Social Psychology

Why study at VU University Amsterdam

Excellent education
Teaching takes place on a small scale and is of the highest quality. The tutors take great care in monitoring and mentoring students. You are assigned an individual mentor who provides you with personal guidance and supervision. We have created several special facilities for students, including a dedicated research lab and a study room.
 
Leading scientists
You are taught by scientists who have made unique contributions to the areas of research featured in the programme. All enjoy international recognition as prominent researchers in diverse fields of social psychology and associated disciplines. All of our teaching staff receive consistently excellent educational evaluations. 
 
International orientation
The Master’s has a strong international orientation. It is taught entirely in English, with the staff including highly respected international researchers. Half of all new students come from outside the Netherlands, making the programme truly international in character. Your second year provides you with the opportunity to conduct one or two research projects at a university abroad, under the supervision of a prominent international expert.
