Learning objectives

Students will acquire up-to-date knowledge about the basic concepts and methodologies of psychology. They also will be able to develop an in-depth preparation on the functioning of the main psychological processes fundamental for the understanding of human behavior.
Given the transversal and dynamic nature of psychological disciplines, the student will develop the ability to apply such knowledge in the field of healthcare professions and to keep them constantly updated thanks to a substantial exercise of their critical thinking.
