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.
