Business Psychology

• Interest in psychological content in an economic context
• Desire for practical work and innovative questions—projects, internships and practical collaborations are an important part of the curriculum.
• Openness, strong communication skills and the ability to work in a team – you will often work together in groups.
• Quick comprehension and social skills are an advantage – you will analyze and answer mostly complex consumer and work-related questions.

The wide-ranging study of business psychology opens up numerous fields of activity for you. Graduates of the business psychology program are sought-after experts in commercial enterprises, the public sector, and NGOs. Possible career fields include:

• Market and opinion research
• Marketing
• Self-employment as a coach, trainer, or consultant
• Media and communication
• Human resources management
• Work/organizational design

You can also further deepen your knowledge—e.g., in master's programs such as Business Psychology and Sustainability.
