Psychology in Tübingen has a strong scientific orientation in both research and teaching.

Research in the basic disciplines focuses on perception, language, executive functions, numerical cognition, and temporal cognition, as well as on social communication and interaction processes. The applied disciplines include clinical, organizational, school, and applied cognitive psychology.
