At the beginning of the degree programme, they become familiar with central psychological, philosophical and didactic concepts. They deal with theoretical and practical aspects of both disciplines, also in combination with each other in joint courses.In this way, they learn to philosophise themselves and become familiar with methods of psychology. They also deal with topics that are relevant to our everyday lives. The didactic courses focus on how psychological and philosophical content can be practically implemented in schools.
