The Master's degree in Psychology follows the first cycle of academic training in Psychology (Bachelor's degree in Psychology) and aims to:
a) deepen the knowledge in the scientific area of Psychology;
b) develop skills in psychological assessment, analysis, and intervention; and
c) develop personal and interpersonal skills essential for professional practice.
This Master's program spans two academic years and, in the second year, includes a curricular internship and a master's thesis. Thus, and in agreement with the EuroPsy (European Certificate in Psychology), which regulates and recognizes the training of psychologists in Europe, this cycle completes the training obtained in the first cycle, being a context for scientific, professional, and personal development that allows the construction of knowledge and skills necessary for work and research in the field of Psychology. The Master's degree in Psychology (School of Social Sciences, University of Évora) offers three areas of specialization: Clinical Psychology, Educational Psychology, and Social, Work and Organizational Psychology.
