Psychology is about analysing people's behaviour, thoughts, and emotions. At Radboud University, you'll learn to do so from neurobiological, developmental, clinical, and socio-cultural psychological perspectives. Our psychologists have found employment in highly varied work fields: healthcare, education, human resources management, government policy information, training and coaching, sports, communication, marketing, advertising, and research. As a psychologist, you are committed to the quality of life of individuals, groups, and society at large.

specialisaties
specialisatie Brain & Cognition
How does the brain work and what role does it play in our behaviour?
In this domain you will learn about the anatomy of the brain. You will study language, learning, memory, perception, and emotions. You will also focus on disorders such as strokes and dementia.
specialisatie Development & Mental Health
What developmental changes do humans go through during the course of their life, from infancy to old age?
In this domain you will study the cognitive, motor, moral, and social-emotional development of humans. You will learn how our social context (family, school, work, culture) influences our wellbeing and you will practice how to recognise and treat psychological disorders in children, adults, and the elderly.
specialisatie Behaviour & Environment
How do groups and (sub)cultures influence our thoughts, emotions, and our behaviour?
This domain will teach you all you need to know about interpersonal relationships, group behaviour, stereotypes, and prosocial and antisocial behaviour. You will study the ways in which humans interact with each other and how they influence each other, for example, in families, at the sports club, or at work.

You'll learn to study human behaviour; their thoughts, feelings, and actions. At Radboud University, you'll do so from cognitive, developmental, and socio-psychological perspectives. By carrying out a research project in every study year, you'll learn to develop intervention strategies to, for instance, counter unwanted or unhealthy behaviour. In this way, you'll be able to contribute to the innovation of healthcare, work, education, sports, policy, advising, and prevention.study abroad
A semester abroad perfectly fits into the third year of the Bachelor's programme of Psychology. If you obtain all of the 120 ECTS of the first two years in time, you will be allowed to write your Bachelor's thesis in the first semester of the third year and go abroad in the second semester.bindend studieadvies
- minimaal 42 EC in de eerste 12 maanden
At the end of the year, you will receive either a positive or a negative Binding Study Advice (BSA). A positive BSA is required in order to advance to the second year. In order to receive a positive BSA, you will need to obtain a minimum of 42 course credits (ECs) out of 60. Failure to meet this requirement will result in a negative BSA, which means having to discontinue your studies at Radboud University. Moreover, you will not be able to enrol in the study programme for the next three years.
