Quick Facts:

At Leuphana College you are provided with the opportunity to tailor your studies to your respective interests. For this purpose, you can choose from different minor subjects to complement your Psychology major:

• Psychology & Society: The Psychology & Society minor provides insights into current topics and research in socially relevant areas such as health, sustainability and environment, politics, and media. At the heart of this minor is the application of psychological theories and interventions for the benefit of society. Given its international orientation, the minor is taught in English. The combination of Psychology major and Psychology & Society minor is a Bachelor degree programme accredited with the seal of quality of the German Society for Psychology (DGPs). Graduates generally meet the admission criteria for consecutive psychology Masters programmes.
• Business Psychology: In the Business Psychology minor, you concentrate exclusively on psychological aspects that are relevant in business and industry. You can set an individual focus in the areas of personnel and organisation, work and technology, or market and consumption. This minor is taught in German.
• The Leuphana psychology programme intentionally excludes the focus on Psychotherapy or Clinical Psychology and is aimed at socially relevant fields of practice instead (e.g., education, public service, economic organisations, political institutions). In accordance with this social psychological focus of the B.Sc. Psychology at Leuphana College, Clinical Psychology cannot be selected as an application focus.
