MSc Psychology: Specialize in Coaching & Counseling

You already have a Bachelor's degree and are interested in an in-depth Master's in psychology? Would you like to work in consulting, human resources management or as a self-employed coach? Our fully English-taught Psychology Master's programme with a focus on Coaching and Counseling allows you to do so. This degree is exclusively offered at our Berlin campus.

Apart from choosing the English-taught specialisation "Coaching and Counseling", students that are applicable to study in German can also choose another focus area: "Clinical, rehabilitation and gerontological psychology". However, this specialisation is currently only offered in German.

This degree programme enables you to start a career in psychological coaching and counseling. At UE, we also offer a fully German-taught MSc Clinical Psychology (with a focus on Rehabilitation and Gerontopsychology). If you are interested in becoming a psychotherapist, please speak to an advisor, since this would require a different path.

Spotlight Module: "Entrepreneurial Thinking & Digital Models"

In the "Entrepreneurial Thinking & Digital Models" module, students explore the concept of entrepreneurial thinking and its theoretical underpinnings. They recognize the significant role of entrepreneurial thinking in driving innovations, particularly in the context of digital transformation. Additionally, students differentiate between digital entrepreneurship and digital transformation, reflecting on the unique challenges and opportunities each presents.

Furthermore, students critically examine their own thinking patterns, from self-critical analysis to necessary adaptations. They gain a thorough understanding of business model concepts and their components, as well as the intricacies of digital markets and the economics of digital enterprises. Equipped with this knowledge, students can identify and differentiate digital business models, analyse existing models for their potential in digital transformation, and utilize tools for shaping or innovating upon them.
