"School psychology is a school's specialist psychological service and supports all those involved in school life: Students and their caregivers, teachers, the school management, school supervision, school administration and legislative bodies. School psychology thus sees itself as a co-designer of the public education and training system." (Source: bdp)
The KU offers the subject of “School Psychology” for the teaching profession and the program’s study profile is largely oriented towards the Bachelor's degree program, despite its own emphasis. The special profile: Beyond the scope of a well-founded empirical education, students of the program will have the opportunity to reflect on value orientation and the meaning of action.
The program in detail
Psychology is an empirical science that combines features from the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences. It deals with issues in basic research as well as practical questions. The diversity of the discipline is reflected in the various theoretical and applied courses in the degree program. The special profile of the Psychology department in Eichstätt: Beyond the scope of a well-founded empirical education, students of the program will have the opportunity to reflect on value orientation and the meaning of action. In accordance with the Psychology department’s research priorities, topics related to values also part of the program. Students who decide to study psychology should have an interest in the principles of human experience and behavior, and enjoy academic work. The academic nature of the program means that it requires strong learning capabilities and resilience. Due to the breadth of the content and its international nature, students should have a good command of German and English. An aptitude for mathematics is also an advantage.
The subject can be chosen in all teaching programs at the KU; for the teaching profession at secondary schools (Realschule or Gymnasium), it can be combined with English or Mathematics, in the teaching program for Gymnasium (LA GY) also with Latin.
