The main goal of this master's programme is to provide the necessary competencies to research and intervene in fields such as Consumer Psychology and Social Cognition, among other subjects within the realm of applied cognition (e.g. Environmental Psychology).
Social cognition is a sub-topic of social psychology that focuses on how people process, store, and apply information about other people and social situations. It focuses on the role that cognitive processes play in our social interactions.
This degree aims to grant theoretical and laboratorial competencies in basic Psychology fields as well as knowledge regarding the most important theories and methods from this discipline, essential for both global and integrated comprehension of human behavior, enabling the critical usage of knowledge and research techniques.
