Program description
The Constructor BSc in Integrated Social and Cognitive Psychology is based on a multi-level approach to human behavior, which reflects the understanding that conduct is restricted and molded by elements ranging from biological and psychological characteristics to socio-cultural circumstances. In their influence on behavior, these elements interact in a complex way. Our curriculum will teach you how to evaluate, model, and eventually influence such multi-level interactions. You will investigate in depth how diverse, for example, relationships between individuals, social groups, and even civilizations may emerge as a result of impacts from those many levels.
Six semesters of study totaling 180 ECTS credit points comprise the three-year undergraduate program (CP). The 3C-Model, an innovative and student-centered modularization approach, organizes the discipline material of the three study years according to overarching themes.
The world's issues and threats are complicated now. Navigating the international political arena and developing long-term solutions need a complex and multifaceted approach. As a result, the International Relations: Politics and History (IRPH) curriculum teaches students concepts and methodologies from a variety of subjects such as political science, history, law, and philosophy. The overarching goal is twofold: first, to provide students with the theoretical understanding and analytical abilities necessary to investigate the historical genesis of, and solutions to, significant global evils. Second, we want to educate our students to excel in graduate school or in the employment market.
Approximately 60% of our graduates attend prominent graduate institutions such as Oxford, Cambridge, the London School of Economics (LSE), Harvard, Johns Hopkins, Georgetown, and Sciences Po. Approximately 40% of our graduates enter the labor market and find work in conventional international relations sectors, public policy, or development work, as well as in the business sector, consultancy, and a variety of other professions. Our students' achievement attests to the IRPH program's quality, which is further supported by the program's exceptional rankings from the Centre for Higher Education (CHE).
