Psychology Maastricht University

Overview

Psychologists want to understand, explain, and predict how people think, feel, and behave. They do not only want to understand it, but also change it if necessary. The field of psychology is very broad. According to people in the work field, for general tasks on the academic level, you can best hire a psychologist. More and more, psychologists are called upon to recognise and come up with solutions for societal issues. Think about how people handle crises such as: climate, migration, digitalisation, loneliness, polarisation, social justice, and above all, mental health. During your Psychology bachelor at Maastricht University, you will learn the field of psychology inside and out.
