Minor subjects

The opportunity to look beyond the boundaries of psychology is firmly anchored in the Master's in Intercultural Psychology at Osnabrück University. Minor subject courses are therefore an obligatory part of the Master's program. In addition to the specialist focus of the Master's degree, the minor module offers a good opportunity to specialize and develop your own profile.

In the Master's degree course in Intercultural Psychology, 4 minor courses worth 12 credit points must be taken. The courses must each comprise at least 3 credit points. However, it is also possible to take 2 courses with 6 credit points each. Students are responsible for finding and choosing the courses.

  • The extracurricular lecture"Psychodynamic Procedures" by Prof. Dr. Rogner in the summer semester

Coursework completed abroad during the Master's degree course that is not part of the overall psychology curriculum can be recognized. This also applies to courses in clinical psychology.

By opening up the minor subject area to courses from clinical psychology, it is therefore possible to include up to 12 ECTS credits of clinical work in the Master's in Intercultural Psychology. At some further education institutes for psychotherapy, this combination makes it possible to train as a psychological psychotherapist according to the old system.

The following rules must be observed for the recognition of minor subject courses:

  1. The courses must be taken and completed during the Master's degree program. Courses completed before the current degree program will not be recognized.
  2. Courses taken before the Master's degree course from other degree courses are not recognized.
  3. Additional coursework completed during the Bachelor's degree (e.g. Educational Psychology) will not be recognized.
  4. Achievements during interruptions of studies are not recognized.
  5. Language courses are not recognized.
  6. Certificates and further education courses are not recognized.

In the minor subject courses, 2 course certificates and 2 examination certificates must be provided:

  • The grades from the minor module are not included in the overall grade.
  • An examination can also only be assessed as passed or failed. This must be clarified in advance with the respective lecturer. Examinations can be recognized as coursework, but the reverse is not possible.
