About the programme

Psychology with a specialisation in Coaching and Counseling is an English-taught Master of Science at the University of Europe for Applied Sciences (UE), offered only on its Berlin campus. It takes 4 semesters (120 ECTS), with starts in September (winter) and March (summer), and classes typically run Wednesday to Saturday. It prepares you for careers in psychological coaching and counseling, consulting, human resources management or self-employment as a coach. Modules include psychological topics of coaching and counseling, business coaching and leadership concepts, and entrepreneurial thinking and digital models. Students who can study in German may instead choose a clinical, rehabilitation and gerontological psychology focus. If you want to become a psychotherapist, the page says that requires a different path. Requirements include a related Bachelor's of 180 credits including 30 credits in psychology; if you lack these, a one-semester Premaster helps you meet the requirements.
