Master program
The Master program in the Psychology program is basically a one-year program. In addition, a Research Master program of two years is offered. A student chooses a master in a particular field. In each of the master specializations, students spend 20 EC on cursory education, 20 EC on the master's thesis and (at least) 10 EC on the internship. Students doing an internship of 10 EC also spend 10 EC on electives. In order to meet the entry requirements for the post-master professional program to become a Health Care Psychologist, students in the four clinically oriented master specializations (Clinical Psychology, Clinical Neuropsychology, Health Psychology, Child and Adolescent Psychology) have the possibility to expand the obligatory 10 EC internship to an internship of 20 EC. This internship fits within the educational program of 60 EC; students doing an internship of 20 EC are not obliged to do 10 EC of electives.
