Contents
The Master's Degree Course in Psychology is aimed at placing graduates in the world of work, also thanks to the consolidated collaboration with the Ligurian Regional Board of Psychologists. It provides an advanced knowledge of the contents and methods of the psychological disciplines, with the aim of training a psychologist able to operate independently and apply theories and techniques of psychology for different purposes.
The course offers 2 didactic and professional training programs:
- Clinical and community psychology
- Psychology of typical and atypical development
In the first year there are: three common courses, two differentiated by curriculum, one elective and one related course, 4 compulsory ECTS of laboratories, common to the two curricula, and 2 ECTS of internships.
In the second year, the teaching load is lower, in order to focus on professionalisation and the realisation of the thesis project.
