How do we choose our friends and partners? Why is it so hard to resist temptation? Do violent video games cause aggression? What motivates us to study? If these questions intrigue you, then Psychology is the course for you!

Why study Psychology?

• Choose the English-taught programme or the bilingual programme.
• Compose your personal learning path from the second year on, to fit with your interests and preferred professional field.
• Complete part of your programme studying abroad in the third year. Can you see yourself in Australia, Japan, or South-Africa?
• Radboud University is the place for leading research in the areas of Brain & Cognition, Development & Mental Health and Behaviour & Environment.

What will you learn?

In the Psychology Bachelor's programme, you will research human behaviour, their mind and emotions.

You will learn how the brain controls our behaviour and how we develop from infancy to old age. You will also learn to understand how our environment and social groups, influence how we think, act and feel. Are you ready to embark on a programme that will change your beliefs about the world and yourself?

Future career opportunities:

Since behaviour plays a role absolutely everywhere, you can find psychologists working in a wide range of functions and sectors, including aid, education, human resources management, public policy, counselling, training, coaching, sport and advertising.

However, no matter how different the fields of work are, the psychologist's mission remains the same: to contribute to quality of life and society by changing unhealthy and undesirable behaviour.
