The MSc course in Psychology with a focus on clinical psychology and psychotherapy qualifies graduates to work as psychologists and, in particular, as psychotherapists.

The course prepares students for independent work in selected professional fields with a clinical-psychological and psychotherapeutic focus, especially in health and social services, but also in science.
