Overview

This Bachelor’s degree programme provides a comprehensive knowledge of the foundations of the different areas of Psychology, and prepares the students to master the scientific investigation methods and their application to the specific field of Psychology.
Learning is focused on mechanisms of sensory and perceptual processing, on cognitive functions (attention, executive functions, learning and memory, thought and language, intelligence), and on emotional, motivational and personality aspects; it encompasses the way these processes and functions change during the life span or due to psychopathological or neuropathological conditions, their role in social and work interactions, and on the simulation of such processes and functions by means of neural networks. The notions about Psychology and cognitive science are tightly integrated with an in-depth study of the neural basis of behaviour.

Career opportunities

This programme is primarily intended for providing the basic knowledge needed for continuing the studies with the second level of training offered by the Master’s degree programme in Psychology (Corso di Laurea Magistrale).
However, this degree allows, after a post-graduate training and the subsequent registration to the Section B of the Professional order (and under the supervision of a psychologist with a second cycle degree), to work for organisations that help individuals, families, groups and communities, to carry out ventures aimed at promoting the welfare and the strengthening of individual and social resources; to realize and verify rehabilitative, psycho-educational and psycho-social interventions in several areas (e.g.: work, school or disability), also through the use of psychometric tests and other standardized tools used in Psychology.
