I am looking for flexible study programs. Will you be able to study at the Psychologische Hochschule Berlin? I am already in working life and / or have children.
The Psychologische Hochschule Berlin would like to take into account the reality of life of its students - family, children, work. The teaching concept takes into account the individual prerequisites, resources and development needs of the learners, allows them their own way of acquiring knowledge and enables them to achieve a large number of their own learning goals that are not specified in detail in advance.
In the dual system of psychotherapeutic training with integrated study courses are mainly held on weekends or in block periods on fixed dates. Although the practical activity and the hours of treatment are specified in their total number, in particular when registering for the examinations, they can be divided according to their own discretion. In the end, your own specifications and options determine the duration of your studies until the final exam. If you want to complete your studies and training within the 7-semester time frame, the time required equals full-time work.
The seminars of the Master program of Psychology take place primarily from Monday to Thursday. The postgraduate master's degree program in Legal Psychology is offered as an extra-occupational study program with seminars at the weekend.
