Course description

The three-year degree course in Psychological Science and Techniques allows students to acquire basic knowledge of the various sectors of psychological disciplines and scientific investigation methods and procedures, as well as the basic elements of some fundamental technical skills (interview management, psychometric techniques, data collection and processing techniques) and operational skills (e.g. activity planning, communication, reporting, documentation management), to operate professionally - under the responsibility of psychologists with a master's degree or higher qualification - in the field of services aimed at individuals, groups, organizations and communities.
