At UE, we place great emphasis on studying in small seminar groups and interactive teaching. We offer maximum practical relevance, individual support and state-of-the-art equipment. Our young and renowned lecturers from practice guarantee early networking with the (international) working world after graduation.

Our curriculum is based on the requirements of EuroPsy (certification system of the European Federation of Psychologists' Associations, EFPA). This means that students - after completing a wide range of professional qualification measures, of which the study program is one - can later acquire the EuroPsy certificate, which certifies appropriate professional competencies throughout Europe.

The study program can be started in the winter and summer semester. In both cases, students have access to the same study content in the basic, methods and application subjects. Differences exist, however, in the structure of the timetable. The courses are attended together with older (earlier) and younger (later enrolled) fellow students, so that the students can encourage and support each other. 

The University of Europe for Applied Sciences (UE) trains the experts of tomorrow. We stand for future-oriented competence development and practical, interdisciplinary teaching formats according to the highest international standards at our campuses in Iserlohn, Berlin and Hamburg. Through the interplay of creativity, entrepreneurial and digital thinking as well as internationality, we show new perspectives in teaching and research to be cut to the needs of the job market 4.0.

Clinical psychologists deal with the therapeutic treatment and support of psychologically and physically ill people. Within rehabilitation psychology, the focus is on restoring the participation of people after physical or mental illnesses (e.g. in psychosomatic, neurological, oncological or geriatric rehabilitation) on a clinical-psychological basis. In addition, clinical psychologists accompany people in successful aging across the lifespan. Competencies are taught that prepare them for psychological work in a clinical context and also enable them to fill leadership positions. After the master's degree, there are many fields of activity, such as therapeutic work with mentally and physically ill people (e.g. in psychiatric, psychosomatic and rehabilitation clinics), counseling of mentally and physically ill people (e.g. in outpatient care facilities), counseling of and preventive work with children, adolescents and families (e.g., in counseling facilities), prevention and intervention activities (e.g., at health insurance funds), research activities (e.g., at non-university research institutions), activities in the health and counseling sector.
