About Psychology in Jacobs University Bremen

Psychology - The Program

The Jacobs BA in Psychology is built on a multi-level approach. Studying human behavior at the levels of the individual, the group and of the society and culture reflects the insight that individual behavior is constrained and shaped by factors that range from biological and psychological variables to socio-cultural contexts, such as, for instance, interpersonal, intergroup and even intercultural relationships. These factors interact in an intricate fashion in their effects on behavior. Our program focuses on equipping you with the skills to analyze, model, and eventually influence those multi-level interactions in ways that help individuals and groups attain positive outcomes, both performance-related (e.g., academic or job performance) and personal (e.g., subjective well-being, health behavior).

Career Perspectives

The BA in Psychology at Jacobs opens doors for a professional career and lays the groundwork for an academic career, especially in an international context. You will be a strong candidate for junior positions in all jobs that require skills in analyzing, designing, or improving human interaction, presentation, and communication. Therefore, your career opportunities will be in fields such as advertising, counseling, diversity management health promotion, human resource management, intercultural relations, management consulting, market research, media, as well as applied research in companies, public institutions, and non-governmental organizations.

Moreover, you will be well prepared for international specialized Master programs in psychology and its neighboring fields, as well as for integrated, research-focused Master-PhD Programs. Given its interdisciplinary focus, the Psychology does not guarantee admission to general Master programs in Psychology at German universities. In Germany, general M.Sc. Psychology programs entitle graduates to enroll in state-recognized, regulated psychotherapy training programs that lead to licensure (“Approbation”) and admit only graduates from general B.Sc. Psychology programs.
