Master in Psychological Science
The Master in Psychological Science has been designed to provide the necessary knowledge that will enable graduates to demonstrate practical, analytical, and research competencies for effective professional practice in the field of psychology.
Programme Overview
The Master in Psychological Science (Master di Primo Livello in Psychological Science) course focuses on the acquisition of advanced theoretical and methodological knowledge in the field of psychology by adopting an interdisciplinary approach to the study of the mind-brain system, of the man-machine interaction and of human interaction in new social environments.
The adopted perspective is based on an interdisciplinary approach, integrating technological and cognitive approaches. This allows students to gain a deeper insight into human action, focusing the training provision and other training activities mainly on multimedia educational aspects and on man-machine interaction.
The training path is characterised by training experiences and significant periods of research in highly qualified laboratories in the field of multimodal interaction (cognitive interfaces, multimedia etc.) in order to make the application of the acquired skills fully operational.
The programme combines modules comprising theoretical learning, research, and professional practice components which are deeply embedded in the module structure.
The curriculum is organised with a focus on the following:
- Each module offers opportunities for learning and applying knowledge related to the domain in focus.
- The learning outcomes and selected topics are based on professional standard benchmarking.

- The formative and summative assessments have been designed to ensure a fine balance between Assessment of Learning (AoL) and Assessment for Learning (AfL)
- The course design offers opportunities for independent professional practice as well as the dissertation.
