Admission requirements

Admission to orientations involving consultation
The number of places available in the two orientations involving consultation (i.e., the orientations «Child and Adolescent Psychology (with consultation)» and «Counselling and Vocational Psychology») is limited. For admission to these orientations it is therefore necessary to submit an application to the ad hoc committees at the Institute of Psychology, in addition to the usual application for admission to the Master’s degree course (which must be sent instead to the Admissions Service).
