Jacobs's BSc in Integrated Social and Cognitive Psychology is built on a multi-level approach to human behavior, reflecting the insight that behavior is constrained and shaped by factors that range from biological and psychological variables to socio-cultural contexts. These factors interact in an intricate fashion in their effects on behavior. Our program focuses on equipping you with the skills to analyze, model, and eventually influence those multi-level interactions. You will explore in-depth how diverse, for instance, relationships between individual people, between social groups, and even between cultures, may become a function of influences from those different levels.
The Jacobs BSc program in Integrated Social and Cognitive Psychology lays a solid foundation for careers in a range of directions: advertising, counseling, diversity management health promotion, human resource management, intercultural relations, management consulting, market research, media, psychotherapy, and sales, as well as applied research in companies, public institutions, and non-governmental organizations (for details, please see career section on this page).
In particular, I.S.C.P. prepares for roles in which you contribute to strategies for facing the challenges of diversifying societies.
