Bachelor of Psychology

Learn how to help and understand others with a Bachelor in Psychology

Psychology is one of the most popular majors worldwide. In addition to being one of the most fascinating and dynamic fields of science, it also provides a springboard for a wide range of opportunities for graduate study as well as exciting career choices.

The UNYP Bachelor in Psychology degree runs for four years. Its aim is to provide students with a solid foundation in science – particularly the study of behavior and the mind – through theory and practical experience in all of the major fields of psychology. Basic courses emphasize scientific thought, critical thinking, and analysis. More specialized courses address therapy and treatment of mental illness, cultural and family issues, as well as psychology in the workplace. Studies pave the way for two primary post-degree career choices: continuing to pursue a graduate degree or direct entry into the workforce.

Roughly 80% of UNYP psychology degree recipients continue their studies after graduation to complete master’s and doctoral degrees from universities in the Czech Republic and abroad. Our graduates have continued their studies locally at Charles University, Masaryk University and Palacky University or they have been accepted to schools abroad such as University College London, Kings College London, Oxford, Cambridge, Yale and The New School for Social Research in New York and also here at the University of New York in Prague.

Graduate Education in Psychology

UNYP launched a master’s program in psychology that was accredited by the Czech Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport.  Students who completed the European Bachelor in Psychology had the option to continue with their studies at UNYP at the graduate level, thus enhancing professional options greatly. All UNYP degree programs that were accredited by MŠMT issued a diploma in the blockchain format as well as a traditional diploma.

"The best part of the program was that it required 700 hours of practical experience before being awarded the diploma. This gave me an advantage over graduates of other programs as i came into the field with hundreds of hours of experience which i believe was invaluable. Having completed my studies in English has also broadened mine professional opportunities."
