Psychology

The aim of the master’s programme in psychology is to offer students in-depth knowledge and skills from the area of basic and applied disciplines of the science of psychology and some other related sciences. This kind of knowledge is essential to practise as a psychologist independently and to continue the studies of psychology on the third level (doctoral level, specialisation) as well as for specific in-service training.

The aim of the programme is for students to acquire additional theoretical knowledge, comprehension and skills in areas which have already been covered in the undergraduate programme of psychology; to improve their research skills and qualify for using the psychological diagnostic instruments and providing more demanding psychological treatment. In addition to development of general competences, enabling psychologist practitioners-in-training to render their service to their clients effectively, the principal goal at this level of studies is the development of subject-specific competences relating to the psychological content of the professional practical training.

After completing the studies, Masters of Psychology are qualified to practise as psychologists independently in any professional area. They are able to develop and apply psychological principles, knowledge, models and methods in an ethical and scientific way. Their work is based on the principles of professional ethics and their personal maturity; their work promotes progress, well-being and effectiveness of individuals, groups, organisations and the society.

The candidates have to provide evidence of Slovenian language skills proficiency at level B2 of Common European Framework of References for Languages (CEFR).
