The School Psychology department is engaged in research and teaching on psychological topics within the school context. Our research focuses on the cognitive, behavioral, and emotional development of individuals from early childhood in kindergarten or school age to adulthood. We concentrate on all those involved in school life, including students, teachers, and parents, and address learning, performance, and behavioral difficulties in students through prevention and intervention concepts.

Since the winter semester of 2012/13, the MSc School Psychology program has been offered by the Department of Psychology. This program builds on a BSc degree in Psychology or polyvalent Psychology and is unique nationwide.
