Accreditations
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.

It is also a goal to provide a theoretical and empirical framework that allows the understanding and discussion of the structures and basic mental processes underlying human cognitive activities, such as perception, attention, and memory. A third goal is to reflect upon how real-life issues can be understood taking the theories and models of cognitive psychology, and experimentally addressed in controlled laboratry conditions.

The assessment throughout the semester
comprehends 2 components: 1) work group assignment (50%) and 2) individual written test (50%). The group assignment grade is the average of the oral presentation (50%) and written report (50%). The assessment throughout the semester implies an attendance rate not below 2/3 of the classes. To obtain a passing grade the student must achieve a minimum of 8 points in both components and a total average of 10 points minimum.
The final evaluation comprehends a single instrument: an individual written exam (100%). The passing grade is achieved with a minimum of 10 points.
