  • Feb 21
  • 2 min read

This Master study program is a 100% research-based academic pathway designed for graduates from non-psychology backgrounds who wish to transition into the field of psychology through rigorous scientific training. The Master in Psychology (Conversion) is academically positioned at a level equal to EQF Level 7 and aligned with the second cycle of the European Higher Education framework, equivalent to 60 ECTS credits.

Psychology plays a central role in understanding human behavior, cognition, emotion, and social interaction. As societies face complex challenges related to mental health, workplace dynamics, education, and social change, there is growing demand for professionals equipped with a strong psychological foundation. This program provides a structured academic transition into psychology, combining theoretical depth with advanced research competence.

The academic structure consists of five modules designed to ensure comprehensive disciplinary grounding and methodological rigor. Two modules focus on research methodology and advanced research design, equipping participants with quantitative and qualitative analysis skills, statistical literacy, experimental design knowledge, and ethical research standards. Two general modules strengthen core psychological foundations, including cognitive psychology, developmental psychology, social psychology, and biological bases of behavior. One specialized module focuses on key areas within psychology, such as psychological assessment, individual differences, applied psychology contexts, and contemporary debates within the discipline.

The program culminates in a thesis and structured research activities, where participants conduct an in-depth investigation into a relevant psychological topic. Through this research-driven approach, candidates demonstrate critical thinking, scientific reasoning, and the ability to apply psychological theories to real-world contexts.

With a minimum duration of 12 months and flexibility for extension, the program is structured to accommodate students who are transitioning academically while maintaining professional or personal commitments. It is particularly suitable for professionals in education, healthcare, business, social sciences, or related disciplines seeking to build a formal academic foundation in psychology.

Graduates of this Master study program are prepared to pursue further academic research, professional development pathways, or roles where psychological insight enhances practice and decision-making. They develop the competence to analyze behavior scientifically, interpret psychological data, and contribute to evidence-based approaches across multiple sectors.

The Master in Psychology (Conversion) represents a research-centered academic journey designed to provide a strong, scientifically grounded entry into the field of psychology.
