Psychologie

Gain a meta perspective on psychology in Europe's only programme of its kind. Explore how ideas and biases have shaped the field—and continue to shape minds and society today.

Historical, theoretical, and philosophical research into psychology itself drives the field to become more careful in its claims about human behaviour, more inclusive in whose knowledge counts, and more socially relevant by aligning theory and practice with diverse lived realities.

This writing- and thinking-driven programme encourages you to give voice to the silenced perspectives and examine those that have been written out, ignored, or misunderstood over time due to prejudice or dogma.

In this master's, you will:* Explore psychology's historical, social, and conceptual roots to understand how it became what it is today* Develop a meta view on psychology by reflecting critically on its ideas, methods, and assumptions—and on those it has ignored or misunderstood* Learn to question dominant frameworks, uncover silenced voices, and engage with issues of inclusion, justice, and equity* Gain hands-on research experience through writing, reading primary sources, and debating diverse perspectives* Sharpen your writing and reasoning skills in one of the most intellectually intensive tracks of the Psychology master's, developing abilities to analyse, communicate, and reflect critically on complex ide

Past victimization, previous offending, psychopathology, aggression, being male: which of these variables might be the best predictor of future violent (re)offending?

And which variables might increase the chance of (re)victimization? How can interventions help to prevent crime? How can victims of violence and crime overcome their victimization?
