Objectives

The aim of the Field Practice in Psychology is to give students a close contact with practices linked with the Work Psychology formation area. Through the contact with professionals it aims at allowing a supervised transition to the professional practice and integration in the professional field.

Teaching methods and learning activities

The Field Practice should be orientated, preferentially, by a Psychologist in the institution where it's taking place (the person who orientates) and assisted by a lecturer of the Faculty (the supervisor) through periodic meetings with the person who orientates and with the students. If the institution doesn't have a Psychologist, a qualified professional in psychological practice will orientate the Field Practice.

Eligibility for exams

Total number of hours: 300 hours.
