Orientation

This 'Clinical Psychology' Elective Package is new in 2023-2024.  It consists of 2 theoretical courses and 2 short clinical internships.

Period 1 (8 weeks):

Internship B  (8 ECTS = about 5 1/2 weeks full time)
Clinical Psychology Package Internship (PSY3393): An orientation internship
Students build on their previously acquired knowledge and skills from Internship A. This placement must take place in a different facility to Internship A and can be any interdisciplinary care facility in which counselling, prevention or rehabilitation are used. This can include outpatient clinics, ambulatory centers, or inpatient clinics. Although the facility needs to offer care in one of the following areas: psychotherapeutic care, psychiatric care, psychosomatic care, neuropsychological care, prevention, rehabilitation, care for people with mental and/or physical disabilities or other areas of institutional care. The placement must be supervised by a licensed health care psychologist or psychotherapist who works at the facility.

Passing the 'Clinical Psychology' Elective Package results in 25 ECTS. This is 1 ECTS more than the 24 ECTS reserved for electives in the bachelor program, which means that students who successfully complete this concentration obtain a total of 181 (instead of 180) ECTS at the end of their bachelor in psychology.
