Special features regarding teaching

Since internal and interdisciplinary scientific communication (SC) that's addressed to lay people is required in almost every activity, the PHB offers its own SC module with intensive training and trainer certificate. Regular courses are concentrated on 2-3 weekdays. Block courses are between half a day and four full days long. Postgraduate courses in psychology can be taken after the undergraduate degree.

Special features regarding the international orientation

In addition to numerous international cooperation agreements with lecturers, the school of psychology has concluded a cooperation agreement with the University of Georgia, Tbilisi, which enables student exchanges and internships abroad, among other things. Conferences with international participants are held in the PHB's own psychology building. Students receive support in attending international conferences. Once the ERASMUS Charter has been issued, it the opportunity for internships abroad will be offered. PHB has several students and employees of foreign origin.
