, educational psychology and work, organizational and business psychology). The University of Kassel is one of the few German universities that also offers environmental psychology as an applied subject.
