Career perspectives

The Bachelor’s programme qualifies you for psychological routine jobs as well as work under the guidance of a psychologist with a German Diplom (Diplom-Psychologe) or a Master's degree. The standard degree in Psychology is a Master’s degree. Thus, in order to be considered qualified for a profession, a consecutive Master’s programme is usually required.
Potential occupational opportunities are manifold for Psychology graduates:

  • Work and Organisational Psychology, e.g.: aptitude testing, staff selection and development, job analysis and design
  • Clinical Psychology, e.g.: clinical-psychological diagnostics, consulting and support of measures for health promotion and prevention
  • Educational Psychology, e.g.: diagnosis and treatment of learning disorders, educational counselling, adult education

For some professions (like psychotherapist) the continuing education is regulated by law, for many others additional qualifications are recommended.
