The study of the subject psychology is geared towards an activity in the field of school and education. In addition to basic disciplines (such as general psychology, developmental psychology, social psychology, differential psychology), application subjects (such as clinical psychology, work and organizational psychology, educational psychology) and the research methods of psychology, didactics plays an important role in the study. The study is completed with a bachelor's or master's thesis, in which the ability to work scientifically is demonstrated. This can be done in one of the two subjects or in the educational sciences. The master's thesis will be accompanied by an accompanying seminar of the respective subject or educational sciences.
