Why do people say what they say? Social psychologists discovered that the way we feel determines our language. The Master's in Social Psychology studies fundamental social psychological processes.
The Master's in Social Psychology takes a multidisciplinary approach to fundamental social psychological processes. In this Master's programme you learn the essential skills needed to conduct innovative research of the highest quality. It also provides an excellent opportunity for in-depth exploration of the central theories in Social Psychology and its related disciplines. This is a two-year programme, taught entirely in English. Consisting primarily of small-scale teaching in seminars, tutorials and workshops, it involves the following activities: studying basic principles of social psychology, acquiring advanced research skills, exploring interdisciplinary perspectives, conducting your own empirical research, writing a Master's thesis. You write your Master's thesis in the form of reports on two research projects. The internationally recognized title Master of Science (MSc) in Social Psychology is awarded to those who complete the programme successfully. Many social psychologists conduct research and teach at universities or colleges.
