Psychology Undergraduate Programme at University of Pécs
What will you study?
The undergraduate psychology programme provides students with knowledge of the human nature and the functioning of human groups:
-
- how human perception, thinking, memory, emotions and development works,
- how individuals form relationships in their close and wider environment,
- how they choose a mate,
- how they think about themselves and others.
By acquiring the comprehensive and general knowledge, students obtain a degree in behaviour analysis. Behaviour analysis experts possess the basic theoretical knowledge of psychological science and its methodological foundations, its various theoretical perspectives and fields of application.

International programme
The standardized European public education and the equivalence of degrees obtained at European universities enable mobility for students.
