Regarding lifelong learning, you’ll invest above all in yourself and your professional skills in the future. Also, studying is fun – especially when, like at IU, education takes place the way you want it to.
The Applied Psychology degree programme will teach you the fundamental basics of psychology. In addition to work-related and organisational psychology, this also includes psychological research and practice. In contrast to a classic degree programme, the focus is on practical application and industry specialisation. Accordingly, you will dive deeper into behavioural and evolutionary research as well as into the areas of counselling, communication, conflict management, intercultural psychology and positive psychology. This will allow you to work in a wide variety of settings later on.
Especially in the digital age, the psychological factor is becoming more and more important. It’s good if there are professionals like you who analyse human behaviour in detail to make working and everyday life better. Whether in the healthcare sector, in the world of communication and media or in business – with a Bachelor of Applied Psychology, you will be broadly positioned and will be able to put your knowledge in psychology directly into practice after graduating; for example, in business, advertising or the media. There, your knowledge of psychological behaviour will be used for employee selection or customer acquisition.
