Overview

Psychology  can be seen as an umbrella discipline overarching all other disciplines. It is the study of the human mind and the behavior that it generates, as well as how humans behave across various subjects.

The students of the Psychology programme from Webster Vienna Private University  use approaches that range from the scientific to the philosophical, from the experimental to the theoretical. Through these methods our students develop and apply problem-solving skills that will help them think analytically and communicate clearly and persuasively throughout their lives and careers.

Our experienced faculty specialize in a variety of areas that will allow you to approach psychology from different perspectives, including biological and evolutionary, clinical and counseling, lifespan development, learning and cognitive, social and cross-cultural perspectives. Even Neuroscience plays an important role. Our students also learn advanced research methods, such as the advanced analysis of statistical techniques, research methodology and psychological testing.
