About the course

A Bachelor of Science in Psychology with a specialisation in clinical psychology, covering areas such as clinical assessment and psychological diagnostics alongside core psychology. It is taught on campus in Berlin or Munich over six semesters (180 ECTS).

Entry requirements for Irish students

• Macromedia asks for a recognised school-leaving certificate that gives entry to higher education, with official equivalency approval for certificates from outside Bavaria. It publishes no specific Leaving Cert rule, so German rules apply: six subjects, at least two at Higher Level with H5 or better, the other four at O6/H6 or better, including two languages and Maths at O5/H6 or better. Depending on how psychology is classified, Higher Level Maths at H5 (and possibly a Higher Level science at H5 for a B.Sc.) may also be needed. LCA and LCVP are not accepted. Confirm with admissions before you apply.
• No numerus clausus, entrance test or portfolio. You apply online with your school certificate, a CV, a motivation letter and a copy of your passport or ID card.
• English: the university lists TOEFL iBT 72, IELTS 6.0 or Burlington VTest as accepted proof. It does not say whether Leaving Cert English is accepted instead, so check with admissions.
