USING KNOWLEDGE OF PSYCHOLOGY TO IMPROVE DAILY LIFE
In the Master’s programme Applied Cognitive Psychology, you will learn to apply knowledge of cognition and behaviour to situations and problems that occur in daily life.
Processing information
During this one-year programme, you will learn about human information processing. That knowledge is useful for making signage or advertising more effective, for example, or for making products more user-friendly.
You will also learn to come up with solutions for a wide range of problems that can occur in professional practice. Humans are dramatically changing their environment using increasingly complex technology, such as the Internet, social media, robotics and automation. In order to design an environment that is well suited to human cognitive abilities, one should understand human perception, understanding and reasoning.
