To work as a professional Psychologist requires in-depth training, including completion of two study cycles (i.e. a Bachelor's and Master's) and a supervised professional internship. For the purposes of fulfilling this requirement, besides this general undergraduate course (Bachelor's) in Psychology, Iscte offers students a selection of options for further training in the second cycle (Master's) in Psychology. In these programs, which span the areas of Social and Organizational Psychology and other Applied Psychology domains (such as Health, Emotions, Intercultural Relations, Community and the Protection of Minors), students have the opportunity to deepen the professional skills acquired in the first cycle.
