Psychology students are constantly striving to understand all aspects of human behaviour. The field of psychology is very important in medicine, health research and behavioural studies because of its significance in human development and society. Knowledge of the underlying processes behind human behaviour and cognition can lead to discoveries in more complex psychological conditions such as depression, epilepsy, brain damage and Alzheimer's disease.
An undergraduate degree will focus on the scientific elements of psychology, as well as the societal elements of psychology. You will cover different areas, including clinical psychology, social psychology and developmental psychology, among others.
Your degree will be taught mainly through lectures and seminars. You might have the opportunity to participate in some practical lessons, including laboratory sessions. Students studying for a degree will have the chance to develop their knowledge and skills in all areas of psychology.
The Netherlands is a great choice for international students, as it has a very large international population that would be ready to make any new international students feel at home. The Netherlands was also one of the first non-native English speaking countries to offer courses taught in English to international students. The Dutch people have a long standing reputation of being tolerant and open minded, meaning you will feel welcomed and comfortable as soon as you arrive in the country.
