About the programme
The Master's programme in Psychology & Sustainability at Leuphana University Lüneburg looks at the role of psychology and human behaviour in sustainable transformation. It is a two-year programme of four semesters and 120 credits, taught in English in Lüneburg, starting every winter term in October with 25 study places. You learn to understand, predict and influence behaviour that advances sustainability, using a multi-level approach to psychological processes in individuals, communities and societies. Questions include how social norms shape sustainable behaviour and how information and misinformation affect it. From the third semester you follow one of two tracks: the Lüneburg Track with a focus on sustainability sciences, or the Groningen Track at the University of Groningen with a focus on environmental psychology, which has up to fifteen places a year. It is aimed at graduates from psychology, the social sciences, sustainability studies or related fields.
