Programme Introduction
The goal of the programme is to train students to become professionals in the theoretical foundations and basic methods of psychology and offer insights into the applied branches of the discipline, such as possessing skills and techniques that can be used to measure, explore and develop the behavioural and mental processes of individuals, groups and organizations through behavioural measurement or other experiments. Students obtain an integrated knowledge of education, communication, socialization, learning and human development. The program also provides theoretical and practical knowledge and a vocation that qualifies students for further studies in any psychology MA programmes.
Career opportunities
The activity of a behaviour-analyst can find its grounds and justification in every organization, field, institute, where the following processes take place: education, qualification, development, leadership, recruitment, selection, re-education, correction, or health activities. Furthermore, a behaviour analyst can also work in any psychological laboratory and can complete and evaluate several standard experiments and aptitude tests of organisational psychology. Naturally – in specific cases – the supervision of a qualified psychologist is obligatory. A behaviour analyst is trained and prepared to conduct and analyse several experiments regarding human interventions, like standard or intentional survey of competence, adaptivity, attitude or functioning, the demand for such professionals can be characterized as significant and remarkable. Institutes that already employ a well-trained and qualified psychologist can also claim professionals to work under supervision and deepen their competence this way. Thus, the human resources and financial budgets might get better organized and become more productive whilst remaining cost effective – benefiting both employers and employees.
