  • 2 min read

This Master study program is an advanced, 100% research-based academic pathway designed for professionals and graduates who seek to explore the philosophical foundations, theoretical frameworks, and epistemological dimensions of psychology. Positioned at a study level equal to EQF Level 7 and aligned with the second European cycle, the program emphasizes analytical thinking, conceptual depth, and independent research competence.

The Master in Philosophy in Psychology bridges classical philosophical inquiry with contemporary psychological science. It examines fundamental questions about mind, consciousness, behavior, ethics, cognition, identity, and human experience, while engaging with modern debates in clinical psychology, social psychology, neuroscience, and behavioral sciences. Participants critically evaluate theoretical models, research paradigms, and methodological assumptions that shape psychological knowledge and practice.

Structured into five modules, the program includes:

  • Two research-focused modules dedicated to advanced research methodology, academic writing, data analysis, and research design.

  • Two general academic modules that strengthen critical thinking, interdisciplinary analysis, and scholarly communication.

  • One specialized module dedicated specifically to the philosophical foundations of psychology, exploring ontological, epistemological, and ethical dimensions of the field.

The program culminates in a substantial thesis and structured research activities, enabling candidates to contribute original insight to the discipline.

With a standard duration of 12+ months and a flexible study structure, participants may extend their study period according to their professional and research commitments. The workload is equivalent to 60 ECTS, ensuring alignment with European higher education standards.

This Master study program is particularly suited for psychologists, researchers, educators, mental health professionals, consultants, and interdisciplinary scholars seeking deeper theoretical expertise, academic progression, or preparation for doctoral-level research.
