Psychology is a broad academic discipline consisting of various topics. To get an idea of this, you will attend two sample lectures, each on a different psychological subject. You will do a homework assignment to prepare for this. Just like for a real lecture! Moreover, you will receive information on the study itself and hear about future perspectives. Students will share their personal stories and will be ready to answer all your questions.
