These ECTS points are internationally comparable and of course recognized.

Online studies in Applied Psychology: Compulsory practical project

Psychology is about knowing and understanding human behaviour and mechanisms of communication in various areas of life. It is important that you gain practical insights into the exciting and diverse professional field of psychology and start working with people during your studies. In your practical project, you work a minimum of 300 hours in an institution of your choice. This can be a social institution, a company or a public institution. You can start your practical project once you have successfully completed one of the modules “Introduction to statistics in social sciences” or “Statistics”. We recommend you start looking for your practical partner as early as possible in order to finish your studies in the intended time.
