Undergraduate Program in Psychology

Briefly About the Program!

Academic Title: Bachelor of Psychology (baccalaureus/baccalaurea) (univ. bacc. psych.)

Duration of Study: 6 semesters

Completion of Studies: At least 180 ECTS credits and passing all exams

In each semester, students enroll in compulsory and elective courses (at least 30 ECTS credits). To familiarize students with different branches of psychology, the program consists of courses from various areas of psychology, such as general, developmental, clinical, work psychology, applied psychology, etc.

Students are typically assessed in all courses throughout the semester through continuous knowledge assessment (colloquia, tests, etc.) and various teaching activities in lectures, seminars, and exercises (70% of the final grade) and a final exam (30% of the final grade). This model encourages students to learn continuously and master the curriculum more effectively.

What Will You Learn?
The undergraduate psychology program is focused on orienting students in various areas of psychology and studying specific content from scientific disciplines related to psychology. Students are prepared for jobs that require the application of fundamental research methods, data collection techniques, statistical analysis, designing and conducting simpler research and projects, presenting professional content, and similar tasks. The professional courses make up the majority of the study program, but to enrich general culture and broaden perspectives beyond the context of the discipline, interdisciplinary studies are promoted, allowing students to take courses from other scientific disciplines and several theological courses.

What Comes After Graduation?
This level of education is primarily aimed at acquiring the necessary knowledge, competencies, and skills needed for graduate studies. Completing education at this level does not permit the practice of psychology or provide the necessary competencies for such practice.
