Psychology & Sustainability

If you are looking to address the pressing sustainability transformation in social, economic, and environmental issues through the lens of a psychological perspective , the double-degree Master's in Psychology and Sustainability in cooperation with the University of Groningen in the Netherlands is for you. This two-year programme covers both human perception and behaviour related to sustainable development and the interplay between humans and their natural and built environments . These distinct perspectives complement one another so that the double-degree programme provides unique insights into psychological processes that are involved in the broad transformation towards intersectional and intergenerational justice. Transdisciplinarity is a key component of this double-degree programme. The faculties work closely together to approach the topic of sustainable development from a transdisciplinary perspective. You will have the chance to be involved as part of empirical studies, which will allow you to acquire hands-on knowledge on how to address challenges of sustainable development from a psychological perspective within the broader scope of transdisciplinary research projects. As part of this double-degree programme, you will spend your first year at one of the most renowned universities in the field of sustainability science (Leuphana University Lüneburg) , and your second year at one of the most prestigious universities in the field of environmental psychology (University of Groningen) .
