    MSc Psychology: Learning Sciences

    About

    The interdisciplinary MSc Psychology: Learning Sciences is offered by the Munich Center of the Learning Sciences (MCLS). It combines fundamental skills and expertise from the fields of psychology and education and has a clear focus on learning, research, and excellence. The programme includes the following core themes: cognition, emotion, learning, and development learning, instruction, training, and technology psychology of excellence The Munich Center of the Learning Sciences maintains a network of more than 30 universities with internationally acknowledged expertise in the field of learning sciences. Interdisciplinary approach Multiple academic disciplines investigate learning. In the past, they did so each in isolation. Yet highly relevant processes and systemic problems, such as drop-out rates in educational systems, can be addressed adequately only through interdisciplinary collaborations. The MSc Psychology: Learning Sciences programme brings together researchers from psychology, educational science, neuroscience, biology, mathematics, medicine, and computer science who methodologically share an empirical and quantitative orientation. Supportive environment Orientation support is provided in our "Welcome Week" at the beginning of the semester. Additional tutoring is provided for specific courses, e.g., for statistics. General and academic advising is provided by the coordinator, the programme instructors, and guest professors. Excellent training conditions for a select group of students The MSc Psychology: Learning Sciences is a research-oriented programme that promotes a select group of highly motivated students to engage in state-of-the-art research in the internationally emerging field of learning sciences. The programme encompasses knowledge and skills training in interdisciplinary knowledge, research methods, and transferable skills related to learning sciences. Courses are taught in the form of seminars, small classes, and colloquia, rather than lectures. The programme uses innovative approaches to teaching and learning, such as problem-based learning and peer-to-peer teaching.
