The Bachelor in Psychology prepares students to understand human behavior and mental processes. It equips them with research skills and empirical approaches, essential for careers in mental health, social services, and education.
In the Bachelor of Psychology program, students explore a wide range of topics, including cognitive processes, emotional and behavioral dynamics, and the development of individuals throughout their lifespan. The curriculum emphasizes understanding psychological disorders and social behavior, integrating both theoretical and practical methodologies.
The program spans six semesters, comprising compulsory courses amounting to 108 ECTS, elective modules, a 200-hour internship, and a Bachelor’s thesis. Students are guided through a structured sequence of courses and are encouraged to engage in practical experiences through internships and research projects.
Graduates of the program gain competencies in psychological assessment, empirical research, and critical thinking, equipping them to understand and analyze human behavior in various contexts. They develop skills essential for applying psychological theories to real-world situations, fostering interpersonal effectiveness and analytical capabilities.

Third-country (non-EU/EEA) applicants generally need to have their prior qualifications legalised and translated for the admission application. Exact rules depend on the country that issued each document — always confirm with the university's admissions office.
Program-specific items — a CV, letter of motivation, an entrance exam (e.g. GMAT, GRE, SAT) or a portfolio — vary by degree. Check this program's requirements above and its official page.
The level of legalisation your certificates need depends on your country of origin:
Apostille
If your country is part of the Hague Apostille Convention, an Apostille from the competent authority of the issuing country is sufficient.
No legalisation
A small number of countries have a bilateral agreement with Austria and need no further legalisation.
Full diplomatic legalisation
For all other countries: the full chain — pre-certification by the issuing country's authorities (e.g. Ministry of Education and Ministry of Foreign Affairs), then legalisation by the competent Austrian representation (embassy/consulate).
Translations are usually done after legalisation. Check the required order with the issuing authorities and the Austrian representation.
After admission: proof of sufficient funds, health insurance and the student residence permit are part of the visa process — not university admission. We cover those in the guides.
