Global-MINDS
is an European Master’s Program in the Psychology of Global Mobility, Inclusion and Diversity in Society. It is a comprehensive 2- year study program with 120 ECTS focusing on insights into contemporary social and societal issues from Social and Cultural Psychology.
Global-MINDS is an English-language master’s degree program, previously co-funded by the European Union but currently self-funded. It has an indispensable internationalisation component and is designed to deliver high quality international training in scientific knowledge and practical skills in social and cultural psychology and with a focus on diversity, inclusion and migration. The 2-year program consists of two semesters of full-time course work, at two different universities, followed by a semester internship of the student’s choice and a final semester for completing and defending the master’s thesis. It is aimed at students with a Bachelor (or similar) degree in psychology. Partner universities are: University of Limerick (Limerick, Ireland), University Institute of Lisbon (Lisbon, Portugal), SWPS University (Warsaw, Poland) and University of Oslo (Oslo, Norway).
We envision a community of community psychologists who take action to address social issues by generating new and culture-sensitive knowledge and applying psychological principles, science and practice to global, societal challenges of the UN agenda. Our mission is to educate new generations of cross-cultural psychologists who are able to intervene in culturally sensitive ways to tackle the grand challenges of our society, especially mobility, inclusion, diversity, health and well-being.
