Course Information

Course description

The Master's programme in Social Psychology focuses on both individual and group behaviour in formal and informal social contexts

It studies how people behave in their social surroundings and what influences this behaviour. Particularly problems related to consumer behaviour, work and organisational behaviour, and decision-making in social, economic and organisational contexts are important themes in this Master's programme.

Related to these themes, two separate tracks have been formed, each with its own focus and study programme:

• Work and Organisational Psychology
• Economic Psychology
