English courses Dept. of Psychology 2025/26
Update for Summer Semester 2026: Unfortunately, the course Research Methods and Statistics I (Exercise) will be held in German only. However, if international students enrol in Introduction to human ethology , the lecturer is happy to offer the course in English. The accompanying book is available in English as well. We are delighted to offer this special opportunity for a class with a dedicated and widely travelled researcher who offers fascinating insights into human behaviour around the globe.

Some remarks regarding choice of classes and language options:
A stay at the Department of Psychology is possible even without German proficiency. However, there is a limited offer of English courses (see above).
Our course list is updated around June or July (for following winter and summer semester).
Please be aware that there are limited places in seminars. Salzburg students are allocated places according to fixed criteria. We reserve places for international students, but this quota may eventually be filled in case of high demand. We understand that it is important for your studies to complete a certain number of courses and/or ECTS credits. If all places reserved for international students are already taken when you send your Learning Agreement, we will notify you so that you can change it. Incidentally, lectures are the simplest option because there is no maximum number of participants.
Before your stay, you can look at our current courses and check roughly if these fit your needs. Some points to consider are for example: Do you need courses at Bachelor’s or Master’s level or are both possible? Are you allowed to take classes from other departments with (or without) psychological topics etc.

Simply click on “Continue without login”. You will only receive an account once you are here but you can already look up the course info.Next, click on “Course directory”. Choose “Dept. of Psychology” as Organisation and you will find all the courses at our department (those starting with “640” are at the Bachelor’s level and those starting with “840” are at the Master’s level). You can also search other departments or search for specific course titles. However, this may be a bit overwhelming as there are all courses from the whole university, therefore mostly German courses.
The International Office is actually the place to get information all around your stay. At the Dept. of Psychology, we rather check Learning Agreements.
