Overview
The aim of the programme is to train professionals in the theoretical foundations and basic methods of psychology and to give insights into the applied branches of the discipline, such as skills and techniques that can be used to measure, explore and develop individuals, groups or organizations. Students will obtain an integrated knowledge of cognitive, affective, developmental, personality and social psychology. It is also aimed to provide modern knowledge and a sense of vocation that support further studies in any psychology MA programme.
Entrance examination: The applicant receives a popular psychology-related magazine article and has one hour to read it before the oral examination begins. In the oral examination, the applicant should discuss the article with the examiners, and is expected to be able to summarize the main points of the article and reply to related questions. The committee assesses whether the applicant has the adequate vocabulary to understand the topic and skills to analyse the text. Notes can be taken during the preparation (i.e., while reading the article) and used during the discussion. In the second part of the interview, the applicant has the opportunity to share their background and express their motivation. The entrance examination can be taken online via Teams. (For that, it is not necessary to download the app).

Career opportunities
A behaviour analyst can carry out activities that support the work of a qualified psychologist in organisations and institutions providing education, training, development, re-education, correction, treatment and rehabilitation. Furthermore, a behaviour analyst can also work in any psychological laboratory and complete and evaluate several standard experiments and aptitude tests of organisational psychology. In specific cases, however, the supervision of a qualified psychologist is necessary. A behaviour analyst is trained and prepared to conduct and analyse several studies regarding human interventions, such as standard or intentional survey of competence, adaptivity, attitude or functioning; the demand for such professionals is high in any country of the world. Institutes that already employ a well-trained and qualified psychologist can also claim professionals to work under supervision and deepen their competence this way. Thus, the human resources and financial budgets might get better organized and become more productive whilst remaining cost effective – benefiting both employers and employees.
